Ukraine's done this with store bought drones, plastic explosives, and some knowledge of frequency communication to get past Russian jammers. AP published an article on Ukraine's drone operation rather recently.

Everyone does this with store bought drones (mostly sourced from China, FWIW). It's so incredibly affordable it's crazy.
