These have been a thing since WWII. They are often pretty complex to use and make. And expensive. And plenty of other layers of defense against them. These types of weapons and electronic warfare systems were obvious to people 80-90 years ago.
But most advanced militaries have these capacities in various forms.
One issue with small drones is that they are small and cheap. That means they often can’t carry the equipment needed to do these tasks and it would make them much more expensive. They also may not be able to travel the distances needed to strike the systems which are often far behind the front lines
