DARPA: As drones become faster, smarter and able to carry larger payloads over longer distances, they are real threat if used as weapons. So the military is scrambling to develop countermeasures to shoot them in the sky, including a new approach that shoots films at them.
Aiming and dropping a drone from the sky is not impossible, but it is not easy. Thus, the military spends a lot of money on the development of anti-drone technology, just like on the development of drone technology.
DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency USA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), appears to have developed an alternative way of neutralizing drones according to the following video showing a drone drone falling to the ground after dropping footage. The Achilles heel of most drones, whose maneuverability and stability in the air depend on spinning all the propellers at once, is finding a way to disable one or more of them.

DARPA has developed a system for detecting, locating and tracking drones, as well as an automated system that makes flight path predictions. It then automatically activates its reusable "weapons" in the field, and waits for which of the two can reach the drone first.
Instead of lasers, bullets, or nets, the last approach to neutralizing the threat is to launch a cap of strong tape as it spreads as it travels through the air, increasing the chance of being wrapped in at least one drone propeller, which will stop the whole boat.
