Details: Ptashka Drones said soldiers from the 3 rd Separate Assault Brigade used a drone-mounted net launcher against the Russian soldier. They initially attempted to strike him with an FPV drone but missed. Another drone then dropped a net on the soldier, trapping him.
The company said the Russian soldier was unable to free himself from the net and was later killed by soldiers from the 3 rd Assault Brigade using FPV drones.
The Ptashka net launcher is a reusable weapon against FPV drones. It comes with several net cartridges, each costing between US$27 and US$33. The company has developed interception systems for both FPV drones and reconnaissance UAVs such as the Mavic, Autel and Matrix.
The nets designed to intercept FPV drones measure 3. 7 × 3. 7 m, and the recommended firing distance is 1-10 m. A drone equipped with a net launcher Photo: Ptashka Drones
