Ukraine has made anti-drone road nets a national standard in a new defensive strategy through 2028, according to the Defense Ministry. The country has already installed over 1,066 kilometers of this protective netting by mid-July, with an aim to expand it to 4,000 kilometers by the end of 2026. These measures include overhead netting, wire-mesh canopies and reinforced barriers designed to intercept Russian FPV drones that can operate within a 15-30 kilometer radius of the frontlines.

The government plans to manage this extensive network via a single digital geographic information platform, incorporating existing systems like the DELTA situational-awareness system. This platform will maintain records, monitor the condition of defensive lines, and help allocate resources efficiently. The strategy also encompasses fortification building, engineering obstacles, modern anti-drone designs, reserve materials, and digital record-keeping, all aimed at safeguarding military personnel and civilians.
