In breeding season, magpies are notoriously territorial. To the point where cyclists all over Australia have zip ties tied to their helmets to act as spike-like deterrants to swooping magpies.
They would absolutely ruin a drone in about 3 seconds flat with no worries.

- Anthony-G 5y agoI liked the tip in your link advising people to > Attach fake eyes, or an image of eyes, to the back of a hat or helmet. Magpies will mostly attack from behind, so if they think you are watching them out of the back of your head, they will be less likely to swoop or attack. If you do not have a hat or helmet, try wearing your sunglasses back-to-front.
