    So how is this mesh helping in any way?

    If it misses, it still misses. If it takes a hit, it still goes down.

      The mesh increases the ‘hit box’ of the interceptor. It’s conductive, so it is more likely to trigger the kamikaze than a normal in-air collision.

        According to the original telegram source, it is for defense:

        Makes no sense against shrapnel, but they are using a lot of different interception techniques. I’ve seen physical impact, nets and dangling wires so far. And against these type of attacks such a cope cage style defense might actually work.
