Old Deep-Sea Nets from French Coast Become Vital Protection Against Enemy Drones in Ukraine
On the coastal quaysides of French fishing ports, stacks of used fishing gear have become a regular occurrence.
The lifespan of marine harvesting nets generally extends between one to two years, after which they become damaged and unusable.
Presently, this horsehair netting, originally designed for harvesting ocean species from the sea bed, is serving alternative functions for an unexpected target: enemy unmanned aircraft.
Charitable Effort Repurposes Fishing Byproducts
A French humanitarian organization has transported two deliveries of nets totaling 280 kilometers to the conflict zone to safeguard soldiers and civilians along the combat zone where fighting is fiercest.
Russian forces use inexpensive unmanned aircraft fitted with explosives, directing them by radio command for spans of up to 25km.
"Over the last two years, the war has mutated. Before we didn't even think about drones, but now it's a unmanned vehicle battle," commented a humanitarian organizer.
Tactical Implementation of Fishing Nets
Defense units use the nets to establish corridors where drone propellers become entangled. This technique has been likened to web-building predators trapping prey in a net.
"Military representatives explained they cannot use any old nets. They received multiple that are of no use," the coordinator explained.
"The materials we provide are made of horse hair and used for deep-sea fishing to catch powerful sea creatures which are quite powerful and hit the nets with a force similar to that of a drone."
Growing Uses
At first employed by doctors protecting medical camps near the combat zone, the nets are now being used on thoroughfares, overpasses, the entrances to hospitals.
"It's remarkable that such basic material functions so efficiently," remarked the charity president.
"We face no shortage of marine gear in this region. It creates difficulty to know where to send them as multiple companies that repurpose the gear have ceased operations."
Logistical Difficulties
The aid association was created after community members sought help from the leaders requesting support for clothing, food and medical supplies for their homeland.
A team of helpers have delivered two vehicle loads of aid 2,300 kilometers to the Polish-Ukrainian frontier.
"When we learned that Ukraine required mesh material, the fishing community responded immediately," commented the humanitarian coordinator.
Drone Warfare Development
The enemy utilizes FPV unmanned aircraft similar to those on the consumer sector that can be piloted by wireless command and are then loaded with combat charges.
Russian pilots with live camera streams steer them to their destinations. In certain regions, military personnel report that nothing can move without attracting the attention of clusters of "lethal" suicide aircraft.
Protective Tactics
The fishing nets are suspended from structures to establish protective passageways or used to conceal defensive positions and transport.
Friendly aerial vehicles are also outfitted with sections of mesh to drop on enemy drones.
During summer months, Ukraine was dealing with more than numerous aerial vehicles per day.
Global Support
Hundreds of tonnes of old nets have also been contributed by fishers in Scandinavian nations.
An ex-marine industry representative declared that regional fishermen are more than happy to support the defense cause.
"They are proud to know their discarded equipment is going to help save lives," he stated publicly.
Funding Limitations
The organization currently lacks the monetary means to transport further gear this year and discussions were underway for Ukraine to dispatch vehicles to retrieve the gear.
"We plan to support acquire the material and package them but we don't have the budget to continue managing shipments ourselves," stated the charity spokesperson.
Real-World Limitations
An armed services communicator stated that protective mesh corridors were being implemented across the eastern territory, about the majority of which is now stated as captured and administered by Russian forces.
She explained that hostile aircraft operators were continuously developing ways to penetrate the mesh.
"Protective material cannot serve as a complete solution. They are just a particular aspect of protection against drones," she emphasized.
A retired market garden trader expressed that the people he interacted with were moved by the help from maritime regions.
"The reality that those in the coastal economy the distant part of the continent are providing material to assist their protection efforts has brought a few tears to their eyes," he concluded.
