    Would these drones show up on flight radar?

    Assuming not, I wonder how hard they would be to detect and track.

      I doubt they run ADS-B transceivers, but perhaps they do. In that case picking up the signal is almost trivial with a cheap SDR but the relatively low altitude means it might not show up on flightradar if there isn’t one of their receivers in sight
