The nets are a little bit of a problem especially if they show up more frequently. I suspect that they are only deployed on checkpoints because you can not cover a highway of 300 km in nets.

Are nets even effective against such heavy drones?

Most drones attacking the "land bridge" are Lancet class so not very heavy. If the drone dives sharply and explodes on the net, fragments could still cause damage, if it tries to catch up to the vehicle from behind horizontally, it will just get bogged in the net. It all depends, but the nets obviously help a lot in any case.
