Adding on to the other answers here, assuming the jammer makes the operator lose control of the drone then the drone would have to seek the jammer autonomously. Even disregarding the usual problems with autonomous seek and destroy bombs, since the drone is programmed to follow the jammer the enemy can move the jammer and effectively guide the drones, either far away until they run out of battery and die, or even worse back towards you / your allies
