They're pretty easy to crash with some cheap radio gear.

Nice, like the way you think, where is radio shack when you need it?

What radio gear?

EDIT: I think I should expand on my comment.

There are only two ways to crash a professional drone with "radio gear".

1. You know the code being used ( highly unlikely due to professional encryption ) and the drone is within 10m and you have a 1KW transmitter and a large directional antenna.
2. You don't know the code being used. The drone is within 10m and you have a 100KW transmitter and a large directional antenna.

Even then, a professional drone will have electronic hacking detection and will just return to base.

Or catapult dead AA batteries at them, does that constitute electronic warfare?
