Probably employing a link jamming technology, like has been implemented in Ukraine. The technology is relatively simple to stop control signal frequencies to these drones, as well as stop the video feed, without which the operator is literally flying blind so the can’t give relevant control inputs. This technology is why fibre optic controlled drones are now widespread in Ukraine.
AFAIK, there are no hobby drones that have fiber optic links, so this frequency mitigation will be effective against the vast majority of current drone threats.
