Consequences of Using Fiber Optic Drones
Russian drones specifically operate using fiber optic cables, which allow them to function in real-time through video and remote control. By cutting or removing these cables, the operator immediately loses control of the weapon. This action by the Ukrainian grandmother not only helped disable a drone but also represents the determination and will of the people of this country to defend their land.
This grandmother has been recognized as a local hero, and expressing positive emotions, one social media user wrote: "God bless her." Another user, referring to this incident, wrote: "The lesson of this story: Don't mess with Ukrainian grandmothers." This type of humor and accounting on social media reflects the positive spirit and hope of the Ukrainian people in the face of great challenges.
In 2022, a report was released stating that a grandmother in Kyiv disabled a Russian drone by throwing a jar of pickles at it. Her granddaughter, Alena, confirmed that her grandmother was smoking on the balcony when she heard the buzzing sound of the drone and attacked it with the nearest heavy object, a jar of pickles and plums.
These events demonstrate the creativity and courage of the Ukrainian people in facing military threats and show that even in critical conditions, the fighting spirit of the people remains alive and dynamic.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Vladimir Putin is stockpiling "unstoppable" fiber optic drones for a potential attack on NATO countries. According to military sources, the Kremlin may have gathered up to 130,000 fiber optic drones, and this number could reach 200,000 by the end of summer. These drones are particularly dangerous due to their use of fiber optic cables instead of radio signals, making them difficult to disrupt by NATO's electronic defenses.
