💔Heavy footage that vividly demonstrates how war is changing. Now the intensity of combat actions can be determined not so much by destroyed buildings, but by the amount of optical fibre.
Pilots of the reconnaissance company of the 63rd Brigade showed what Lyman looks like now. The city is holding on, but is gradually being covered by this “cobweb”. Every day hundreds of enemy and our “birds” fly here – and each one leaves its mark🥺

Probably not fiber optic, but interesting post nonetheless
Yes it is literally fiber optic and both sides have been using it for over a year to bypass the electromagnetic warfare that jams wireless drones. The fiber drones can have ranges exceeding 40km by using an attached spool to feed the cable as it flies
Maybe you’re out of the loop?
