💨 Abstract

In the Ukrainian city of Kostiantynivka, soldiers use an ancient fishing net strategy to defend against advanced Russian drone threats. This low-tech method helps protect troops from small explosive drones, but it is challenged by locals needing passage and skilled Russian drone operators. Residents face drone attacks, with recent casualties and ongoing evacuations. Ukrainian forces are stretched thin, with commanders reporting critical personnel shortages and relentless Russian advances, aiming to control eastern Ukraine.
