Terrorists are building drones. France is destroying them with eagles.

[Sylvain]

I just came across this.France is training golden eagles to intercept small drones potentially used by terrorists.

A golden eagle can reach up to 110 mph during a hunting dive.
Not sure what the speed of those commercial drones.

A drone flew over the White House lawn in 2015 and crashed.Maybe the Secret Service could train bald eagle to do the same, that would be freaking epic.
President Trump could keep one in his office and realease it in case of a drone attack on the White House.

Those drones have been spotted flying above nuclear power plants in France, potentially to gather intelligence and plan terrorist attacks.
They can carry a small payload of explosives too.

The eagles are wearing kevlar bands on their legs to avoid getting cut by the drone propellers.
