The invention relates to a drone (5) having at least one motor with at least one energy supply, at least one 5 propeller (5,1) and at least one effector (5.2) . Said drone is characterized in that it comprises at least one effector (5.2) which comprises steel nails, glass fragments, and/or sand, and/or at least one cutting charge and/or at least one pyrotechnic charge. The drone 10 (5) furthermore has a computer or processor enabling the drone to take decisions, to be able autonomously to patrol a specified area and to communicate, to which end the drone (5) has at least one transmission and receiving apparatus. A method according to the invention for 15 attacking at least one target (8) with at least one drone (5) comprises the steps: programming the drone (5) with data for image recognition, inputting the search area in which the target (8) is expected to be located, detecting a target (8) and flying to the target (8), preferably 20 directly, wherein said drone flies towards a barrel opening (10.1) of a weapon barrel (10) of the target (8) and the alignment of the weapon barrel (10) is detected so that it is possible to place the at least one effector (5.2) into the weapon barrel (10). Alternatively, a 25 further method for attacking at least one target (8) with at least one drone (5) is characterized by the steps: programming the drone (5) with data for image recognition, inputting the search area in which the target (8) is expected to be located, detecting a target 30 (8) and flying to the target (8), preferably directly, wherein said drone (5) flies towards a weapon barrel (10) of the target (8) and the drone (5) clamps around the barrel (10) or at least can hold onto the weapon barrel (10) and the at least one effector (5.2) modifies an 35 internal geometry of the weapon barrel (10) and the weapon barrel (10) is, for example, ripped open no later than when a projectile is fired.
