That's the beaurecratic shitshow I'd expect from Germany.

Rednecks have already proven that is hard bordering on impossible to safely shoot down a drone. Short of using drone-specific countermeasures, you might as well be using a butterfly net.

Does buckshot not work?

Apparently not well enough. There's enough videos online of people trying and failing to shoot at drones that it's a sort of well-proven fact that until a drone is VERY close, like 30-40 feet is my guess, it's out of buckshot range. The war in Ukraine has really shown what countermeasures work and what don't.

The article mentions failed jamming attempts.
I guess it is easy to jam civilian drones, but more sophisticated military ones probably have systems to navigate without a constant signal connection. i guess once in place and knowing the last heading, returning "home" should be rather easy to automate.
