Such protection uses a spaced armour approach, and is designed to induce the premature detonation or malfunction of incoming munitions.

Several similar nets also appeared in September 2023 at Russian airfields after Ukrainian drone strikes to protect against them. In March 2024, a "barbecue" installed on a Delta IV-class nuclear submarine was spotted near Gadzhiyevo.
