Perhaps you should post the same question on "PPRuNe Problems and Queries" and see what responses it gets. Your idea seems sensible but I don't have a strong opinion on it.
In the meantime, I thought I would share this item to highlight what drones are up to:"A Two-Pound Ukrainian Drone Just Shot Down A 12-Ton Russian Helicopter":

Well, if 'true' (in the fog of war), I don't think the drone shot down the helicopter, rather rammed into it at a critical location (rotorhead?, tail rotor?, cockpit?). There had to be a little luck involved in that from the Ukrainian side, but also perhaps a very skilled drone operator?
It was on the ground taking off. Pretty easy target compared to some of the stuff they engage. Still, nicely done!
