The point you are missing that has been made is that there is no
need for the transmitter to be at the same place as the command
post or the only one. If I was doing this I would have a command
post, fibre optic links to several transmitters and possibly the
transmitters using remote aerials. Combine that with random
transmitter selection for each transmission and it will make life
difficult. Oh eventually you will run out of usable transmitters
but the swarm is likely to be extinct by that point anyway.

The so called computer intelligence required by each UAV is a
much bigger problem.
