Back in WW2, there was a concept of a 'rammer fighter' proposed - maybe we need racing drones that kamikaze at the offending drone
Racing drone rammers were suggested on the scarefest thread in news and rumours. It might be the worst suggestion of all. Lithium Polymer batteries are not your friend, and the drones are all manoeuvring, and the fpv feed has latency, and the picture quality is terrible and so on...
