Nets that Protect Against Drones

Nets that Protect Against Drones

Dec 4, 2025 | 0 comments

One day this spring we were driving to deliver a car to one of the military units north of Kharkiv with which we work. At the checkpoint the guard commented about the exposure of this checkpoint to enemy drone attacks. The frontline is not far so the attacks are very frequent. This means that civilians driving through there are exposed. Indeed, as we were able to see the traffic on this checkpoint is very heavy and in the past the checkpoint was hit several times, with people wounded and cars damaged. We got the contact of the unit at this checkpoint and soon our car was loaded with 300 m2 of anti-drone nets to protect this checkpoint. (photo above)

Now nothing can get through from the sky above this checkpoint which is a big relief for the soldiers who do the checking and for the civilians who live (try to live) in this area.

Her article was published by Project Syndicate and was picked up by many newspapers around the world. There is a free access via this link.

The article also explores protective measures against FPVs, including radio-jamming devices and drone detectors.
