A "real" solution against FPVs is yet to be found.

EW work to some extent, but are limited by the wave length used. And then there is the question of powering such EW systems.
Fiber-optic FPVs are impervious to such systems.

Cope cages and nets, along with layered ERAs, are only temporary measures allowing for a few extra seconds/minutes of survivability. In a battlefield, such as Ukraine, where areas are saturated by drones to the point of having one drone filming a vehicle from a few meters away while PFVs hit the target one after another, such hard covers can only last for so long.
And that's without taking into account the "luck" factor.


Mobile units have that going for them: mobility. Though it only can only get them so far, it can allow them to evade to some very broad extent.

Static units however have also that going for them. Being static allows them to rely on concealment, greater/sturdier cover, more extensive countermeasure capabilities.
But, like mobile units, it makes them vulnerable to attrition.

The Royal Netherlands Navy and Royal Belgian Navy have officially transferred the Alkmaar-class minehunters HNLMS Vlaardingen and BNS Narcis to the Ukranian Navy. Both navies have provided support to train the Ukrainian crews in operating and maintaining the vessels.

The vessels have been renamed Melitopol and Henichesk after two Ukrainian cities occupied by russia.

At least one more ship, the HNLMS Makkum, will be turned over before the end of the year and renamed Mariupol.
 
Ukrainian servicemen showed a military hybrid, a tracked armored personnel carrier MT-LB with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher RBU-6000. It is worth noting that similar hybrids were previously created by the Russian army, videos were earlier. The Ukrainian version differs from the Russian one, it uses guides from the ship's RBU-6000 installation, and not the launcher itself. As can be seen from the video, the homemade military equipment was created in the winter, whether it exists now is unknown. The firing range of such a homemade MLRS will be about 5500 meters.

Ukrainian servicemen equipped the tracked all-terrain vehicle "Hagglunds Bv 206" with a lattice protection of the "Tsar-mangal" type. The all-terrain vehicle is also equipped with electronic warfare, the lower part of the all-terrain vehicle is covered with rubber aprons. The tracked articulated all-terrain vehicle Bandvagn 206 was developed in Sweden in 1974, it is now actively used in Ukraine. But very few videos with them are published in Ukraine. Technical information on the screen.
