BRITISH Airports may soon be equipped with military-style weapons to blast pesky drones out of the sky under new laws being considered by the British Government.

The proposal will see police officers around airports armed with a “counter-drone kit”, which government sources suggest will include signal blockers, “hunter drones” and anti-drone missiles.

Pilots have reported several near misses in the last five years and the move follows major airport disruptions this month due to illegal drone activity.

We’re guessing the next popular Christmas toy might be new missile defence systems for drones - Mayday, Mayday!
