I wonder how effective at 308 round is to a drone, even just putting a sizable hole in the wing. And that's assuming it's causing at an altitude that's within range.
Seems like there's better ways:

Iranian here, it is was revealed that it was sheer luck and an IRGC commander once said that "God sent it for us."
Huh, thanks for the perspective!
308 has horrible ballistics.
.30-06 any better?
Better than 308, yes. But still, shooting at something moving that fast, at that range, straight into the air, don't expect to hit anything except the neighborhood kids when the bullet comes back down.
