Issue with using FPV drones to take out Helicopters is to fold. To say nothing of the EWAR angle which most of hte newer birds are getting.

First is that the Prop was and speed of helicopters keep the Cheap quad copter drones away like a damn shield. The Prop Wash straight up blows them away. You need to get above, which is one of those EASIER SAID then done deals.

So no you have to use the more expensive specialy built psuedo missile FPV drones. Which are bigger and more robust to take higher speeds. And are easiler for the varisous sensor on a attack copter to spot and send a stream of 30mm proxy fuse that way. Or use the Copter greater speed and agility to just move out of the way.

Point simple?

The FPV drones are not a silver bullet Helicopter Killer. Just another speciality shell on the bandolier to be pull out as needed.
