The cheap drones Iran makes get a GPS coordinate plugged into them and they fly there. Carriers rarely stay in the same place for long so they'd be effectively useless against them.

The immediate counters and questions raised are:

* cost of adding encrypted mobile comms to receive target location update,

* turn about time on russian sat intell on carrier positions,

* observed carrier path patterns wrt drone flight times ( or fractions of flight time if mid air updates can occur )

* numbers and timings of drones that can be launched with alt coords to play predictive battleships with.
