I do admit I wonder about single point of failure with this, so hopefully it's part of some layered strategy. Maybe with some flingy nets, those matrix-barrel guns with like 100 barrels in a grid, eagles trained to swoop down and pick apart the props, etc. etc.
[edit] Disclaimer: I volunteer at a raptor conservancy. Please don’t propagate the belief that eagles or other birds of prey are an effective counter-drone strategy at scale
>> kamikaze explosives
(A couple of years ago these were called loitering munitions, with the meaning of a smallish UAV that could, well, loiter until a target presented itself. Personally I never liked the term 'kamikaze' because destroying yourself is true of shells, cruise missiles, etc etc.)
Myself as well although I think this is already one of the last lines of defense. These drone swarms don't have a great range so the launchers need to get lucky to get close enough in the first place (I'd hope).
I assume the eagle dies or gets a horrific injury in this scenario?
They stopped the initiative. Not sure why, but they didn't think it was effective.
Here's a video of some french trained eagles showing how easy it is.
