According to some reports, even if these anti-UAV nets do not provide absolute protection, they can still complicate the operations of Ukrainian FPV drone operators, and increase the cost of drone strikes per target. Photo: @ВПК.name

Earlier this year, Ukrainian defense intelligence reportedly obtained classified information regarding another nuclear submarine, the 955A Borey-A class K-555 Knyaz Pozharsky, further highlighting the weakness of Russia's nuclear forces. Photo: @ВПК.name.

In February 2025, Russia also installed an anti-drone net covering more than two kilometers to protect the supply route from Bakhmut to Chasiv Yar in Donetsk. Photo: @UNITED24 Media.

These nets are also effective against fiber-optic-guided drones, while smaller nets help block ammunition and mines dropped by drones. Photo: @UNITED24 Media.
