stupid.. There is no way to say that the drone won't hurt the eagle.
Honestly, It wouldn't shock me to know its possible for those blades to possibly take the eagles foot off.

Especially someone that flies with carbon blades.
This eagle was trained, I read about this and they are training them to grab them out of the sky.

You can see the feathers that have been ripped off of the eagle from the drone props...

Yep it was trained, as in "military training exercise". Problem is it doesn't look like a military drone, more like the kind we fly. Still lost a few pieces of tail feathers though.

All carbon fiber blade arguments are now invalid.

We must protect our drones.

There are a few videos highlighting anti-drone tech, and that was one of the European strategies...

Along with net-shooting cannons and wi-fi interrupting rifles.

The coolest was the net-shooting drones... cannibalistic hunter/killers!

I flew in an isolated area once and two eagles where circling above my drone at a slightly higher altitude..I was out there quick!
