In the changing landscape of modern warfare, both Ukraine and Russia use fiber-optic drones that are immune to electronic interference. This is reported by Forces News. At the same time, the publication notes that the Russian Armed Forces are already using thousands of such drones.
Recognizing the high efficiency of fiber-optic drones, the authors of the publication ask themselves: is it possible to stop these drones at all?
– Peter Lee, an expert on unmanned technologies, professor at the University of Portsmouth, explains to the publication.
He adds that the cable is used to control the drone and transmit high-quality video signals, eliminating any radio emissions.
– the specialist emphasizes.
According to him, it is very difficult to interrupt the signal because it is not being broadcast, so how do you connect to a fiber-optic cable? According to Peter Lee, the only option for countering drones on fiber is physical impact.
– says the professor.
Thank you, Captain Obvious...

To date, the most famous Russian fiber-optic drone is the Prince Vandal of Novgorod. With his help, the servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation destroyed a huge amount of military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Experts note that Russian troops currently have no shortage of fiber-optic drones and can afford to use several such drones at once to destroy a single combat unit.
