Designers at the Military Engineering Academy have developed a new protection system for armored vehicles, proposing to cover tanks and infantry fighting vehicles with net “tunnels” directly along their route. The collapsible structure can be deployed along roads, providing reliable protection against drones.
The developers suggest installing supports along the edges of the route with nets and cables stretched over them. This scheme is intended to intercept drones attacking equipment from the upper hemisphere – one of the most vulnerable directions.
The main feature of the project is its mobility. The structure can be quickly deployed, dismantled, and transported to new areas. Damaged sections are replaced individually, without dismantling the entire system.
Essentially, this involves creating temporary “anti-drone tunnels” that form a protected corridor for moving convoys. The VIA documentation states that the system should protect not only tanks but also engineering and auxiliary equipment.
The main tanks in the Russian Ground Forces are the T-90M, T-72B3M, and T-80BVM. In addition to anti-drone corridors, each combat vehicle is additionally covered with “mangals” and dynamic protection kits.
