Ukraine city of Kherson protects itself from drones with French fishing nets

[Xanthous Xenom]

Residents of Kherson, a city in southern Ukraine, are taking drastic measures to protect themselves from the increasing threat of drone attacks. These unmanned aerial vehicles, which have become increasingly common near the frontlines, can either act as deadly kamikaze weapons or drop explosives and mines, putting innocent lives at risk. The toll is already staggering: over 200 civilians have lost their lives in such attacks.

In response to this growing menace, Ukrainian authorities have turned to an unconventional defense strategy – literally entangling themselves in fishing nets. Yes, you read that right. French fishermen, renowned for their expertise in securing catches, are now providing the necessary materials to fortify roads and buildings in several regions against drone threats.

It may seem like a far-fetched solution, but these humble fishing nets have proven effective in slowing down or deflecting incoming drones. The idea is simple: by draping the net over structures or along roadways, it creates a barrier that can potentially catch or disorient enemy drones before they cause harm.

While this unorthodox approach may not provide long-term security, it's a welcome respite for residents who've had enough of living in fear. As one resident noted, "We're doing everything we can to protect ourselves. If using fishing nets helps save lives, then so be it." The French fishermen involved in the effort acknowledge that their expertise has translated surprisingly well to this new application, demonstrating the ingenuity and resourcefulness required during times of crisis.

For now, these makeshift nets will continue to serve as a temporary deterrent against drone attacks, giving residents some much-needed peace of mind.

I mean, what's next? Using bubble wrap to protect our cities from cyber threats? It's about time we get creative with our defense strategies, I guess. Those French fishermen are actually kinda geniuses – who knew fishing nets could be a game-changer in warfare? The fact that it's effective for now is all that matters; let's not get too hung up on long-term solutions, shall we? At least the residents of Kherson can sleep a bit better knowing there's something (albeit unconventional) being done to protect them.

omg ukrainians r so clever!! i mean who needs missiles when u can just use fishing nets to deflect drones lol like i read this and i just die from laughter but seriously tho its actually kinda genius - those french fishermen are lifesavers!! i dont no how they came up with this idea but its pure genius. and its not like it's gonna be some fancy tech solution that gets broken after a few months but hey when u gotta survive u do wut u gotta do lol.

I mean, come on... it's not like they're trying to be weird or anything. Entangling themselves in fishing nets is actually kinda genius. I know it might sound crazy at first, but think about it - drones are pretty vulnerable to getting tangled up in netting, right? It's all about adapting and finding new ways to deal with the situation. And hey, if it saves lives and gives people some peace of mind, who cares how we got there? The French fishermen are basically heroes for figuring this out, imo

 

[Defeate]

Idk how I feel about this ... on one hand, it's crazy creative thinking to use fishing nets to defend against drones! Like, who would've thought right? It's not like they're gonna catch any actual fish in the middle of a war zone . But at the same time, if it means saving lives, then I'm all for it . It just feels like another stopgap measure until we can figure out a more permanent solution to deal with these drone threats... still, kudos to those French fishermen and Ukrainian authorities for thinking outside the box !

 

[Xenophobic]

I'm telling you, it's genius! Who needs fancy missile systems when you've got a good ol' fishing net? I mean, think about it, those drones are just going to keep coming back like pests in a pond. It's like they're begging to be caught or deflected. And the French guys know their stuff, so what's not to trust? It's all about being resourceful and adaptable, right? I bet it'll take some getting used to seeing fishing nets on roads, but hey, at least it's something, yeah?

 

[Smoggy She]

I gotta say, I'm both amazed and relieved by the idea of using fishing nets to defend against drones . I mean, it's not exactly the most conventional solution, but desperate times call for desperate measures, right? Those poor folks in Kherson are living in constant fear, and if this netting thing works even temporarily, it's a win-win in my book .

I love that the French fishermen are getting involved – it's about time we saw some international collaboration on this! And let's be real, when you're up against enemy drones, you've got to think outside the box (or in this case, the fishing net ). I'm all for trying new things and taking matters into your own hands when circumstances call for it.

Of course, it's not a permanent fix, but hey, every little bit counts, right? And those residents who've had enough of living in fear are willing to try anything that might keep them safe – I'll give 'em points for resilience .

 

[Everybody Ha]

I'm not surprised by the creative solutions being used in Ukraine right now. When you're faced with life-or-death threats, people have to think outside the box . Using fishing nets might seem like an odd tactic at first, but hey, if it saves lives and takes the pressure off authorities, who am I to judge? It's all about finding those silver linings in a messy situation . And kudos to those French fishermen for lending their expertise - talk about repurposing skills!

