The first tunnel has already been completed, three more are 60% ready.

The neutralization was carried out by sappers, which once again confirmed the effectiveness of the new protection.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"shortcode-wide-image\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/333.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p> Anti-drone tunnels work simply: the nets create a physical and visual barrier, which can delay drone operators and cause propellers to get stuck. They are installed over roads, dugout entrances, and even trenches to minimize the risk of direct hits or debris.<\/p>\n<p> The military emphasizes that this is not universal protection, but an important additional tool that should be scaled up to other areas of the front.<\/p>\n<p> It was previously reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/v-odniy-z-oblastey-ukrainy-vstanovliat-antydronovi-sitky-iak-tse-pratsiuvatyme\/\">roads in border communities of Sumy region will be closed with anti-drone nets<\/a> to complicate enemy aerial reconnaissance and protect logistics.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The construction of the first anti-drone tunnel has been completed in Zaporizhia region.
