The Russian government's ornithology service has long used falcons, hawks and eagle-owls to protect against crows
It has been discovered that falcons are better equipped for taking down drones than hawks.
The Russians have therefore trained these birds of prey to hunt and disable drones controlled by terrorists or foreign spies.
The Kremlin complex, (file photo) including the Grand Kremlin Palace, also has weapons specifically for the drone threat
Anti-drone guns fitted at the Kremlin are said to be able to shoot down aerial interlopers from 1.6 miles away.
This development is as a result of concerns that a terror attack by ISIS or a similar group could use a remotely piloted flying vehicle to drop explosives on landmark targets.
