Russia and Ukraine are turning to fibre-optic drones in an effort to get around drone jamming. Experts say the technology could have far-reaching implications beyond the war zone because drone jammers are one of the few tools security agencies can use to bring down rogue or suspicious drones.

Both Russia and Ukraine are using “jam-proof” drones that use fiber-optic cables. However, these drones have vulnerabilities that both countries will soon exploit.

The strategic goal is to replicate the effectiveness of aerial drones, which have been used extensively for reconnaissance and offensive operations. (Scripps News)
