Comment on When will we have auto turrets mounted on plane engines to stop birdstrikes?

If anything like this was ever done it’s more likely it would be independent drones flying ahead of the plane at its 10 and 2 o’clock

You do if those drones lay down firepower to clear the airspace for the aircraft.
And as a side benefit, the drones stay in the ATC zones where aircraft go through bird airspace, so you don’t have weapons on foreign planes AND you can shoot down anything else that makes it into the aircraft’s collision zone, like other drones, balloons or military helicopters.
