Anti-drone meshes (commonly nicknamed "barbecues" or "mangals" in Russian and Ukrainian or "cope cages" in English) refer to metal lattices that surround ground military vehicles to provide additional protection from drone strikes, a practice which became widespread during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Such protection uses a spaced armour approach, and is designed to induce the premature detonation or malfunction of incoming munitions.
