India trains eagles to intercept and destroy rogue drones effectively.

Telangana police successfully trained eagles to counter drone threats, inspired by a similar, albeit unsuccessful, Dutch initiative. The 'Garuda' squad, comprising five eagles, underwent three years of training. Their success has sparked interest from other Indian security forces. The cost-effective method focuses on training and specialized diets for the eagles, but limitations exist concerning drone differentiation and size.
