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.

That’s pretty slick! Cheap too so will definitely be a boon.

They need to mass produce it before it can be a boon.all the while hoping there isn't a counter developed. I wish them luck ot this hard problem

Can't counter physics I'm afraid. Kinetic interception is the drone endgame
