According to the report, over the 39 months of war, more than a hundred thousand drones have filled the skies above the multi-kilometer front line in Ukraine. At the same time, drones of different models and price categories can be seen on the battlefield. In 2024, interceptor drones began to appear along the front line, and already this year Ukraine began to equip its drones with an anti-drone net , Forbes reports.On May 14, the first footage of a drone protected from interceptors by such a net appeared online. The first such nets began to appear on Russian armored vehicles back in 2022, when the Ukrainian Armed Forces began to actively attack the enemy using drones. Soon, tiny drones became the main threat to all armored vehicles and artillery. Cages, nets, and chains have become standard on ground vehicles on both sides.
The report also stated that the Ukrainian and Russian Armed Forces have also deployed drone-catching nets along the most vulnerable routes on the front lines. Since 2024, both sides in the conflict have been racking their brains over how to counter interceptor drones. It's a tough job for interceptor operators. The drones are small and nimble, and can be hard to spot. "It's very, very difficult to aim, to get visual contact with the target," said David Hambling, a Canadian who now fights for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, once the interceptor has locked onto the drone, the kill rate is 75%. Some Russian drones have rearview cameras and automated systems that initiate evasive maneuvers. But most target drones are vulnerable to ramming from above or behind. Ukrainian forces have tested an anti-drone cage on a Mavic that carries a payload weighing hundreds of kilograms.
In addition to the report, the metal grill you can use to smoke your barbecue weighs (you guessed it) several hundred grams. The Mavic may be able to defend itself to some extent, but it won't be able to perform a reconnaissance or attack mission at the same time. If the rapid evolution of ground vehicle frames is any indication, airborne armor will evolve quickly with better fits and lighter materials. If the swift evolution of cope cages for ground vehicles is any indication, the aerial armor will evolve fast, however—with better fits and lighter materials. Don’t be surprised to see more drones take to the air over Ukraine with anti-drone cages.
Definitely new world of battle technology, with incredible innovation, yet terrifying tool.
