Russians are trying to protect themselves from attacks by Ukrainian drones by using anti-drone corridors. Andrii Demchenko, a spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, said where they are most common.

"Most of them (anti-drone corridors - ed.) are recorded by border guards within the Kursk region, in particular in the area where Russians continue their actions, attacking the Ukrainian Defense Forces, which are conducting their operation within the Kursk region," he said.

As Demchenko explained, these corridors are paths that Russian covers with nets so that equipment can move there and Ukrainian drones cannot hit it.

Anti-drone corridors in Kursk region

Earlier, RBC-Ukraine has already written about the arrangement of anti-drone corridors by the Russian occupiers in the Kursk region.

Interestingly, Demchenko said then that Ukrainian soldiers continue to destroy equipment that moves through such corridors. They managed to find "weaknesses" and attack them.

In February, it was reported that similar anti-drone corridors were being set up by the Russian military on the roads from Bakhmut to Chasiv Yar.

There, such tunnels were about two kilometers long. However, even there, such corridors did not have the protective effect that was expected.
