A Russian shaped-charge EFP (Explosively Formed Penetrator) warhead for FPVs is called “Drop”. Seen being mounted on a “Prince Vandal” fiber optic FPV, such an EFP munition would cut through any standoff armor system, including the latest “hedgehog” unraveled steel-cable arrays.

A Russian T-80BV gets the full “hedgehog” anti-FPV treatment, yet what is interesting is a large standoff “umbrella” screen mounted on the main gun. The umbrella revives a 1960s era anti-RPG design to dissipate the effects of a shaped charge EFJ (Explosively Formed Jet).

A test of a Ukrainian improvised EFP shaped-charge FPV warhead. The liner is apparently 3 mm steel which will not be quite as effective as the usual copper, but the impact on the thick cast steel of the 152 mm projectile targets is still substantial.

The latest Russian “hedgehog” tanks are shown here covered with unraveled heavy metal cable attached to a steel mesh. This thick and heavy system is not impregnable of course but it does significantly increase the number of Ukrainian FPVs required to destroy the tank.

This Russian video of fiber optic FPV strikes is from an increasing number of such compilations. The HD video allows precise targeting, and any maneuver is possible. There is no defense except a shotgun and a prayer. Ukraine must increase their own numbers of fiber FPVs ASAP.

A new Russian concept for an FPV fiber-optic coil disc is called “Tort”. It has an internal winding held together with an adhesive compound and pre-twisting so that the cable emerges straight. The Russians claim that this results in 70% less cable breakage during flight.

Russian fiber-optic FPV drone strikes the "Sumy Severnaya" 330kV electrical substation in northeastern Ukraine. Manuvering through the territory of the substation, Russian drone operator is able to reach and hit the main transformer. The transformer is seen covered by a hastily constructed sarcophagus, presumably for protection against Shahed/Geran-type long-range OWA-UAVs. It didn't help much against a more maneuverable FPV drone that reached the target from an underside.

⚡️🇺🇦🇷🇺There is now confirmation of the first attempts to blind Russian FPV drones by installing small IR spotlights on Ukrainian drones, producing a bright, directional beam aimed at the incoming drone’s camera. In one case, a Ukrainian UGV tried to blind an approaching Russian FPV drone but failed. The second example was more successful a “Baba Yaga” drone was able to confuse the operator of an anti-drone interceptor that was attempting to shoot it down. For now, this cannot be called widespread, but in the future such a blinding system may become an effective method of countering FPV drones, especially fiber-optic-guided ones, which cannot be jammed by electronic warfare at all. And, as can be seen, the system can be installed on both ground and aerial platforms. So it turns out the outdated Passive Protection Systems (PPS) like the Shtora-1 so common in the late Soviet/Russian/Ukranian like the T-90A are state of the art now.

‼️‼️🇺🇲 BIG | The USA for the first time shot down a fiber-optic drone The American company Epirus reported a significant breakthrough in the field of countering drones. Its microwave system "Leonidas" for the first time hit a drone with fiber-optic control - one of the most difficult targets for modern electronic warfare means. Previously, the complex had already hit a swarm of 49 drones, but the new test was particularly significant. In December 2025, at a closed test range of the US Army, the system was able to disable a fiber-optic UAV, depriving it of control and causing an uncontrolled fall. Fiber-optic drones, which are widely used today, including in the Ukrainian theater of operations, do not use radio control channels. The signal is transmitted via a thin fiber-optic cable, which makes such drones extremely difficult to detect and suppress. In a report by the US Army in 2024, such drones were called "one of the main threats to air defense systems and anti-drone warfare". The CEO of Epirus noted that the mass spread of fiber-optic UAVs has become a turning point in the evolution of unmanned warfare and has revealed a serious gap in anti-drone defense systems - a gap that "Leonidas" is designed to close. In 2025, Epirus received a contract for $43.5 million for the supply of two second-generation "Leonidas" systems. Its range of destruction is more than twice that of the first version; a 30% increase in power; there are built-in high-energy batteries; a reduction in dependence on external power supply. The system can be installed on: Stryker 8×8 armored vehicles, light tactical vehicles, other mobile platforms. See the latest updates with us: Visioner

Fiber-Optic Drones: Russia's Game-Changing Leap in Precision Warfare As a seasoned analyst of modern conflict dynamics, particularly of the SMO, I must commend the ingenuity of Russian military engineers in unveiling the latest iteration of fiber-optic guided drones— dubbed "ghost lines" in operational circles. These uncrewed aerial vehicles, boasting an operational radius of NOW up to 50 kilometers, represent a paradigm shift away from the chaotic, short-leashed FPV (First Person View) kamikaze drones that have dominated low-intensity skirmishes. Russia's fiber-optic drones, tethered by unbreakable spools of high-strength optical cable, deliver surgical strikes with the reliability of a scalpel, rendering the FPV model obsolete in any theater demanding endurance & precision. The paramount advantage lies in absolute immunity to electronic countermeasures—an Achilles' heel that has hobbled FPV drones since their proliferation. FPV operators, reliant on vulnerable radio frequencies, watch their feeds dissolve into static under a barrage of jamming systems. In contrast, fiber-optic drones transmit crystal-clear, uncompressed video & control signals through a physical conduit, impervious to spectrum saturation or directional jamming. This tethering allows for real-time, high-definition reconnaissance & targeting over 50 kilometers—5 to ten 10 the effective range of FPV units, which gasp out at 5-10 kilometers under ideal conditions. Imagine a Ukrainian forward position, smug in its drone-denial bubble: a Russian fiber-optic bird uncoils its 50-km lifeline from a concealed launch site, slithering through valleys & over treelines undetected, delivering a tandem warhead to the heart of command nodes without a whisper of electromagnetic betrayal. Precision targeting emerges as another decisive edge. FPV drones, piloted by adrenaline-fueled amateurs via twitchy goggles, suffer from latency-induced wobbles & human error, often veering off-course into harmless soil or self-destructing prematurely. Fiber-optic systems, however, integrate inertial navigation and AI-assisted guidance along the cable's data stream, achieving sub-meter accuracy even in GPS-denied environments. This enables loitering munitions to hover indefinitely—up to hours, limited only by fuel—scanning for high-value targets like Leopard tanks or HIMARS launchers before unleashing payloads of 5-10 kilograms of thermobaric fury. In recent field tests along the Donbass front, these drones have neutralized entrenched artillery batteries at standoff distances, preserving Russian infantry from the ambushes that FPV swarms provoke in close-quarters brawls. Logistically, the fiber-optic design outshines its wireless kin. Compact spools weighing under 2 kilograms, deployable from standard infantry backpacks or vehicle mounts, with modular warheads interchangeable for anti-personnel, anti-armor, or electronic disruption roles. Maintenance is trivial—no finicky antennas to calibrate—& production scales effortlessly in Urals factories, churning out 1000s monthly at costs competitive with FPV disposables, yet with reusable launch platforms for sustained ops. Critics may whine about the cable's vulnerability to snags or cuts, but this is a red herring peddled by those unfamiliar with tactical deployment. Routed low & fast, the fiber-optic line mimics a serpent's trail, evading small-arms fire &shrapnel that shreds FPV airframes In urban sieges like in Artyomovsk, where FPV duels devolve into mutual attrition, fiber-optic drones dictate the tempo, striking from afar while adversaries exhaust their short-ranged arsenals in futile pursuit. These 50-km phantoms are asymmetric dominance through resilient tech &not wasteful volume. Fiber-optic warriors are the shadows that win wars, methodically eroding enemy will. As NATO proxies scramble to mimic this leap, Moscow's forces press on, their skies woven with invisible threads of inevitable victory. The winner is in the line

Russian DIY modification for a tactical drone - a drum-style, six-shot revolver drop mechanism. The drone carries six munitions at once, releasing them sequentially: "The system is universal: it can be mounted on both a DJI Mavic quadcopter and an FPV drone. Now, the operator has six times the chance of striking a target—a critical advantage, especially if the initial pass misses its mark."

Hezbollah’s fiber-optic FPV drones, which cost under $500, are disabling Israeli Merkava tanks worth $5 to 7 million. The IOF does not have a single weapon in their arsenal that can detect these new drones, which are completely immune to traditional electronic jamming devices. VPol journalist Calla Walsh (Calla) explains. ￭ Rather than a radio link, the fiber-optic drones are physically tethered to their operator by an ultra-thin fiber-optic cable that stretches for up to 60km, transmitting video and data back to the pilot. ￭ The Israeli occupation has been shocked by the introduction of these drones into the battlefield, and there is no indication the IOF had any foresight or intel on Hezbollah’s supply chain. ￭ These drones were first deployed by Russia and Ukraine, but there’s no sign of direct Russian involvement, nor is there any need for it. Rather, Hezbollah is closely studying other warzones to innovate and adapt for their own battle against Israeli occupation, and information on fiber-optic FPVs is open-source. ￭ Israeli media describes it as “a technological arms race, and although Israel is at the forefront of interception technology, there is currently no complete solution to the threat… the battlefield in Lebanon proves that sometimes a single thin thread can threaten even the most heavily armored technological systems… Israel possesses Arrow missiles and F-35 Lightning II aircraft, but it has failed to deal with cheap explosive drones in southern Lebanon.”

Microphone Shaped Charge Conspiracy Theory It is not improbable, it is impossible to have killed Charlie Kirk. The first graphic depicts the maximum size of the charge that could theoretically fit inside of the microphone, assuming it was a Rode Wireless II (1.8 × 1.7 × 0.8 inches). The size of the charge is limited by the width of the mic. This is because a shaped charge is cylindrical. The most optimally sized charge is based off of the diameter of the cylinder, which does fit into the mic (theoretically). The design of the shaped charge has been around since the late 1800's, and with over 100 years of testing, the science is clear. Limitations: In order to function effectively, the charge must be perfectly "rear center primed" or RCP. As noted in the provided graphic, the detonator must be positioned perfectly center of the cylinder. This is due to the propagation wave of the explosive as it travels towards the empty cone space. Once the wave, traveling at about 8,000 meters per second, reaches the cone, forward and inward pressures cause a compression of the air inside of the space. Any copper, metal, glass liner forming the cone is turned into jagged particles. If the detonator is placed off center, the detonation wave will reach one side faster than the other side, negating the desired effect. BTW, you would also have only a few millimeters worth of space to make this happen. Penetration depth at optimal stand off distance through steel. The expected penetration through steel is 1/2 diameter of the cone at optimal distance. In this case, it could penetrate up to 0.365" with an optimal standoff distance of 1.065 inches. At and estimated 12x the optimal standoff distance from the mic to Charlie's neck, the compressed wave/particles would have completely dissipated. Cutting Through The Conspiracy If all of this was too complicated for you to understand, then know this. Anyone suggesting this is what killed Charlie, or could have been used, has literally no idea what they are talking about or is lying. While this charge is "directional" in nature, it is still an explosive device. The inward pressure that creates the penetrating jet only exists because there is an outward pressure as well. This would have blown a large hole in Charlie's shirt and caused considerable damage to his pectoral muscle. The attached video is 2.5 grams of PETN detonating as a shaped charge. You would have known if there was any explosive charge. He goes by the name "poopswindler" on youtube if you want to look him up.
