Meanwhile, Pavlovskyi had been working on a far simpler device. Initially, he dismissed it as unpromising, but this cost-effective device is now in use against Russian reconnaissance and FPV drones as well as ambush UAVs – those the Russians leave on standby along roads, waiting for targets.

The product, called Aero Trawl, does more than shoot down Russian UAVs – it enables their capture and transfer to Ukrainian intelligence.

It’s a net. They zip tie a net to a drone. It costs about $18.50.

There's a similar niche of products that shoot nets down below. That way you can carry several charges but can't transport captured drones, unless you've got someone on the ground.
