Russian military forces are actively using fiber optic drones, which are invulnerable to electronic warfare (EW) systems. Specialists from the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assembly center in St. Petersburg shared details about the operation of these air defense systems.
Fiber optics are a thin thread of transparent material through which the operator controls the drone. Dmitry, a technical specialist at the center, explained that fiber optic communication line spools come in 10, 15, 20, and even 25 km lengths.
The camera and flight controller are connected to the fiber optic spool, then the spool is unwound and connected to the ground control station.
Fiber optic drones successfully overcome any EW interference because they do not use radio signals for spatial orientation.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the "Vobla" super-drone was assembled for the Russian military from four UAVs.
