The thing I'm imagining looks like a big radar gun that just kinda floods the appropriate channels in a beam (depends on drone), but it would still require someone to spot the drone and someone to aim the jammer (and calibrate it to 4G or wifi or whatever), so lots to go wrong in the time it takes for a drone to cross from unrestricted to restricted airspace. And if the drone has a directional antenna (less likely the smaller the drone, but for a purpose built assassin drone, could be) it would be a lot less effective.
But I'm still not sure if its a real thing. It does sound like something cops would buy should it exist tho

they exist yes

probably fine for consumer drones but I'm assuming they aren't foolproof
Ahh I see what you mean yeah. I feel like if these were effective they'd be mounted on every single tank instead of cope cages though.
