乌克兰战场上,光纤无人机的使用日益增多,这些无人机通过光纤电缆与操作员连接,不易受到电子战干扰。最近发布的视频显示,乌克兰的森林中布满了光纤电缆,表明这种无人机已成为对抗电子战的重要手段。虽然光纤无人机在开阔地形中表现出色,但在森林等复杂环境中可能受到限制。乌克兰和俄罗斯都在使用这种技术,以应对战场上的电子干扰。这种技术已经成为战场上一个显著的趋势,引发了对未来无人机战术的思考。

📡 光纤无人机通过长而细的光纤电缆与操作员连接,从而避免了依赖无线电频率的无人机容易受到的电子战干扰。

🌲 视频显示,乌克兰的森林中布满了光纤电缆,表明光纤无人机在战场上的应用日益广泛,特别是在Serebryansky森林地区。

🛡️ 俄罗斯和乌克兰都在使用光纤无人机作为对抗电子战的手段,旨在提高无人机的稳定性和作战能力。乌克兰还采取了诸如使用霰弹枪等反制措施来应对这些无人机。

💡 光纤无人机更适合短距离作战,尤其是在开阔地形。然而,在森林等复杂环境中,电缆容易缠绕,可能影响其使用效率。

🚀 乌克兰的无人机产业在战争期间迅速发展,许多开发商与军方合作,不断改进和创新无人机的硬件和软件。

So many fiber-optic drones are being used in Ukraine, they're covering the battlefield in their wires.

A new video shows how prolific jamming-resistant fiber-optic drones are becoming on the battlefields in Ukraine. There are wires scattered all over the place.

On Friday, Ukraine's defense ministry shared a video from the 63rd Mechanized Brigade of Serebryansky Forest covered in webs of fiber optic cables.

"Just imagine how many drones are flying here," it wrote.

Fiber-optic drones, which are connected to operators via a long, thin fiber-optic cable, can't be jammed by electronic warfare tactics designed to disrupt the signal connection the way drones that rely on radio frequencies can.

In the video footage Ukraine's defense ministry shared, clumps of wires can be seen spread across the treetops. The lines are reflective, and at some points in the video, the sunlight flashes off of them, showing webs throughout the forest.

Some areas of the forest are packed with tons of wire, suggesting many fiber-optic drones have followed those paths, while others are scattered about. It's immediately clear from the video that there has been significant fiber-optic drone activity in the area.

Serebryansky Forest is a large nature preserve in Luhansk Oblast. It is located to the southeast of Kharkiv and just north of Bakhmut.

There have been other videos like this one, as well as photos of cabling stretching across battlefields.

Fiber-optic cables used by unjammable drones stretched across a battered battlespace.

This new video highlights the expanding use of fiber-optic drones on both sides of the war. Last year, Russia first introduced these hardwired systems as a countermeasure to persistent electronic warfare on the battlefield, which Russia and Ukraine are using to jam drones and prevent operators from communicating with them.

Electronic warfare has had a serious impact on regular drones, negatively impacting strike and surveillance missions and forcing combat innovations.

Fiber-optic wires can be seen connected to a drone during a test flight in the Kyiv region in December.

Ukraine then began using them as well. At the time, it was unclear if fiber-optic drones were just a temporary fix that would be countered until something better, like AI-enabled drones, came along or if they'd serve as a potential long-term solution.

These drones, which have clearly become more prolific, are useful for short-distance operations, typically over more open terrain. In forested areas, they can more easily get hung up in the trees.

Earlier this year, a Ukrainian special drone unit told Business Insider that it hadn't seen widespread adoption of fiber-optic drones in fighting just yet, but in recent months, these drone systems have had an increased presence on the battlefield.

Due to the constant threat posed by these unjammable drones, Ukraine has implemented countermeasures like shotguns as a kinetic answer, shooting the drones when they get close to personnel. The shotgun is the best defensive option right now.

While countermeasures are in the works, Ukraine is also continuing to develop and use its own fiber-optic drones. The country's larger drone industry has boomed since the war began three years ago, with many drone developers working closely with Kyiv's military on adaptations and new hardware and software.
