Pictures at linked site. Haven’t seen Fiber Optic controlled drones before. This war is driving hyper-speed innovation and technical developments.

These drones will be immune from (current) Ukrainian electronic warfare defense. We’ll soon see how effective these are and their numbers on the battlefields.

So we need to develop Flying Scissors?..................

And so, what was old is now new again.
Weren’t out T.O.W. anti-tank/armor missiles wire guided as well? At least the early versions?

cool

[old-ager]

can a drone kill a drone?

What did our garbage ruling class expect from the Russians. In September of 1949 the Russians exploded their first nuclear bomb - just a touch over 4 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Of course the Russians were going to rapidly advance their military technology.

still looking for plans for a pocket-sized emp device.

Simply an extension of TOW (Tube launched, Optically tracked, Wire guided) missile technology from the 1970s.

TOW missiles and MK 48 Torpedoes both use wire guidance to minimize jamming interference. It was only a matter of time until similar technology was extended to drones.

It's interesting this appears as it does. The YouTuber is in Finland. And -- obviously he doesn't know how to play the AdSense/Patreon/PayPal/merch game yet -- he isn't raising funds in an overt and obvious manner at all. Joined in 2012, this "fool" is barely monetized! The UMCRevMom kids are so-o-o much better at the "cash cow" game....

But Itapirkanmaa2 should get special mention for merely posting the Dolores Umbridge of Europe in a simple snippet from her stupid speech from only a day ago -- Ursula von der Leyen, the Orator, captivates her audience

Things are not as they seem....

Best wishes.

I have fiber optic (Brightspeed) cable in my home. Fragile. Much, much smaller than RG6. But 2 years running and no outages (due to the fiber optic line).

...a 10km long fibre optic cable which was attached...

Do you know how EXPENSIVE that is? Honestly, I don't have a clue.

[Lurker]

“So basically there was a 10km long fibre optic cable which was attached to drone..”

That’s quite a bit of weight to be pulling.
