They do use nets, sometimes shotguns too. I think the main reason they don’t more often is it’s a lot easier to fly within a few feet of a target and explode then it is to aim a net, usually outside the vision of the camera
Many of the high traffic roads are covered with nets. It’d just require an absurd amount of netting to actually block off a city or something, and it’d be effectively impossible to electrify it.
Oh, I think you’re right. I read using a big net to stop them meaning surrounding the thing you’re defending with a net. I guess they meant firing one. The reason for that is pretty simple: drag. A big net would have a ton of drag, so it wouldn’t fly far. You could have a missile that ejects a net to catch a target, but nets also weigh a lot and you could instead have a bunch of pellets, fragmentation, or something. There are uses for nets, like the drone video in the OP, but they have some serious limitations too.

i wondered the same but figured that shooting a net while flying high speeds is more difficult than just peppering an area with shrapnel.

oh i meant shrapnel from a drone explosions
