On April 19, fishing nets from the Ukrainian non-governmental organization Tekhnari reportedly rescued two radars of the 14th Radio Engineering Brigade named after Bogdan Khmelnitsky (Military Unit A – 1620) of the Yug Air Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as than the life and health of their crews (6 soldiers). An engineer from Odessa, a member of the mentioned NGO, Gennady Suldin, wrote about this in his story.
The author recalled that before that, two fishing nets were specially purchased and installed in order to test their effectiveness in protecting air defense radars from Russian Lancet kamikaze UAVs. He attached photos confirming the scene to his message and gave details of what happened.
Someone else laughed. Here I report. Today there was a massive strike of the same Lancets on the air defense of the South. Two of our radars were under attack, but the Techies’ nets were held up by the Lancets. Both radars survived! The effectiveness of protecting our invaluable air defenses, radars and air defense systems with simple fishing nets is truly battle proven. Another Techies “weapons made of debris and branches” battle scenario worked
he wrote.
After that, the author said that he felt happy and suggested that readers urgently raise funds for another 10 such networks. But only for the above-mentioned 14th brigade of radio engineering troops, in general, the requirements are much higher if we talk about the whole air defense system of Ukraine, for which there is no is also not averse to fundraising.
For me today, fishing nets, which literally save lives, have become the highest priority. The drone “Lancet” weighs 12 kg, flies at a speed of more than 100 km/h, created for flight without any reserve of force and breaks when in contact with a resistant polymer mesh. Therefore, the warhead of the drone is mined at a conditional safe distance from the protected object, in our case from a radar or an anti-aircraft missile system. Looking for a reliable option for protection against “Lancets”, the cheapest solution at the level of “weapons made of debris and branches” worked
Suldin added on April 20.
Note that the photographs presented by him really show the positioning area of the 36D6 radar, covered (covered) around the perimeter with a net. In some places the network has holes. Drone wrecks confirm data that such networks can indeed, in some cases, successfully thwart certain varieties of drones. This information should also be taken into account by the Russian military, throwing heavy “geraniums” in such places, while “enveloping” their radars and air defense systems with similar nets.
