The other possibilities is that it is a) an ill-advised technology assessment program and that the drones are operated by the government or their contractors.
This seems unlikely, a day or two ago, Wright-Pat Air Force Base had to shut down flight operations because of drone activity. Doubt a tech program would be allowed to interfere with ongoing operations;
or b) this is some kind of commercial enterprise that is clearly out of control and needs to be reined in.
But yeah, I agree with Ninurta. Let's shoot down some down *confirmed* drones when they're in areas they should not be, and see if their components indicate their origin. This kind of activity points to needing once again light anti aircraft weapons like machine guns and 20-mm automatic cannon. One doesn't need a Stinger missile to down a drone unless it is quite high in altitude.
Cheers
