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)...

How do you stop a fiber-optic drone that is immune to EW? The answer is kinetic — you have to shoot it down. But hitting such a small, high-speed target has been the primary bottleneck for defenders. A Brave1 participant has developed a solution: a compact, AI-powered turret that detects, tracks, and neutralizes drones autonomously. The operator simply authorizes the strike. Of course, the turret is not limited to countering fiber-optic drones — it effectively downs FPVs, Molniyas and other UAV that the enemy deploys against our forces. Watch the first footage of the system in action on the battlefield.

🚨 HEZBOLLAH DEPLOYS NEW “UNSTOPPABLE” DRONE A new battlefield threat is emerging in southern Lebanon: fiber-optic attack drones. Unlike traditional UAVs, these drones are physically tethered to their operator by a cable — meaning: • No signal • No jamming • No electronic detection The result: a near-invisible, precision-guided weapon. In a recent attack, one of these drones killed 19-year-old Sgt. Idan Fooks and injured several others. Hezbollah then followed up by targeting the rescue helicopter. Israel’s usual advantage — electronic warfare — is largely useless here. No signal = nothing to jam. These drones can operate up to 15 km away, giving operators real-time, high-resolution targeting while staying safely hidden.

‼️‼️🇺🇲 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

🟡 Hezbollah’s explosive drones have severely restricted Israeli freedom of movement in southern Lebanon, forcing roughly 80% of military assaults to be carried out outside daylight hours, according to Israel’s public broadcaster KAN. Israel has since approved a roughly $700 million emergency counter-drone program aimed at developing mobile defense systems, expanding radar coverage, and increasing anti-drone munitions. Retired Lebanese Brigadier General Bassam Yassin told The New Arab that the fiber-optic-guided drones used by Hezbollah, which have near-zero radar signatures and are immune to electronic jamming, will remain extremely difficult to intercept. 🎥 Footage released by Hezbollah shows an FPV drone striking an Israeli military Humvee in the outskirts of Al-Bayyada, a coastal town in southern Lebanon, on May 16.

⭕️ Israeli officials are increasingly acknowledging there is no clear military solution to Hezbollah’s expanding drone threat, even as fighting in southern Lebanon continues to intensify despite a renewed ceasefire extension. An Israeli security source told Kan broadcaster that “even if we occupy all of southern Lebanon... these steps will not be able to destroy the last explosive drone or Hezbollah’s last rocket.” The source added that “military action is not enough,” arguing that “a political breakthrough is needed, hand in hand with prolonged military deterrence.” The comments came after Hezbollah reportedly fired around 200 projectiles at Israeli positions and troops over the weekend, according to an Israeli military official speaking to AFP. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also acknowledged the growing challenge posed by Hezbollah’s FPV drones, saying Israel is “fighting an enemy that is trying to outsmart us.” “We are facing the challenge of neutralizing FPV drones,” Netanyahu said. 🎥 Hezbollah’s Military Media released footage showing an FPV loitering drone strike targeting an Israeli military Humvee in the southern Lebanese town of Tayr Harfa on May 14.

🎥 Hezbollah released footage showing an FPV suicide drone striking an Israeli military vehicle in the Iskandaroun area of Al-Biyadé, a coastal town in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border on May 17, despite the vehicle being covered with improvised anti-drone netting. The footage comes a day after Israeli media reported that Israeli soldiers deploying to southern Lebanon had resorted to sourcing fishing nets from nearby kibbutzim to shield vehicles and positions from Hezbollah’s explosive drones. Israeli officers told local media the nets are intended to push the blast away from troops, while senior military officials admitted the growing fiber-optic drone threat still has “no clear solution.”

HIGH-SPEED DEATH ON A LEASH Welcome to Lyman, Ukraine - where the streets are wrapped in fiber optic spaghetti. These aren’t internet cables. They’re the remnants of first-person-view (FPV) attack drones - the kind flown on a leash. Each drone is physically tethered to its operator with a thin fiber optic line, spooling out mid-flight. Once the drone hits its target (or gets blown up), the cable is left behind - and the result is a warzone covered in tech debris that looks like a giant spider went ballistic. Modern war: now featuring high-speed fiber... and zero cleanup. Source: Viral Maniacs

Could a single Hezbollah fiber-optic FPV strike could have a greater impact than an entire wave of missiles? Every resistance operation has two key components: its military aspect, and its propaganda aspect. Analysis by VPol journalist Calla: ￭ In the case of a missile strike, the Israeli occupation imposes a tight censorship regime, and the impact is by and large only seen or heard by the settlers in its immediate surrounding. But the video of an FPV strike against the IOF in southern Lebanon or northern occupied Palestine, however, is broadcast and viewed by millions. ￭ Each video of a successful strike shows to the Israelis that, despite what the occupation regime promised, a three-year ongoing war of aggression did not reach the “decisive victory” or “elimination of threats” promised, especially to the northern settlements. ￭ As Israeli censorship and lies about casualty counts continue, the resistance channels become more reliable news sources for Israelis than their own government to see if their IOF family or friends were struck in the latest video.

⭕️ VIDEO | Hezbollah released footage showing attacks on Israeli army forces in the southern Lebanese town of Rashaf, in Nabatieh Governorate near the Israeli border, using swarms of loitering FPV drones. The footage appears to show strikes targeting at least two Merkava Mk4 tanks, armored bulldozers, heavy military trucks, and Humvees. Hezbollah said the operations ultimately forced Israeli forces to withdraw from the town. The “Ababil” drones are low-cost FPV quadcopters, fiber-optic guided to bypass electronic jamming systems and typically armed with RPG-style anti-tank warheads. “Ababil” (أبابيل) is a Quranic term translated as “flocks” or “swarms of birds.” It comes from the story in Surah Al-Fil, where birds are said to have defended Mecca from an invading army.

