We have seen various methods of dealing with drones, such as with nets, with special radio signal weapons, with regular weapons, with bazookas, and even with specially trained eagles. Those in charge of a competition serf στη Χαβάη μας χάρισαν μια διαφορετική προσέγγιση: όπως φαίνεται στο παρακάτω βίντεο, κατέρριψαν ένα drone χρησιμοποιώντας ένα ελικόπτερο.
In most international sports organizations, those in charge are quite protective of their intellectual property rights, since they are an additional income to compensate for the exorbitant costs of an internationalorganizations. So too in World Surf League (WSL). It is almost impossible to carry out professional filming or photography within the competition areas unless you have been previously approved by the WSL.
So last year, when an unauthorized filmmaker was flying his drone just above the WSL competition site in Peahi, Hawaii, organizers tried to stop him.
At first they threw flippers towards the drone trying to hit it with vertical shots. But when they saw that they couldn't reach it since its operator was flying it so far that the flippers couldn't reach it, they enlisted a regular helicopter. Flying the helicopter over the drone she pulled it towards her sea with the large vertical wind wave produced when hovering.
Although the video is from last year, we believe that you have not seen it since it is not famous in Greece. Check it out below:
