Ukraine felt it necessary to design fiber-optic cable controlled drones as a countermeasure, so I suspect the fancy radio solution isn't that easy. Or the enemy just jams the entire band.
- londons_explore 2y agoboth sides are using fiber optic controls because they're using modded hobby grade drones which don't have phased array antennas, and fiber is far cheaper than a phased array antenna on a drone which is disposable. But the next gen of drones will have phased arrays because they're things that are hard to design, and expensive to make a small quantity of, but when you start making 10M+ drones, they become cheap, and obviously have more utility than fiber.
