Perhaps they need remote control rocket launchers to start shooting them down?
That could be a fun game: RC heli vs RC missiles.
Sort of like Missile Command[^] for real!

Then get ready for a challenge. That's a T-Rex 700 and I have seen some with more powerful motors or even twin turbines that reached 250 km/h and more.

Seriously expensive. Not like the ones you see selling in Buriram for 500 Baht.

Expensive, but nowhere near 20000$ I looked up a kit for the same helicopter on Ebay and would love to get one.

That's not an 'expensive drone kit'. On the tail boom you can see the manufacturer's name: Align.
It's an Align T-Rex 700 model helicopter. Here[^] you have the first offer I found on Ebay for € 529,95. They come in many different complete or partial configurations. Let's say that you can get very good quality parts for € 1000 - 2000.
Then you might need this[^] to get first person view when flying it. € 369.00 no more.
That's it. The mechanism to release the cargo is just a little practical model building. The sender and receiver have free channels which can be used for this.
And now I take a closer look at that 'Rex on Ebay. I'm not quite ready yet for a bird this size, but the price looks good. 
Edit: The 'Rex 700 is a kit and contains just the mechanical parts and the motor. You need to get four servos, a receiver, motor controler, stabilization, batteries and rotor blades of your choice. So yes, it will be at least € 1000 until it is ready to lift off. Still a good price for a heli of this size.
Edit^2: I took the 'Rex for a little flight in the simuator. I hope the sound of the motor and the blades is anything like in the simulator. It was as stable as a heli this size should be, but especially roll and yaw were much more direct than I expected. I think I'm going to book an hour with a flight instructor and a T-Rex 700 to try out the real thing.

I thought it was a little unfair on some members who wouldn't necessarily know where "Mr Auld" lives and works. Perhaps just using "Scotsmans high ground" or similar would have been fairer - I dunno, I'm not the setter, because my mind just doesn't work that way.

I thought the Mr Auld reference was a dead give away. I was thinking of Scottish ranges immediately and I'm on the other side of the world!
