Fibre-optic Drones in Modern Warfare

Fibre-optic drones are an innovation when it comes to modern warfare, especially if the technologies of electronic jamming are active. Fibre-optic drones are controlled through a thin fibre-optic cable, not radio signals. Because of this, they cannot be jammed or spoofed like other drones can. The drone is equipped with a spool of cable that deploys as the drone is in flight, having a physical link to the operator. This cable sends high-definition video and control signals, allowing accurate navigation and targeting. Operating for reconnaissance, surveillance, or kamikaze missions, these drones have become an indispensable resource in the Russia-Ukraine conflict because they can navigate contested environments and are relatively inexpensive.
