I assume that they are radio controlled.

I also assume that if it impossible to come up with a video key that cannot be broken it is also impossible to come up with a radio code that cannot be broken.

Therefore I also assume that someone will be able to take control of the drone and do whatever with it.

I guess you’ll have to ask the Iranians.
After all, ‘bammers gave them access to one of the drones so that they could hack it.

I assume that they are radio controlled.

If you find what frequency they are using and throw up a jamming signal, it should lose contact with the pilot and return to base.

Or fly to Iran. You can never be sure.

A shot with an EMP generator will bring it down.

The military grade encryptions and RF techniques are for all practical purposes jam-proof. However, those drones are controlled from someplace by some human that isn’t jam-proof.

From another Freeper link, by JohnKinAK, quoting a comment on the article here:

Shoot down of civilian 'animal rights drone' by Hunt Club.

"There was a time when a R/C Club used to get up on Sundays at the crack of dawn and fly noisy Radio Controlled Airplanes right over my house where I was trying to sleep in. Being a peaceful person who had asked the R/C/ Club to just fly the Airplanes in the other direction at least until I was awake I handled the problem just like a peaceful person would.

I went to a Hobby Store and bought the most powerful R/C controller with a handful of the frequency chips that you could swap out in seconds. Each time a Radio Controlled Aircraft buzzed directly over my house I got the controller. With the swiftness of a sniper, I simply used the R/C controller by swapping out the chips until got the frequency of the buzzing airplane, took control and flew it out of site over the woods never to be found again. It only took three aircraft losses to be able to sleep in on Sundays. All peaceful. All legal. Anyone listening??
