That might do the trick, as long as you've got air support handy (not
all warhips are aircraft carriers, or have one on call).

Actually, on reflection I can see problems. Trying to fly very close to
a UAV when you're closing at a speed of at least 340 metres per second
and the UAV might make unpredictable moves at any time could be a
recipe for disaster....a collision would certainly deal with the UAV
but not in a very cost-effective manner.
