It’s a fairly new development where they use fiber optic cables to control drones. This makes GPS/radio jammers useless in defending against them. It’s literally a drone being controlled using a wire that can be 40km long.
I just pointed it out to show that they are being used. There are already a few other videos of them seeing combat action.
Yikes.
Struggling to imagine the practicalities of that eg how does the fibre not snag, how much does it weight etc but if it works, then Godspeed to them.
I think at 4:28 you can see a fiber optic cable.
what use does that have? Battlefield comms?
