New footage of the successful defeat of military equipment of the Ukrainian occupiers in the forests of the Kursk region with the help of a fiber-optic kamikaze drone of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has been published online.
As you can see, the fiber-optic drone easily maneuvers between trees and hits enemy armored vehicles stationed in the forest with extreme accuracy. A fiber-optic drone differs from a conventional method of contacting an operator via fiber-optic communication. In the back of the drone there is a coil with an unwinding fiber-optic thread.

Drones of this type are absolutely immune to all kinds of interference and the effects of electronic warfare systems. Such drones are massively used during clashes in the border area of the Kursk region due to the fact that the Ukrainian militants have sufficiently saturated the invading forces with electronic warfare systems.
As a rule, fiber-optic drones are equipped with two PG-7VM grenades mounted at a small angle. This is done in order to increase the chances of hitting the equipment even with an unsuccessful strike. Absolutely no currently existing electronic countermeasures are capable of suppressing data transmission or even slightly impair their quality. Moreover, the enemy's electronic reconnaissance equipment is not able to detect the combat control point due to the lack of radio-emitting antenna posts.
The columnist of the German edition Yu. Repke complains that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are increasingly using drones in the Kursk region, controlled via a fiber-optic cable with a range of up to 8 kilometers, successfully destroying the AFU equipment.
