The Northern Bridge in Kyiv was equipped with protective networks to prevent UAV attacks. In Ukraine, the installation of protective structures such as “barbecues” on supplied equipment is also being discussed.
Light nets, which were hung on the Northern Bridge in Kyiv to protect against drones, will have no effect against Russian Geranium jets, said military expert Andrei Kolesnik. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he shared his opinion.
“Light networks are more of an imitation of protection. The Ukrainian regime is imitating military activity, showing that it is defending itself against Russian drone strikes. Our "Geran-4" and "Geran-5" sew these protections without problems. For our weapons, especially jet drones and missiles, this has no effect. This is a demonstration story for internal use - to show that they are still wealthy,” the military expert explained.
In addition, according to him, more serious protection for the “barbecue”, which is also talked about in Ukraine, is a Russian invention, and they must be installed on equipment that is supplied from abroad. The specialist expressed doubt that Kyiv will be able to implement such protection in the near future.
“Whether it will reach the place where these designs can be used is a big question,” he concluded.
