Ukrainian forces are developing solutions for downing Russian fiber-optic drones. Recently, Madiar’s Birds Regiment’s Commander, Robert Brovdi, released a video of such an interception.

Drones using fiber optics have become a new phase in the “drone war” in Ukraine. Ukrainian tech startups are urgently seeking ways to counter Russian drones using such technology, which cannot be jammed by electronic warfare systems and is even harder to detect. At the same time, Ukraine is experimenting with its own fiber-optic drones.
