Russian military forces are actively using fiber-optic tethered drones "Knyaz Vandal" on the front lines. Fiber-optic operation provides stable communication with the operator, and insensitivity to electronic warfare effects makes it possible to perform tasks at minimum altitudes.
At the same time, it is impossible to determine the launch location of the "Vandal." However, the device also has certain disadvantages: the drone's range is several kilometers. It does not replace traditional drones using a radio channel, but is used on the line of combat contact to solve specific tasks, selectively.
Of the disadvantages, our device is slower than other drones in application. This is not due to the weight of the coil, but to the fact that if you fly too fast on it, you can break the fiber-optic line. Therefore, "Knyaz Vandal" is not a story for racing on FPV drones. But the high-quality and beautiful picture outweighs the disadvantages. It is important to understand that a good picture is also an opportunity to choose where to strike in the final stage.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that an important feature of the Su-57 fighters will allow to detect Storm Shadow even at hypersonic speeds.
