I saw an article not long ago about swarm drones.
What they do is go up in a swarm like bees and stay in contact with each other while in flight. Given the programing one could create them and have an auto detect to intercept program to take out drones not in the swarm. That would give creditable cause for taking down an intruder Drone. I'd post a sign stating "Swarm Drones only zone" "Fly here at your own risk"

I like that, very reasonable.

Heh, I guess it makes sense to ban jamming devices.
We already have a degree of inconvenience with the GPS spoofer in central Moscow, which makes the civilian sat-nav show that you are in the Vnukovo airport instead of central Moscow. It's job is to make sure that if the drone's comm link is jammed that it would fly back where it came from - to the Vnukovo airport, where it would be apprehended if the user fails to regain contol.

This is only completely theoretical, of course. Any resemblance to real life events or people is purely coincidental.
The EMP "device" mentioned does only work once, not continuously. It has to be overcharged to generate an impulse strong enough already for a range of 30 to 50 meters. So it will not jam continuously, but only for a second. It is said that someone was able to fry a car radio from a distance of 20some meters, to get rid of one of those "thumpmobiles" cruising around at four o'clock in the morning. No idea what it did to the rest of the car's electronics. It can also burn skin if it worked for a longer time, but it does not. Dangerous, no doubt. From permanent blinding (expositioon to eyes) to actuating airbags, brakes etc. Car electronics should be safe, but.. no guarantees. So, speaking of drones it has to be closer than it will usually be, to get it to work. And it is probable that the targeted electronics will be destroyed, not just jammed or disturbed. You could observe what happens to the electronics if you put an aluminium strip in your microwave. I advise not to do that.

Never ban drones. Armed drones don't kill people, people kill people.

What raises my doubt is how fast Madura apparently was able to react to the "drone attack".
I am not convinced that this event was not staged by the regime itself.

Saudi Arabia Drone Attack Is a Strike at Oil’s Future
Quote:
Drones = missiles that can be leisurely guided right to a target. Or.... drones that carry missiles, like the US Predator. Man, this is almost a replay of the advent of the submarine in 1914, a small platform that is a threat to large systems. I would love to learn, how are these drones controlled? What are the weaknesses, what are the capabilities? Could a well-funded group terrorists or paramilitary group afford to make 10, 20, 100 of them and use them in a swarm attack on an aircraft carrier? Nuclear power plant? Political rally? Wonder what Saudi's response will be? Lie back and take it or respond against Iran with force? Vote now. I wonder of the climate change warriors will freak out now, look at all that pollution!

My guess: Watch for retaliatory strikes against Iranian oil infrastructure. Oil at $100 a BBL by year's end.

The US are blaming Iran but not backing it up with any proof
Funny thing is, Iran and Saudi Arabia will both benefit if the price of crude rises. Quote:

Drones flying in rural Colorado and Nebraska have residents freaking out. No one knows who's behind them. Quote:
