Russian military protected a section of road near Chasovy Yar from Ukrainian Armed Forces FPV drones using a dense net

The Russian military has created a safe corridor for the transfer of military equipment by covering a section of the road near Chasovy Yar with a dense mesh. This protection prevents the enemy from using FPV-drones for strikes on equipment. This is reported by Russian resources.

Drums Drones, including kamikaze drones, have become very widespread during this conflict; today, only the mass use of relatively cheap FPV drones allows the Ukrainian Armed Forces to contain the advance of Russian troops amid a shortage of reserves. Small drones have become a real scourge for the equipment of both sides in the conflict, as evidenced by the destroyed vehicles along the roads. Equipment equipment EW-systems and so-called "barbecues" to some extent protect against kamikaze drones, but the emergence of versions with fiber-optic control makes electronic warfare systems useless.

Against this background, the idea of ​​the Russian military, who secured about 2 km of one of the most dangerous sections of the road near Chasovy Yar with a dense net, is worthy of respect. Enemy UAVs cannot attack Russian vehicles, which allows for the safe delivery of equipment and personnel to the front lines. And patching up a damaged section is easier and cheaper than repairing vehicles.

It is worth noting that the idea of ​​a stretched net to protect against drones is not new; back in 2023, the Russian military used this method to protect their positions in the Zaporizhia direction. Such protection will not protect against a direct hit, but it will significantly complicate the work of the drone operator.

""Such protection will not protect against a direct hit, but will significantly complicate the work of the drone operator.""

It is precisely from a direct hit that it saves.

[Uncle lee]

But patching up a damaged piece is still easier and cheaper than repairing cars.

That's for sure !

[novel66]

It is precisely from a direct hit that it saves.

Which makes the operator's job difficult.

[Mazunga]

as an option to make the operator's work more difficult, don't throw slippers))) neutron tactical ones, burn out the operators and fortifications and the flow of weapons would immediately drop to zero and the mouths would be shut up for a long time

[isv000]

The Russian soldier has always been distinguished by his resourcefulness, intelligence and quick wit!

[Orange Bigg]

The problem is that this is a very dubious defense. There is a very simple way to get past this defense. I will not voice it. But the Ukrainian Armed Forces have often used some devices in the past.

There will be "counter-methods" against such methods!

[kenig1]

I think local people know more than you.

[Alekseev]

The problem is that the use of drones, especially small FPV ones, and others, is a new stage in the development of weapons.
Like a machine gun in its time.
And a successful fight against UAVs can only be complex. Including various networks, they also help quite well, although, of course, you can’t catch all drones with networks alone.
We also need effective means of destruction, such as special small missiles, card and shrapnel ammunition, and fighter drones, and electronic warfare, not only jamming, but also disabling the "electronic stuffing", and shotgun shells for each soldier as the last line of defense, and means of reconnaissance and destruction of UAV control points.
But networks are also needed, among other things.

[Alexander]

And how to get past it? Something similar was used against aircraft in WW2!

[Andobor]

During the First World War, sections of roads were covered with rags so that artillery could not see them.

[Nikolaevich I]

Well done, guys! In principle, such an idea is not new, but it is good that the guys were not lazy! By the way, in "similar" cases the Americans go for much greater expenses! They "fence" the roads with a wall of concrete blocks and panels! If necessary, they can also make a blocking!

[Dutchman Michel]

Judging by the photo, it only helps against drones flying at low altitude. What about a slightly higher ceiling?

[Sergey3]

This is from the most common cheap and simple drones, and the sophisticated options should be handled by air defense.

[Huarabey]

There are nets stretched on top too. Not only on the sides.

[novel66]

There is a barbecue on top, and the side will be covered with a net

[Lemon]

The main thing is that, in the opinion of the fighters, it helps. They know better on the spot!

[rocket757]

A light but strong net can protect against light drones, that's a fact.
Another question is how to do it quickly and inexpensively, and you will also have to repair it regularly, eliminate the damage that will definitely occur.
In general, the problem must be solved, it must be done purposefully, centrally... anyway, protection will cost less than losses from drones.
In general, one of the protection options available at the moment.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Modern technologies allow you to install supports quickly and reliably. Now they install a flange foundation and then you can either install a steel support right away or screw a pipe under a wooden pole. And you can even stretch a cable on strong supports.
Or even a concrete foundation block is installed, and a loop is made in it for screwing and lifting the post.

[rocket757]

The large-mesh netting is not very heavy and has less windage, and a drone will not fly through a 200 x 200 mm hole.

Speaking of technology, doesn't the Engineering Machine for Excavation have a pile-drilling machine?
I think they showed on TV how they drilled and then stuck a log in there with a claw.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Most likely, that's what they did here. And that's the best way. But not everywhere have such machines at their disposal. And not everywhere does it make sense to risk such machines.
Somewhere it’s easier to throw down concrete blocks and screw logs to them.

[72jora72]

Any net helps, at one time we used regular fishing nets with walls 1,8-3 meters high, when it is stretched, drone operators practically do not see them.......

[fiberboard]

Both Finnish and Chinese. There are Chinese ones that are seven meters wide. It's high time to start producing them ourselves.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

So the legislators took care of this in advance, they banned not only fishing with nets, but also their circulation in the European part of the country. All that remains is to ban fishing line and make knots for tying it illegal.

[16112014nk]

When there is no fish, even a crayfish is a fish. So nets are better than nothing.

[Che Fedor]

I asked myself: why not a tunnel?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Concrete boxes will become tens of times more expensive, at a minimum.

[nepunamemuk]

and what will this net help against an artillery shell with a cluster warhead?

[novel66]

I'll say more - and it won't save you from the hymers.
Reading the title

from FPV drones

[Thrifty]

We need to more actively develop mass, cheap means of destroying drones, otherwise the troops will be standing in fields because of the threat from them!

[Snarkxnumx]

Close the dugout, trench, yes, this gives chances. The road? It is debatable, who prevents using Baba Yaga with a flamethrower or a rope with a cat, etc. And all the work is in vain. This is not a question for the military, but talented engineers, programmers should solve it. When accompanying a column, use a leading drone that scans the space, coordinates and guides anti-drones. Some anti-drones can be on equipment, some in the air.

[bukhach]

Maybe it's time to make drone carriers based on cars, similar to aircraft carriers, with a significant number of anti-drones to accompany convoys.

[Idle_piston]

As they say in the classic Russian movie, "if you want to live, you'll do better than that", but seriously, what would advanced Russian military science say about this, if it still exists?

[cmax]

The idea is good, but the question is, where is our "unparalleled" electronic warfare? The question is of course rhetorical (in the same place as the rest of the modern weapons)!

[tank64rus]

It is necessary to make prefabricated shelters with standard frames and install them with gaps in certain areas on the roadsides, plus aerial mining with MONs from drones. Engineers have all this. And most importantly, our military engineers have always been the best in the world. Plus, chemists could help with smoke. The SVO has shown a new type of warfare and it is necessary to rebuild the protection of communications and supplies taking this into account. One thing is depressing, and where are those who should do this on an industrial scale.

It is worth noting that the idea of ​​a stretched net to protect against drones is not new; back in 2023, the Russian military used this method to protect its positions in the Zaporizhia direction.

Musicians actively used nets in Soledar and Artemovsk, placing them both along and hanging them on poles across the route over certain sections so that FPV could not enter the target, then it turned out that the standard RPG and mine detonators do not work on nylon fishing nets.
