Consider for moment why the French are training eagles to take down drones: bombs. Now think about how the eagles are dealing with the drones... They knock them out of the sky. I can't be the only one seeing a problem with this.

"Use the 'interference gun'". If that works, and it's a BIG "if", the drone will either land or fall to the ground. Bombs away! Seriously, it's just as bad as an eagle crashing into it. Real gun? Same problem with the added bonus of a bullet going through the drone and continuing on its journey to who-knows-where.

So what's a government to do? The only solution I can see that removes the threat of a bomb going off is this: a much larger drone (650mm and above octocopter) armed with a net gun. The key here is to have the net tethered to the drone so it can carry the hostile drone away to a safe area. The drone-mounted net gun already exists (Excipio), just have to get the net tethered to the drone.

Bombs have an arming mechanism that triggers some time after they're released. They won't automatically explode just because they hit the ground.

A free falling drone bomb might. But more importantly: this isn't military grade munitions. This is home made acetone peroxide and the like I.e. highly unstable
