If I were an Arab and saw a drone hovering over my city, it would soon become a good target practice piece. All that is needed is a high powered rifle with a good scope. Hide behind a crumbled building and begin plinking away. What is so hard about that? Even in America if the popo want to do some flyovers on my property, it's my right to keep my airspace safe from potential harm from any nefarious drone. Oh, darn, a popo drone fell out of the sky due to a severe lead malfunction.
Drones are pretty hard to range and hit in-air even if loitering in a stationary position. It would be unlikely you could discreetly eliminate one without the companion drones in the flight spotting you and providing confirmation you are an armed combatant. You would likely be targeted almost immediately with either a ballistic drone, remote munitions, or directed fire.
If its a one-off police drone with no support team, you might have a chance. If its an actual drone warfare unit would be very difficult to defeat alone.

How about a 12 ga. with large shot?
Trap shooting is about to become a special forces skill
