This is not a good look. Far better to target things like private jets which are at the intersection of wealth and excessive emissions
How hard would it be to fly a drone into an aircraft engine and take out a private jet? Honest question, not that I’m planning on doing it tomorrow or anything, I just don’t know much about drones or aircraft. I’m guessing it’s pretty hard to do, otherwise it would have been done by now.
On the ground? Easy, on the air It’d be pretty hard trying to keep up with them unless you had a rocket propelled drone or something based for speed, and you’d probably get one chance before it’s past you.

You’d ideally want something explosive with shrapnel so proximity is less of a concern.
I think rocket propelled drones are called missiles.
The video is literally a quadcopter FPV drone with a rocket engine.
Missiles would typically have a warhead.
Birds do a great job of disabling planes and they don’t have warheads, so YMMV I suppose.
