Ukraine's next weapon against Russian drones is this slightly odd tiny robot which fires nets into the air in all…

Ukraine develops ground robot firing nets against incoming FPV drone attacks
VORON combines drone interception with logistics and battlefield evacuation capabilities effectively
Net launchers attempt physical drone captures instead of explosive aerial interceptions

Ukrainian firm SMART BIRDS has introduced an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) called VORON, built specifically to intercept first-person view drones from multiple directions simultaneously.

The system relies on Pavuk net launchers, a defensive mechanism designed to trap incoming drones before they reach their intended target.

The system was unveiled during a closed demonstration organized by the Technological Forces of Ukraine.

Net-launching system functions for drone capture

Each VORON platform can carry up to eight net launcher modules, allowing coverage against threats approaching from any angle around the vehicle.

The system engages targets at distances reaching 45 meters, with nets fully deploying after traveling 5 meters and forming a defensive radius of 5 meters.

Every two-barrel module weighs...

Prompt injection isn't the bug, AI agent frameworks are

Nearly a dozen flaws, some critical, in major AI agent frameworks that enterprises use to build apps reveal a security failure that extends beyond prompt injection - or any single model - according to Check Point researchers. “Our research shows a deeper failure: in many agentic frameworks, prompt-controlled content can
