France has had a lot of concerns surrounding the terror attacks in recent years.
One aspect of their concern was elevated with an increasingly sophisticated use of drones by civilians.
In turn - they have begun hiring, er, training Golden Eagles - one of the largest birds of prey in the world, with incredible vision and deadly powerful claws.
Seriously though - these birds are unbelievably big:
Through repeated training sessions, harnessing their speed, ferocity and precision, the French Military currently has several Golden Eagles in their employ. (Source: Terrorists are building drones. France is destroying them with eagles. Washington Post. Selk, Avi)
They make it look easy.
So why hire birds and not just shoot the drones out of the sky?
Well - think about it - where do terrorists commonly target? Crowds of people.
The birds targeting these drones will prevent sharp objects, anti-aircraft explosives, and debris from hitting people.
And - giant hawks are just awesome.
