    Nah, just about any rifle round can. It’s a matter of hitting it somewhere important though. Most people can’t hit anything at any meaningful distance. So now you’re going to shoot into the air, miss the helicopter and take out someone a couple miles away as collateral.

      This is true. Droning tail rotors doesn’t risk missing just the helicopter falling on someone.

      I just realized that a couple of drones in the airspace is probably sufficient to deter a helicopter.
