“I think you don’t really understand what it would take to accomplish what you suggest. Billion to one shot maybe.”

And yet a multi-copter at JFK and a drone at Glasgow appear to have been intentionally placed hovering within 300 ft. of airliners making landing approach this year.

I calculate different odds, especially using virtual piloting combined with Jeppesen maps and GPS navigation.

could a laser weapon...onboard such a drone be accurate enough to do significant damage as to take one down?
