I wonder if you could train raptors to take down drones.
yes you can. dutch police and probably some others trained eagles to take down drones, but project was shelved because of lack of interest
I daresay interest is likely rising nowadays
It would only be useful for protecting airports from morons. In a war you would have a shot exchange problem if you use highly skilled avian operators against kamikaze drones.
Why eagles?
Falcons would be the logical choice, falcons take their prey in the air. Eagles however take prey from the ground.
yes actually. I saw a video of training for this long before the war started. Surprised nobody has tried it yet, I assume it's probably pretty difficult to fight actual birds with controllers and a ton of delay
Well, raptors can take down balloons, so maybe..?
