See Netherlands Police Training Birds of Prey to Disable Unauthorized Drones
More Dutch problem-solving, this time using raptors
We saw that Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department is testing out a drone-capturing drone. That requires a skilled drone operator. Dutch police, however, are experimenting with a slightly easier method: Using a freaking awesome-looking bird of prey to rip unauthorized drones right out of the sky. Check this out:
In the ship-slicing post I made a jibe about how no one wants to learn Dutch, and now it's come back to bite me as I can't understand a thing in the video. So here I stand before our Dutch readers, hat in hand, begging you to tell us what they're saying! I mean, I realize most of it is probably just them gushing about the majesty of America's national animal, and how wise we were to select it, but perhaps they offer some details about the anti-drone training too?

Haha! Apart from complimenting America on its mascot of course, they say:
Thanks for this, Pieter!
Nice post.
A large drone with some sort of payload could fly into the air intake of a jet and potentially bring down the plane
"...and now it's come back to bite me as I can't understand a thing in the video. So here I stand before our Dutch readers, hat in hand, begging you..."
hahahha
Can anyone who pilots helicopters chime in on how real of a threat a quadcopter drones are to a full sized helicopter? My admittedly ignorant opinion is that one of these drones should pose no threat at all.
Drone is such a connotative term though. It's not like anyone's RC quadcopter is dropping Hellfire missiles on their neighbors vegetable garden. As a person who builds RC planes and quads, I honestly don't understand the concern around "Drones" and why everyone has suddenly become so afraid.
those sharp blades gotta hurt the birds
Around the 2:14 mark he mentions that the propellors should't be an issue since the birds' claws are protected by scales.
