Intelligence summary

A gas station in Kharkiv hangs plastic strip curtains from the pump canopy as anti-drone protection. Cars drive through them like a warehouse entrance. The idea is to detangle or prematurely detonate low-flying FPV drones before they hit the pumps. Russian FPVs have been systematically destroying Ukrainian petrol stations through summer 2026.
