Ukraine’s low-tech shield: Fishing nets turned into Drone defense against UAVs
Published on Dec 19, 2025 11:01 am IST
As Russian FPV and fiber-optic drones tighten their grip on Ukraine’s skies, Kyiv is being forced into a starkly low-tech defensive improvisation. Viral visuals from southern and eastern Ukraine show roads and buildings draped in fishing nets and mesh tunnels—an emergency shield against deadly drone strikes. With advanced air-defence systems stretched thin and military aid delayed, Ukraine is repurposing discarded deep-sea fishing nets sent by European charities to protect civilians and military convoys. The tactic underscores both Ukraine’s adaptability and the growing pressure of a war where billion-dollar technology is being countered with hand-me-down nets.
