    Many drone bombs are designed to detonate on impact. The nets catch the drones and prevent them from exploding. It’s been utilized to good effect in Ukraine.

      Drones can also drop mortar shells and there are already plenty of mortar shells with timed fuses. Then the drone can just drop the shell and have it land on the net and detonate above your head, blasting you with shrapnel.

      Nets aren’t going to be a viable long term defence.
