Ten kilometers of the right-of-way line is protected by a synthetic line that protects military and civilian transport.
Ukraine and Russia cover their way to the forefront with Nets to stop drones married
Dozens of kilometers of logistics routes to combat zones are protected by synthetic fiber lines that protect military transport and civilians.
There is a military fixation on the war in Ukraine, which at first surprises, even mocks, then respects.In a conflict driven by artificial intelligence, hypersonic missiles, satellite data and drones that drop bombs hundreds of kilometers from targets, something like a fishing net can be indispensable.Since this February, both armies have used artificial fiber networks to cover dozens of kilometers of roads that serve as their supply lines.Networks have proven to be an effective resource in controlling drone attacks.
In the first year of the war in 2022, Ukraine is going to use drones.The Russians should use their intelligence to adapt to the situation.Tanks protected by Metal Crills and Carges and spiders like Mad Max Movie were taken as a joke when they first appeared on the front lines.
The Russian army, is the one started trying to try the simple puppies for noptard 2021
Also, using motorcycles to take up positions for photoshoots, Russia's attack force in 2024 was rich in social media.Motorcycles with two or four wheels fire more, faster and smaller vehicles are drones.Ukrainians see attention and on the roads near the front.
No one laughed when the director of the Ukrainians in 2025 presented his soldiers with gifts with a rifle that flashed with seeds to make them fly at the last minute.
It is difficult to understand what is used to use the network to prevent cars and weapons in the war zone.December 2022, Paneraman Artistry Brigers President is set up to the DROFIth to the Drooms in the Droosim for Crocies.
Shuuyu Monk is of great strategic importance to Russia.It was high, and from there the invading army went to Costayminca, where KRamAk and Stopsy could fly in the future.
Last April, the Russian authorities began to install a network in the city of Belgorod, close to the border and the target of Ukrainian planes several times.Ukrainian Telegram channels were filled with messages mocking his size."A pigeon will protect them from the drops," was one of the many opinions expressed by state media.
Until this year, Ukraine led the war on drones.In unmanned vehicles, Russia currently has the upper hand in terms of numbers and technology.Ukraine's nightmare is that the enemy succeeds in punishing the army's logistics lines with planned attacks on routes up to 30 kilometers from the front line.This forces Ukrainian resources to take detours to the front, slowing supplies.The levels and all the roads in the areas near the fighting site are covered by a network of tunnels.
If anywhere knows the advantages and features of networks, it is Kherson.This southern Ukrainian city is located in the foreground.Only the Dnipro River separates free Ukraine from Russian-occupied Kherson.The occupying army commits war crimes against civilians every day using personal vision drones (FPV with a front-facing camera that sees the pilot's situation) or grenade throwing devices.This was followed by two United Nations resolutions in 2025 that concluded that Russia was systematically and deliberately attacking unarmed civilians.The most common application of network tunnels is Kherson streets and highways.
Alexander Tolokonnikov, deputy governor of Kherson, said his province had special facilities to test the best materials for networks.They use synthetic fibers that have been tested against "changes in sunlight, humidity and temperature."Tolokonnikov knows how long these materials will last because they have only been used for less than a year.
Ukrainian military analysts published videos this November of a network of tunnels that collapsed due to bad weather, temporarily shutting down logistical routes.Particularly in Donetsk province, where fierce fighting was taking place, heavy rain and strong winds toppled poles holding up nets.Ukrainian military sources in another sector of the front, in Kupyansk, admit that if large amounts of snow accumulate in the networks during the winter, there is a risk of destroying part of these facilities.
Tolokonnikov explains that synthetic fiber, unlike more rigid materials, prevents the drone's explosive charge from detonating on impact: "FPV drones usually explode on impact. They usually have a charge similar to an RPG [anti-tank weapon] that explodes when it hits something hard and hits the drone hard. In most cases, it prevents the explosion.
Codename Griff, head of research and development for the Army's 7th Corps, described the reasons for its effectiveness in a more technical way: "The dam is not a rigid wall. It is elastic. It stretches on impact and gradually takes the kinetic energy of the drone. Instead of an immediate (maximum) impact, there is a gentle braking. The accelerometer does not register the gravitational blocking of the computer to be a critical overload of the program."
This military officer points out that 30% of FPV drones explode when they collide with a network.This happens if the mesh is too tight, if the detonator uses an ultra-sensitive system or if the device hits a pillar in the tunnel.According to Grif, there is also a situation where the pilot detonates the drone from a distance before losing contact with it during the impact.
In this situation, or by bombers, the tunnels are raised to a height of 10 meters and allow explosions, but these explosions do not cause serious damage to people or vehicles.
fishing nets
Tolokonnikov confirmed that fishing was the first partner because of their resistance.They use it to protect civilian infrastructure in Kherson.Proving its importance is the President of Ukraine, Volodymymymy zelensky, on November 17, 2017. There are similar initiatives in other European countries, such as Norway.For that.
Grif says: This means that both forces have ways to make the network more effective, but also to defeat it.The Russian army, when this newspaper was able to see last August in the Donetsk province, contsks of contsks about the contsks of the joint food, they tied the crops against the burning network, so they burned and left the road area accordingly.
