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, according to the military.
Such 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, with the fiber optic inside. If you try to tear it, it's very stiff, but if you curl it into a loop, it will tear immediately, and the video will drop out because of that. The most important thing is a good takeoff first, then smooth flight, and there should be no sharp 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.
