How many drones does PLA have in its arsenal? Do they have like drone brigades? Similar to fighter brigades?

PLA currently has more than 2500 combat capable planes. What is the number for high end drones that are not tiny suicide or dji like drones. Let's say similar to wing loong or other large drones.


Also how many are they adding each year, so that we can get a sense of how much the arsenal is expected to grow in the future

We don't know, is basically what we can say I think.

Or well, we might be able to say that the numbers isn't in the 1000+ probably likely not under 100 either, but what it is between that?
Don't know, I would make an uneducated guess with it being at the lower end say 200.

Oh, and the above isn't something like DJI level small drones or something like switchblades, but actual larger drones for either reconnaissance or equipped with more ordinance (and capable of flying a lot higher than the smaller drones I wrote earlier).

LV50M(?) VTOL artillery spotter drone. So far, I've only seen it being used by troops in Tibet.

The JN1101 integrated anti-UAV system developed by CETC. It utilizes a variety of active and passive sensors to detect and track UAVs and deploys countermeasures to disrupt their navigation and control signals.

Various rotary UAVs being shown at the World Radar Expo in Beijing, mostly intended for civilian uses such as crowd surveillance, firefighting, etc.

The War in the Ukraine

One way to save power is to have a listen mode for the jammer. The jammer will only turn on the blast mode when predefined radiation are detected.
Maybe place multiple antennas around the jammer to increase the effective range of the detector.

Aren't civilian UAV 2.4/5.8 GHz frequency extremely busy? How would they even go about seperating noise from actual UAV emission?

You may have power outages or be doing combat away from civilian areas, meaning the only broadcasts in that range will be used for controlling drones.

how many “civilian” signals can there be at the front line?
