The article discusses the shift in drone warfare dynamics in Ukraine, where Russian forces have adopted fiber-optic controlled drones, allowing for precision targeting and greater range. Unlike older, wireless models, these drones operate via thin cables, making them immune to jamming. This new technology has enabled Russia to significantly outnumber and outperform Ukrainian drones, contributing to Ukrainian military challenges, including difficulties in logistics and troop movements in contested regions like Kursk. Ukraine is attempting to catch up by developing similar technology, but its efforts lag behind Russia's advancements.
"These fiber-optic drones have fundamentally changed the dynamics on the battlefield, allowing Russian forces to target Ukrainian positions with unmatched precision and range."
"Ukrainian troops reported feeling increasingly vulnerable as they faced Russian drones that outnumbered their own and could easily disrupt logistics routes."
