Drone collisions with airliners may not be fatal, US study suggests

That's a good summary of the QinetiQ report, a lot of the reporting seems to have missed that the tests were to validate the software rather than to see what a typical drone would do. Having had the chance to see some of the video footage of the live tests vs the computer modelling it was scarily accurate. Now they've validated their modelling the next stage is really to decide what an appropriate test would be confident that the simulation will be accurate enough.
