- samplatt 2y agoA lot of anti-drone jamming is severing the wireless communication between a drone and its operator. In most of the write-up, these drones were on pre-planned autonomous routes, and would thus not be affected. Unless you also had anti-radar installations :-) Or hell, some kinda highly-illegal and mostly-unfeasible microwave gun or multi-watt CO2 laser that you could point at a drone and bring it down.

- pjc50 2y agoUkraine and Russia are apparently building drones with fiber-optic tethers to defeat this. Like the old wire-guided missiles. https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraines-drone-makers-producing-fiber-optic-weapons-didnt-think-possible-2025-2 https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraines-drone-makers-produc...

- alashow 2y agoI wonder why spool of fiber optic cable is on the drone vs with the operator..
- pbmonster 2y agoDrag and fibre tension. In the former case, you have close to zero for both. In the latter, you're dragging 2km of line behind a small aircraft, risking the line getting snagged by something on the ground.
