From reading the news articles, the insurgents were using software, dishes and a receiver card to grab the information being transmitted from the drones direct off the air.

Re: Insurgents Hack Video Feed for Drones

this has been problem since the Drones have been in combat, we've known about it, we just figured it wasnt a Big Deal

What is scary is if we were to use these weapons against, Russia, North Keora, or China, you bet your beans they know about the problem and would exploit the heck out of it
also Russia and china have their own unmanned drones
