Ukraine makes anti-drone road nets a national standard

In a new strategy for defensive lines through 2028, Ukraine is making anti-drone nets over roads a national standard. Such nets already cover more than 1,000 kilometers of road.

Ukraine has made anti-drone road nets a national standard in its new strategy for defensive lines covering the period through 2028, Euromaidan Press reports. The nets, which shield traffic from drone attacks, have already been strung over more than 1,000 kilometers of road.

Why the nets are needed

FPV drones, which operators fly using a live video feed from the drone's camera, hunt anything that moves near the front. For that reason Kyiv is now codifying these protection solutions as an official standard.

What it means

Standardization means that installing the nets is no longer left to individual units or local initiatives, but becomes part of a nationwide approach to building defensive lines. The information in the source is limited, and it does not specify technical requirements, costs or particular road sections.
