Terminator T-1000 – the early years

Why Russia’s new anti-drone net is second-to-none

The newly developed T-1000 net is capable of self-sealing holes after an explosion, Dmitry Dorofeev, CEO of Mechanical Protection Systems, tells Sputnik.

What’s so remarkable about the new net?

Its unique Z-shaped cells don’t tear apart when an enemy drone detonates.

They cleverly “slide” and shift, allowing neighboring cells to partially close the hole

“This feature reduces the breach area by up to 50%, making it much harder for follow-up drones to use the same gap”

Supplied as a single ready-to-install lightweight net, the Darwin-Z can be quickly mounted on virtually any support—from metal frames to wooden stakes

This is a sea change from fishing nets to tackle drones, which tear easily and are difficult to install.
