Do drones explode as soon as they feel resistance? I always thought it was more like kamikaze style where they fly into something completely and then the impact detonates the munition, not a bunch of sensors that trigger it as soon as it touches something like a landmine.
Interesting. I feel like this defence would be easily defeated if instead of two wires, it’s more of a cantilevered wire on a plastic/metal arm that requires a specific amount of force to bend, located on the nose of the drone, and the Secord contact point inset into the body of the drone, so when it crashes head on into something the two points connect but only if it really makes contact with something solid

From the videos, it looks like there are two wires in the front that connect when they hit something. My guess is that’s what detonates it.
