In the Kursk region, Russian troops are using a unique FPV drone, controlled without repeaters and radio communications, via a special fiber-optic cable that unwinds to a distance of up to 20 km

The system provides a stable connection and good image quality on the operator’s terminal, increasing manageability. Electronic warfare means are powerless against him.

The UAV was developed in Veliky Novgorod, in the Ushkuynik center and named “Prince Vandal of Novgorod”. They say it is more expensive, but in conditions of poor signal or powerful operation, electronic warfare is an indispensable thing. Russia has such novelties and they are also noticed in the West. Moreover, they are so alarmed that Forbes wrote an entire article about the development of Russian drones.

Recently, FPV drones controlled by fiber-optic cable were introduced by the Chinese company Skywalker, and Ukraine is testing similar drones, German ones. Based on this, it can be concluded that all over the world, the development of drones capable of operating in spite of electronic warfare is seen as a more promising topic than improving ways to counter electronic warfare.
