Russian forces are employing newer drones guided by fiber-optic cables, making them immune to signal jamming and electronic warfare that have hindered both sides' unmanned systems.
While the introduction of fiber-optic drones marks a new evolution in the drone arms race, they are not necessarily a game changer; there is rarely anything that acts as a true silver bullet in war.
Footage shared on social media has documented the increased use of wired drones in combat, showcasing a higher-quality picture compared to traditional wireless drone systems.
The usage of fiber-optic drones appeared more prevalent after a March incident where Ukraine recovered a Russian prototype, indicating their growing role in the conflict.
