Wouldn't it be possible to use something to jam the propellers instead of blowing it up? I heard about hawks being trained to throw nets on drones, a solution like that would make the drones reusable and significantly reduce the cost of taking one down. In case of a drone without props, attach a parachute to one of the wings and it will fall out of the sky softly enough you can maybe even salvage the parts

This is a great idea. They could deploy a hook to catch the wing and then as the drone retreats, a mesh is released over the propeller which then wraps around the engine like a tire wrappler but at the end of the mesh is the fancy hook which will then rip the wing off. Then they can just pick up the parts for inspection.
