In the recent times, Drones have become a major concern for US Army. You might think why is that if US itself controls a number of military drones of advance technologies like MQ-9 Reaper and RQ-4 Global Hawk. The reason isthat US Military is having a tough time with ISIS Drones.
While dealing with drones has become a major problem for military, many ideas like the following have been surfaced.
- Jammers that can disrupt the drone’s signal
- Shooting lasers to hurt drones in mid flight
- Ammo that can damage drones
Other than that there is one particular way that is currently being used by troops at the front lines. The way t tackle this hostile is shooting down these drones from any military helicopter with one of the following machine guns that are mounted on the choppers for the door gunners.
- M240
- M2
- M3
All of these machine guns can clear your trouble for drones in a pinch.
While there is a chance that these old school methods won’t work, but military still makes use of them in case they need them.
