Ukraine will install anti-drone nets along 4,000 kilometers of roads by the end of the year, to protect supply routes and civil infrastructure.

The Ukrainian Minister of Defense, Mykhailo Fedorov, announced that Ukraine will accelerate the installation of anti-drone nets above the roads near the front line, aiming to cover 4,000 kilometers of roads by the end of the year.

This effort comes in response to Russian drone attacks targeting the supply routes of the Ukrainian army and civilian infrastructure. Fedorov mentioned that 1.6 billion hryvnias (approximately 37 million dollars) have been allocated for protective measures against drones.

The installation of the anti-drone net has significantly increased, from 5 km per day in January to 12 km in February, and in March it is expected to cover 20 km per day. Additionally, Ukraine will intensify the construction of fortifications in the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions, at the border with Russia.
