How soon can we buy Spike Missles to protect against drone invasions?

Spike is the world's smallest guided missile and can be used to take down drones. It was designed by the U.S. Navy and is capable of tracking and hitting targets from over 2 miles away.

Shouldn't the military conduct some due diligence and figure out what they are before they start shooting?

And some people think they are US govt drones.
So we pay to put them up in the air and then pay to shoot them down?

Of course if the drones are someone's legal property flying in legal airspace,
then the shooters will get taken to court.

Life in the US has become surreal.

4 foot massive drone to try to get a close up. All that’s going to do is cause further confusion. I wonder how many of the drone sightings are people who heard about it and sent up their own?