The Ukrainian mistake that put an entire strategy into question Until the end of 2024, Ukrainian defenses using drones were very effective, slowing down not only the Russian advance but also inflicting significant casualties. During this period, the Russians heavily invested in drones, from factories to the development of fiber-optic drones, which were still produced in small quantities. By the end of 2024, a second Chinese restriction on the sale of components further complicated these transactions for both sides. Both industries were already manufacturing various components in small quantities, but still heavily dependent on Chinese imports. While the Russians expanded their intermediary networks to bypass restrictions and maintain Chinese imports, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense decided to invest in local companies to produce fiber-optic cables. Essentially, all other components continued to be imported from China via intermediaries, but strangely, several Ukrainian companies started manufacturing low-quality cables and received government funding. The result was an unprecedented superiority of Russian drones on the battlefield, while Ukrainian fiber-optic drones were produced in much smaller numbers, with limited range and low-quality fibers that broke easily. This mistake of nationalizing such a sensitive component was initiated by the Ministry and not due to Chinese restrictions, since all other components continued to be imported through intermediaries. In my view, it was a bold strategy that ultimately failed, compromising the Ukrainian advantage until that moment. You either win the war or make money. It's hard to do both. It will be a major challenge for Ukraine to regain its front-line capacity as it previously was, facing a Russian production of 500,000 fiber-optic drones annually. This significant error weakened Ukrainian defense, which was already operating with low manpower and high desertion rates, but was still adjusting and maintaining the front through the hiring of mercenaries for many months. Given the scarcity of equipment on the front line, there is doubt whether lowering recruitment age will have the desired effect to sustain the front for a long period. It would also be necessary to resolve the issue with fiber-optic drones and for Ukraine to receive another batch of equipment from 2023, which I believe is unlikely. The situation involves multiple aspects of deterioration that have persisted for a long time, continuing to impact the AFU. While financial aid is being maintained, the absence of American support with weaponry is being felt as a crucial issue.

China has raised prices of fiber optic cables, which are critical for drone control, by 2.5-4 times for Russian buyers, according to Russian media. At the beginning of 2025, G.652D fiber, used in telecommunications cables, cost 16 yuan ($2.33) per kilometer in China, and in January 2026, it already cost 40 yuan ($5.80) per km. In 2025, Russia purchased 10.5% of all fiber optics produced worldwide, although in previous years this figure never exceeded 1%. In absolute terms, Moscow purchased 60 million km of fiber optic cable last year. At present, Russia does not have its own fiber optic production, and the only enterprise, Optical Fiber Systems in Saransk, was shut down after a series of drone attacks in April-May 2025. 📹: A web of fiber optic cables from drones in the forests of the Kharkiv region

🔺New: Hezbollah recently released footage of what Israeli security officials described as one of the largest and most coordinated drone assaults against Israel to date. Drop Site’s Sarmad Jawad and Murtaza Hussain break down what the videos reveal about the rapid transformation of Lebanon’s asymmetric resistance. The footage shows Hezbollah deploying a swarm of low-cost fiber-optic FPV drones to strike Israeli military targets including fuel tanks, armored positions, turrets, and communications infrastructure with striking precision and relatively small explosive payloads. Secondary drones then appear to conduct real-time battle damage assessments, confirming hits and documenting successful strikes that Israeli military censorship has in the past kept out of public view. The segment explores how cheap, commercially adaptable drone systems are increasingly able to penetrate or overwhelm expensive conventional Israeli defenses. Murtaza Hussain describes it as the “Temu-ification of war” — a battlefield shift where low-cost technology is eroding the monopoly conventional militaries once held over precision strike capabilities.

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

⚡️❗️Compact anti-drone air defense systems designed to counter small strike drones and FPVs are now entering Ukrainian frontline units and seeing real combat use. The system autonomously detects, tracks, and calculates the trajectory of enemy UAVs, with the operator only needing to confirm the engagement with a single button press. Importantly, the technology is capable of countering fiber-optic drones, which are immune to electronic warfare systems. The K-2 Brigade became the first to deploy the turret in combat conditions. The system is now reportedly in use across more than 10 Ukrainian units on key frontline sectors. 🎥 The video shows real combat footage of the turret engaging enemy drones.

🚨BREAKING 🇱🇧🇮🇱 Hezbollah hit an Israeli armored transport near Shomera with a drone strike, wounding 12 soldiers and setting the vehicle on fire before nearby artillery shells started cooking off. The bigger issue: fiber-optic guided drones are becoming a serious problem for Israeli air defenses. Unlike RF-guided systems, they don't emit signals that can be jammed or spoofed. The drone flies on a physical wire connection, and most interception systems aren't built for that. Hezbollah has clearly noticed and they're leaning into it. Source: Times of Israel

⚡️🇺🇦🇷🇺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.

"Our solution, the advanced technology, and the safety system built into it outwit what you have in Ukraine. " - BabaSky Technologies Two things stand out. First, the drone uses a fibre optic guidance system, transmitting data through a physical glass fibre tether rather than radio signals, making it completely immune to electronic jamming. Also, designing explosive munitions for FPV drones is an incredibly complex engineering challenge that requires a high level of technical expertise and precision. That they were able to pull it off is a clear demonstration of their advanced capabilities. All made in Nigeria.
