old news, they've been talking about the fibre-optic drones for a little while now.
essentially a very advanced, larger wire-guided SACLOS missile, a la Konkurs, MILAN, or TOW.
EW and jamming are so good that this is probably a must. radio controllers will get triangulated and hit, often quickly these days, and sight-picture could be heavily degraded (or straight blocked) by EW, so direct fibre makes pretty good sense.
