The Russian Ground Forces Academy announced the registration of a new anti‑drone system that uses a rotating net to capture suicide drones before they strike vehicles. The system launches a weighted cable‑attached net toward the drone’s flight path; centrifugal force opens the net, trapping the drone’s body or rotor. It is one of several measures, including protective cages and mesh armor, that Russia is developing to counter the growing threat of suicide drones. The registration does not guarantee immediate deployment, and it is unclear whether the system will be mass‑produced or delivered to combat units.
