The Picture of the Century... Nature defeats Technology

If I remember correctly the strength of these is quite low. They just spin really fast. They cannot even break skin and give you a cut afaik.
that's good. I'm glad the birb isn't at risk while killing the robit

Until it becomes an arms race, blades will be made of lightweight metals that are super thin to save weight and therefore sharp, and motors be built with more torque.

Nearly every consumer drone uses plastic blades and every modern one like the whole DJI lineup uses the folding ones which hurt much less as they can tilt back when hitting something.

They can cut the shit out of you. They won't sever a finger or anything with the stock props (some aftermarket carbon fiber stuff might though), but they'll fuck up flesh.

The Mavic series has folding blades. But the Phantom series pictured has rigid blades that are stiff enough they'll fuck up flesh.

The mythbusters tested this a while ago so things might have changed but even their heavy duty camera drone with carbon fiber could not go through bones if I remember correctly. Most drones will not seriously cut you or even break skin. The one in the picture definitely will not.

Birb v robit, I love it. Should be a tv series title or a comic.

A phantom will absolutely break skin. I flew one for years.
Lots of newer drones like the Mavic series have folding props that won't break skin, but those fixed-blade props were like getting hit with a weed-whacker.

Technology.

I hope that doesn't hurt to do. it's cool as hell to see but I'm unaware of how many rotor blade impacts a hollow bird bone can take
Well birds are robots, so prolly a lot.

This plastic bomber can’t really hurt much.

They're investigating whether it would be deadly by cutting through your neck. Drone tech has also changed significantly in the last decade. They literally have trouble flying straight and level and hitting the neck of their dummy. But their main problem is the drone hits something and falls away. They put the same smaller prop on a stick and saw into a plucked chicken. Their bigger one did actually slice the neck open before falling away.
Modern drones have much more powerful motors. From personal experience even the folding blades will give you at least surface cuts. Do not randomly assume they will not cut you, especially if you grab them.

This a dumb argument in general
It would fucking hurt like hell to say the least and the bird doesnt deserve that

Next step, train eagles to drop bombs on Russians.
