And here I was thinking I was the only one pondering methods to create a homemade MANPAD that could drop one of these drones.

Americans are very creative and it probably won’t take too long for a “civilian” to come up with a cheap, inexpensive Drone Buster. If that were to happen, I would suspect that this “Folk Hero” would probably be shortly working for one of the larger corporations that develop weapons for our military. :)

I’m thinking electronic counter measures ie cause problems with the control signals or figure some way to cause sparks/short circuits on the control system circuit boards.

It’s silent & with the use of directional antennas it would be discreet as well. Gonna have to look up some of my old friend in the ham radio world.

I wonder how this might affect a drone:
