Jam-Proof Fiber Optic Drone Is Now Tested In Ukraine

9 comments

1. Would be cool if there was a way to reel the optic fiber back in after the end of it is blown off. Makes the whole endeavor way cheaper.

2. Go Ukraine, win for yourself and the free world!

3. I think autonomy is a better strategy. There are very good reasons why fiber was abandoned when tried before.

4. Strawberry jam or raspberry jam?

5. Looking forward to HD footage.

   I also noted with interest that the drone can be used to establish stealth communication between positions.

   4 months ago, Ukrainian drone.

   Seems the usage of optic fiber’s pickingup

7. “Holding up a boom box playing ‘Momma Said Knock You Out’ is doing nothing to it now!!”

8. The farther it goes the more it weight it loses. The less weight it ways the farther it can go. The farther it goes the farther it can get.

9. It actually unspools a cable? That seems fragile.

   I wonder if it would be possible to use lasers to tight-beam signals. You can’t block that either, AFAIK.
