Russian kamikaze drones controlled via fiber optic cable have become one of the main ways to destroy armored vehicles in combat. The range of the drones has increased to 16 km.
The drones are controlled via fiber optics - a thin strand of optically transparent material. It is stored in coils - the length of the wire can reach 16 km.
On fiber optics, the drone is as if tethered to the operator, and no anti-drone guns or electronic warfare (EW) systems are an obstacle to it. The drones skillfully fly into dugouts and basements, covering mortars and firing points.
Mastery of control is needed. You need to know where to launch it, from the top or the bottom, so that there are no breaks or kinks.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the innovative fiber optic drone "Knyaz Vandal Novgorodsky" will become completely Russian.
