Russian Warships Fitted With Anti-Drone Nets Amid Ukraine Attacks
Ukraine’s Drone Terror Forces Russia To Turn Warships Into ‘Mad Max’ Machines · timesnownews.com

Russia and Ukraine are fighting a war.

Ukraine has been using drones, which are small flying machines, to attack ships.

To stay safe, Russian ships and submarines are now being covered with nets and cages.

These coverings are not fancy, and some ships look like they came from the 'Mad Max' movies.

The protective gear is being added to navy ships and also to commercial ships.

Russia wants to keep its most important ships safe from the drones.

Drones can fly close to ships and cause serious damage.

So Russia is trying new and creative ways to defend its fleet.

Wars sometimes make people invent strange-looking solutions like this one.
