I'm no expert but this looked human-controlled in how it went for a pass, missed, and came back for the kill. FPVs are usually lightweight so I doubt they can carry the hardware for autonomy. My guess is they are using bands that aren't jammed.

Funny to see all these anti-drone and anti-air systems being taken out by.... drones!

But that's like saying that radios are unjamable because they use different frequencies. They're not unjamable they're just harder to jam.

My guess is there's different levels of fallback, Humans can pilot it when there's a signal, if that fails it can use GPS with some kind of pre-selected target, and that fails it can use on board tracking.

However I suspect that the best anti-electronic warfare attack it has is just relying on the fact that the Russians haven't got it switched on. Like how most of the autonomous assault boats rely on the fact that the Russians never seem to actually have any guards on duty.

If they can simply switch frequency band the jamming is not really heavy and the title misleading.

We can do broadband jamming since ww2.

I mean they can't jam everything, that would leave them without communications for instance. If you figure out which frequencies the Russians are using and work within that band, you could get around the jamming.
