I swear to God i had thought the same..Lol lol..obv a special type of thread..But you are a 100% right

In retrospect the better approach is to have drone operators with cutters but the kite flying approach allows for a low tech approach to get a lot of quasi untrained talent to work.

The problem with this approach is that unlike kites the cable of drones isn’t exactly taut.
So you’re really looking for a needle in a haystack.

The other obvious approach is the bike riders with shotguns but then they need training for discipline to know enemy from friendly drones and be very focused in kill zones

Obv its a light hearted idea, but consider it a last resort of such. The best is what i had written, a drone/quad copter with the ability to stay airborne for 24hrs+ and with a cutting device of some sort. Could also be equipped with some sort of machine gun. I actually will not be surprised if GIDS has come up with sth like that. It should have been a priority since the Ukraine and russian war has shown the world the direction in which wars will be fought now and in the future, till we get star trek/wars like weapons.

Also, soldiers should all be taught how to fly these quad copter/drones. It should be introduced in PMA as compulsory to know how to fly them.

How would you know which one to cut ? That the problem, so many of them and which is new, which is old ?

What’s the possibility of equipping the civil defense forces with these types of drones?

That should be the case. police should be equipped to deal with the drones once they have entered the cities. Troops should be responsible for when they are crossing the borders. Once they are about to reach the urban cities thats where the police should take over in bringing them down.

That is why it is imperative for all defence forces , civilian included, to be trained on how to operate drones as well as anti drone devices.

We have so many different anti terrorist squads/ groups other than the police and God knows what all, that it would be wise to shift/train them for anti drone operations when the need arises

Pakistan's friends have overestimated the capabilities of small UAVs and FPVs and underestimated the countermeasures of short-range air defense systems.

Below is a research report from the PLA.
It targets a scenario of 200 enemy drones within 30 minutes.

Civilian anti drone militia isn’t a bad idea. Every neighbourhood/area has their own anti drone focused militia with a proper command structure. During war they treat every drone as an enemy drone and get notified beforehand if a friendly drones will fly in the area.
