Ukraine’s DIY tank armor is so effective, even China and Russia are copying it, a flexible protective net that shields armored vehicles from drones dropping explosives

Ukraine’s original “hood” system, widely used across the Armed Forces, is noted for its simplicity. It typically consists of a collapsible frame with several beams that can be opened or closed manually. The design gained recognition on the battlefield for its ability to mitigate the impact of first-person-view (FPV) drones and loitering munitions.

Russia acknowledged the effectiveness of the Ukrainian system, with assessments claiming it was one and a half times more reliable than their own counter-drone measures, before proceeding to copy the idea for its T-72 and T-80 tanks.
