An 8 pound bird is made of flesh and bone, an 8 pound drone has hard plastics, metal motors and Lipo batteries that will burst into an intense hot flame when the case is breached. If you think that a jet engine at takeoff power can ingest one of these, which WILL explode when it hits the first set of blades, and shatter them like glass, and survive, then you have never seen FOD damage.
