I guess I am a little confused as to what kind of threat level that mesh is supposed to stop.  The mesh over trenches is especially confusing, as one would think that creates an ideal airburst.

For the fuel truck, it's really about stopping the little HEAT warhead of the 40mm HEDP from piercing and igniting the fuel truck. Depending on the mesh, it might be effective / marginally effective on thwarting drone dropped anti tank grenades which also use a HEAT. 

Depending on how the impact fuse is created, the nets may also be soft enough a landing that they prevent the fuse from being successfully slam fired. 

This video more than any other really exemplifies the danger of these FPV drones. 

The tank is driving down the road at a good speed, with the hatch open to get a little air. The FPV drone flies into the open hatch and detonates in the moving tank. 

That's above Javelin level accuracy with a $400 munition...

Tactical wheelbarrow!

Hand carts are the future of infantry mobility ;-)

years ago i was playing with a superlightweight carbon fiber version of this , only real improvement , was folding and suspension.

Maybe time to dust of the plans , and get in on the action, while money is still being thrown around.

this monowhell for stretcher costs cca 3000Eur , which means can be sold to Ukraine for 10+K$ given how things are being sold for now.

You need to add a lawnmower engine for another 10K$.
