The YoYo is a compact module mounted beneath a multicopter. When Ukrainian drone approaches an enemy UAV, the system deploys a cord fitted with a weighted end, which is designed to entangle the target’s propellers.
Once the cord wraps around the propellers, it prevents them from rotating, forcing the intercepted drone to lose control.
In the footage released by the brigade, russian Mavic quadcopter falls after its propellers become entangled in the cord.
