With ever-increasing range, light drones pose a threat to soldiers and civilians alike anywhere near the front line in Ukraine. They can act as kamikaze weapons on their own or drop small bombs and mines. At least 200 civilians were killed in such attacks in the southern city of Kherson alone. To help defend against them, authorities in several Ukrainian regions have begun installing nets to protect roads and buildings. It turns out that regular fishing nets do the job just fine – and French fishermen are leading the effort to get them.
