Given the novelty, proliferation and overall significance of combat drones in the Ukrainian war and other recent conflicts, I wonder if it's only a matter of time until some combatant somewhere deploys nuclear warheads for EMP effect as a countermeasure.
I doubt that'll work since it's essentially same as EMPing your own positions given that drones are offensive, not defensive forces. If you had enough space between for your own units and positions being affected over a very large area, you wouldn't be having a drone problem in the first place.
