You know, there's no reason we can't have anti-drone fireworks.

They don't really even need dangerous amounts of explosives, they just need a strong net to get caught in a prop.

Drones are pretty damn slow if you compare it to a rocket.

I am thinking like silly string or something a bit more durable pressed into a ball. Launch it and some part of that sticky string is going to catch it.

That works too. It just needs to get caught in a single prop for it to go down
