How do Dutch tulip nets work?
Asked 3 hours ago
Answer
Dutch tulip nets are strong, nearly unbreakable agricultural nets originally used to propagate tulip bulbs in the Netherlands. After use, especially if damaged, these nets are repurposed and sent to Ukraine, where they serve as protective barriers against drone attacks. The nets slow down drones, providing crucial reaction time and increasing safety for civilians and soldiers.
