tvR - Satu helang marah ditebus guna tampalan iaitu langit daripada drone ber-musuhan minggu ini di Cambridge, Massachusetts, mengetuk peranti rakaman drone dari langit semudah mangsa biasa.

YouTube pengguna dan perisian pemaju Christopher Schmidt telah mengibarkan Phantom FC40 quadcopter drone sekitar Majalah Beach Park di bandar ini, apabila mangsa burung gergasi mengambil pengecualian kepada aktiviti-aktivitinya. Dalam erti kata Schmidt, burung "tidak terlalu gembira" dengan kehadirannya.

Rakaman ini menunjukkan pemangsa yang mahir swooping ke dalam kamera sebelum swipe di dengan talon yang sangat besar dan mengetuk ia keluar dari langit.

"Sebaik sahaja dia terbang ke arah saya, saya musnah turun props untuk cuba mengurangkan sebarang kemudaratan kepada burung," Schmidt menulis bersama beliau muat naik video di YouTube.

An irate hawk reclaimed its patch of sky from an antagonistic drone this week in Cambridge, Massachusetts, knocking the buzzing recording device out of the sky as easily as its normal prey.

YouTube user and software developer Christopher Schmidt had been flying the Phantom FC40 quadcopter drone around the city’s Magazine Beach Park, when the giant bird of prey took exception to his activities. In Schmidt’s words, the bird “wasn’t too happy” with its presence.

The footage shows the predator skillfully swooping into the camera before swiping at it with its enormous talons and knocking it out of the sky.

“As soon as he flew at me, I throttled down the props to try to minimize any harm to the bird,” Schmidt wrote alongside his upload of the video on YouTube.

Drone kemudian jatuh ke tanah dan terletak terbalik di padang bola sepak taman itu. "Setakat yang saya boleh beritahu, helang merah berekor juvana keluar tanpa cedera, dan setelah mengalahkan mangsanya, gembira untuk berundur," kata Schmidt.

Ini bukan kali pertama hidupan liar tempatan telah diserang pesawat invasif. Pada bulan Jun 2013, penyelidik di University of Maryland, yang dibiayai oleh Tentera Amerika Syarikat, menghadapi masalah yang sama. Yang seperti hidup Robo-Raven - sayap yang boleh terbang secara bebas daripada satu sama lain - telah juga diserang oleh helang di salah satu penerbangannya.

Disember lepas, pengguna YouTube Buddhanz1 juga difilemkan senario di mana seluruh kawanan burung menyelam bom petrol DJI phantom drone beliau.

The drone then tumbles to the ground and rests upside down on the park’s football pitch.

“As far as I could tell, the juvenile red-tailed hawk came out unscathed, and having defeated his prey, was happy to retreat,” Schmidt said.

This isn’t the first time that local wildlife has attacked invasive drones. In June 2013, researchers at the University of Maryland, funded by the US Army, faced a similar problem. The lifelike Robo-Raven – the wings of which can flap independently of each other – was also attacked by a hawk on one of its flights.

Last December, YouTube user Buddhanz1 also filmed a scenario where a whole flock of birds dive-bombed his DJI phantom drone.
