In addition to what was already said, dont forget that you can have the drone operating semi- or fully antonomously., alternativelly it can have a designated area of such mode of operation.

This can mean that there is little radio traffic.

In theory tou could also use point to point comms, like a laser line, as well. Tho I dont know if any operational drones use that.
