On the other hand, can you kill a deer with your bare hands ?
- RealityVoid 10y ago> On the other hand, can you kill a deer with your bare hands ? I don't know, never tried it. Maybe. But that is irrelevant to the matter at hand, an eagle would get fucked up by fast-spinning propellers no matter of its ability to kill a deer. They are just pieces of meat with bone through them, mo matter their speed and athletic ability. As to the drones itself, for carrying heavy loads most likey they would use and X8 design. I once had the nasty pleasure of flipping an X8 drone upside down and for some reason, don't remember why, lost control and propellers were spinning full throttle, upside down. As you can imagine, it was a spinning death-machine and the only clearance I had to grab it was an 10x10cm square right in the middle of the drone. It was terrifying, but managed to stop it. I can't imagine an eagle grabbing it anywhere without it getting messed up. As a side-note, a decent X8 mid-sized-lift drone can be custom buit for under 500E. I don't know how much an eagle would cost.

- RealityVoid 10y agoIt seems to work for that model of drone. Extending that it works for "drones" and more so for terrorist drones is quite a stretch. I have a DIY drone 10 feet from me, it was deisgned for medium loads, not for killing eagles but I'm willing to put it to the test if an eagle can crash it without dieing. X8 drones with carbon fiber blades would give no chance whatsoever to the eagle.
