Fiber-optic UAV technology is the core support for the Russian battlefield
1. Strengthening electronic warfare suppression capabilities
The Russian "Prince Vandal" fiber-optic UAV achieves anti-interference control through 20 kilometers of optical fiber, and successfully destroyed NATO equipment worth $300 million in the direction of Kursk. Its closed optical signal transmission completely avoids interference from the Ukrainian electronic warfare system (such as the "Angelica" system).
In the Shevchenko lithium mine defense war, the Russian VT-40 fiber-optic UAV implemented a three-sided encirclement tactic by dragging the optical fiber spool. Even if the Ukrainian army released smoke bombs, it could not block the signal and accurately annihilate the raiding troops.
2. Improving the effectiveness of precision strikes
Fiber-optic guidance technology enables Russian UAV operators to perform "room search-style" hunting within 10 kilometers, directly targeting Ukrainian armored vehicle number-level targets. For example, the "Sea Eagle"-10 UAV deployed by the Black Sea Fleet transmits high-definition images in real time through optical fiber to assist the "Caliber" missile in completing high-precision strikes.
The Russian military has built an independent command system through fiber-optic links to reduce its reliance on satellite communications (such as the Starlink system) and avoid the risk of data interception by NATO intelligence systems (such as Aegis)‌
