My main irritation that spurred the comment you replied to is in response to "heheheh drone interception is so easy, I personally invented 500 techniques."

I'm not a drone expert. Maybe you are. But that person clearly is not.

    Oh no for sure, that guy's talking nonsense. You can build a directed and relatively quite high power microwave antenna at home no problem - but building an n-tron (I'll be fucked if I can remember which type of '-tron' it is, I confess. Gravitron?) with enough power to take out a drone from more than a few meters away is well beyond what's feasible to construct by yourself at home.
