Russian fiber optic guided kamikaze drones have become a formidable weapon for destroying enemy military equipment. However, the drones have significant drawbacks that must be considered in operation, the military said.
These FPV drones are unique in that they are virtually invulnerable to enemy electronic warfare.
The fiber optic cable extends from a reel attached to the lower part of the strike drone to prevent contact with the propellers. Depending on the specific model, the cable length can reach 20 km.
We have different types of reels, the fiber optic is inside it. If you try to tear it, it is very stiff, but if you curl it into a loop, it will tear immediately and the video will drop out because of this. The most important thing is a good take-off first, then smooth flight, there should be no sharp turns on turns and U-turns, because the fiber optic can get tangled and break due to the wind.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Forpost-RU drone will receive small-sized radars for guiding Kalibr missiles and loitering munitions.
