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.

You need skill to control it. You need to know where to launch it, from the top or the bottom, so that there are no breaks or kinks.
