That’s correct but at least in Greece one cannot fly legally so close to an airport (the Gatwick guy broke the UK law as well). Greek rules are of course too restrictive by themselves.

Also 5 years in prison is a laugh looking at what they achieve with thisI would think that compared to the damages the airlines will demand, 5 years will look cheap.
When we had an aiprox at my club between an aircraft, one guy from Luton airpory ops mentioned that they get reports (2 or 3 a month) of drones being flown in the airspace, it usually get sorted by a quick police patrol and generally a law lesson for the kid without much distuption of the traffic

I doubt any sensible heli pilot is going to try and get close to a rogue drone…even if the law were to allow it…
I can see development of counter measures including armed anti- drone attack drones being deployed at airports.