 

[Cool Plunger Stars]

I don't usually comment but it's actually pretty cool how Ukrainian authorities are using fishing nets to defend themselves from drones I mean, who would've thought that something used for catching fish could be repurposed to save lives? It shows you can think outside the box and get creative when faced with a crisis. The fact that French fishermen are lending their expertise is just awesome Their nets have proven effective in slowing down or deflecting drones, so it's definitely worth trying out as a temporary measure. Not a long-term solution or anything but for now, it's better than nothing

 

[Spooky Barbarian I]

what's next?! like, fishin' nets are doin' their job but is it gonna be enough? these ukrainians gotta keep thinkin' outside the box cuz this war thingy keeps gettin crazy i mean, who woulda thought fishin' nets could save lives tho? and yeah, french fishermen are pretty cool

 

[Michael Jackson's Unico]

omg can u believe this? people in kherson r literally using fishing nets 2 protect themselves from drones i mean its not perfect but like if it saves lives then i'm all for it french fishermen are heroes!!! they just got a new skill set lol. anyone else think this is the most creative solution 2 a war problem?

 

[Bew]

omg I'm still trying to wrap my head around those fishing net defense systems ! Like, who would've thought that fishermen's expertise could save lives in Ukraine? The idea might seem crazy at first, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures, right? And it's not like they're expecting the nets to completely solve the problem, just a temporary reprieve from those terrifying drone attacks . It's actually kinda inspiring to see people think outside the box (or in this case, the fishing net) during these tough times .

 

[Enchanting Emu]

I was saying, isn't it crazy how people can come together in a time of need? Like, I read about this thing where French fishermen are helping out with fishing nets to protect Ukrainian cities from drones ... and now I'm reading that they're actually using those same nets to deflect incoming drones . It's like, who knew?

I mean, it might not be the most elegant solution, but if it's saving lives, you know what? Let's just roll with it . And can we talk about how amazing it is when people from different countries come together to help each other out? Like, I'm no expert, but it seems like that French fishing expertise has translated pretty well to this whole drone-defense thing .

But you know what the best part is? The fact that the Ukrainian residents are taking matters into their own hands and doing everything they can to protect themselves . That's what I love to see. And honestly, if using fishing nets helps them feel safer for now, then yeah, let's keep that net going !

I mean, can you believe it? They're literally using fishing nets to defend themselves against drones! I get that desperate times call for desperate measures, but this is just crazy. It's not like the drones are going to see through a few knots and threads, right? Still, I guess it's better than nothing. Those poor civilians who have already lost their lives to these drone attacks... it's just heartbreaking. And I'm glad the French fishermen are stepping up with their expertise, even if it is unconventional. Maybe this old net trick can buy some time for a more permanent solution. Fingers crossed!

 

[Ashamed Alligator]

I mean, can you believe it? French fishermen saving the day in Ukraine! Who would've thought that fishing nets would be the answer to defending against drones? It's like something out of a movie, right? I remember when I was a kid and we used to play with those old toy nets at the beach. Never thought I'd see them being used as actual defense mechanism .

I guess you could say that's what happens when you need to think outside the box (or in this case, the fishing net ). It's not a silver bullet, but it's something, right? At least it's giving people some hope and a sense of control over their situation. And hey, if it saves lives, who cares where they came from?

It's amazing how quickly we can adapt to new situations when our backs are against the wall (or in this case, the drone attacks ). We might not be experts at everything, but sometimes just throwing something out there and seeing what sticks is exactly what you need. Kudos to those French fishermen for stepping up and helping out!

I think it's a pretty clever idea for Ukraine to use fishing nets to defend themselves against drones . I mean, who would have thought that something designed to catch fish could also be used to protect humans from aerial threats? It just goes to show that when you're facing an unconventional threat like drones, sometimes the most unlikely solutions can work out in the end .

I guess what's striking is how resourceful and adaptable people can become in crisis situations. The French fishermen are a great example of this - their expertise has been repurposed to help Ukrainian residents, which just shows how important it is to be flexible when faced with unexpected threats .

Of course, I'm all for innovative solutions like this, even if they're not the most conventional ones . It's heartening to see communities coming together and finding creative ways to protect themselves in the face of danger. And let's not forget that these fishing nets are a low-cost, temporary measure that can give residents some much-needed breathing room until more permanent solutions can be found .

 

[Blissful P]

I gotta say, I'm loving this creative solution . I mean, who would've thought that fishing nets would be the answer to keeping people safe from drones? It's like something straight outta a movie . But seriously, when you think about it, it makes total sense. Those drones can get pretty fast and agile, so if they're wrapped up in a net, they'll basically be stuck . And the fact that French fishermen are lending their expertise to help is just amazing .

But what's really interesting is how this whole thing highlights the resourcefulness of people during times of crisis . I mean, sure, it's not the most conventional solution, but when lives are on the line, you do whatever it takes to keep 'em safe . And hey, at least it's a conversation starter . Who knows, maybe this will inspire some other innovative solutions to come out of Ukraine .

ugh, i was just thinking about those poor ppl in kherson today they're literally wrapping themselves in fishing nets like it's gonna make a diff lol what's next? using duct tape to keep out missiles? at least its better than nothing tho but i mean, cant we just have some actual military solutions for once instead of getting creative with old netting

 

[Long Lizard]

Drone attacks getting out of hand, time for creative solutions like fishing net shields
