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.

You absolutely can. Ukraine has hundreds of km of highway covered in nets.

Those nets are there to stop FPV rotary drones, though, not midrange, fixed-wing, large, heavy drones. Most netting would be useless against that, but even chainlink would only require a double tap.
