Highly directional antennas mean that the radiation source needs to be up in the sky to be even picked up by the drone.
Ground based jammers are physically not capable of doing this. And I'm pretty sure they use frequency bands that do not reflect off the ionosphere otherwise they couldn't talk to satellites.

Secondly it’s probably easier to jam the satellite, because you know exactly where it is. If you’re on the ground near the drone you can definitely send noise at the satellite so it can’t receive anything from the drone. You’d have to do some testing to see if a jammer off to the side (1000km away) works. I think it will.
