It seems to work for that model of drone. Extending that it works for "drones" and more so for terrorist drones is quite a stretch.

I have a DIY drone 10 feet from me, it was deisgned for medium loads, not for killing eagles but I'm willing to put it to the test if an eagle can crash it without dieing.

X8 drones with carbon fiber blades would give no chance whatsoever to the eagle.
