Experts warn these improvised defenses may deter smaller drones but not larger ones, underscoring growing risks to global oil and grain exports and rising war-risk premiums for maritime insurers.

Dana Whitfield Chicken wire and tires against a drone with a warhead - that's not defense, that's a prayer.
