This is scary. The drones don't have to be armed or pose a direct kinetic threat to a nuclear power station to be of concern. In fact they are probably more useful in gathering intel and targeting data/information than as weapons.

There are different approaches to defending against drones. Some involve shooting them down with small arms, others rely on more advanced anti-aircraft weapon technology. The least intrusive are electronic warfare based and jam radio signals used to control the drone. It was such a system that put an end to the drone overflights that shut down Gatwick late in 2018.
