I've had a drone taken down by an eagle. But I've also had larger eagles completely ignore drones coming quite close to them because they don't think it's food or a threat.
I feel like the criminals would kill the eagle pretty quickly

Birds are actually fairly straightforward to evade—you rapidly ascend vertically. If the bird tried to follow, its wings would stall (they can feel this happening and avoid it).
