Optic fiber drones now are faster than motorcycles

Shut up, you Shia disbeliever.

that's not the worst anymore. russians are using ai controlled drones with hunter-killer features, meaning they go after "targets" on their own and can't be jammed either.

it's ober. skynet won.

Up to 20 kilometers.

They have shorter range tho
They also a lot heavier than wireless drones cause they need to carry the entire cable and spool, which reduce amount of explosives it can carry.

That was /ktards, and so far everything they laughed at has been implemented not only in Ukrainian army, but seems to be also coded in NATO standards

drones are still useless during rain.
one thing our army could do is put some shit in the air to cause rain for every time we are planning to advance.

The powers that be have a new system that has been in the development for decades now, ready to be rolled out in the coming years. It will operate in parallel starting sometime this year and by the next decade it will be fully operational as the Agenda 2030 goals are slowly being implemented.
There will be no collapse, no violence, no uprising, no world war, no revolution, no killing of jews or politicians or other such fantasies. Instead there will be law & order, compliance and total surveillance until the very end. AI will be at the center of it all.

The Great Reset is inevitable.

Can't the cable be entangled and stuck if you go through bushes and trees??

well, statistically, this is obvious to any intelligent person. because, the system relies on adoption, and how many people adopt, as opposed to conserve old ways? 8/10 according to my estimates. that means over time, new systems are made basically required for all people, because the hold outs get over taken. that means on a long enough time scale, there is not enough to dissent. this is exponantially accelerated by the fact humans make efficient decisions by appealing to social consensus, which has been hijacked via manufactured consent by the powers that be

fiber optic

Clue is in the name retard

well i guess imagining a drone dragging a cable seems to defeat the purpose of a drone, so it didnt occur to me but thanks for pointing it out

that doesn't seem like something russia is capable of developing desu

1. The motorcycle guy had to slow down because of the terrain, so it's not a fair comparison of outright speed.
2. The fibre optic cable could be severed or entangled (eg. if the drone is led in a circle), so I don't think this is all that great.

Trump said Ukraine has only suffered 400,000 casualties but they need to lower conscription age to 18 and kidnap every male between 25 and 60 they see on the street, despite having a population of 35 million. Putin said Ukraine casualties are 5 times higher than Russian ones, which means 3 to 4 million casualties. The real number is likely in the middle, in the range of 2 million.

Optic fiber drones now

put objects between you and the drone, make tight turns, avoid fleeing in a straight line

The cable reel is on the drone, so tangling it won't stop it from continuing onward until it lets out all the cable

The spool is on the drone itself. The "used up" cable is simply left behind.

but the wire itself is easily damaged

No, because the spool is located on drone itself, not by a pilot, so even if it get hooked by a branch the spool will just continue to roll out from this place

How does that work? It's draging a fibre behind it which somehow doesn't get tangled in the undergrowth?

Optic fiber

Silly chuds. All you have to do is to arm soldiers with scissors.

True. You could probably try intentionally cut it as well, but it's problematic to do while being chased by a flying grenade.

Roughly one third the length of muh dick.

Smart. So the running guy could have doubled back and snapped the cable.

Vietnam

So 1 cm?

Tough to sever the floppy, un-tensioned cable when the drone is actively trying to explode you. I suppose you'd wanna run in as wide a circle as you can so you double back on where the cable is already draped over the ground.

might not be worth the risk if the drone has both radio and wire and theres no radio jamming

run around tall tree

cable gets tangled

It's over

technological advancement always rapidly increases during war, and russia has a heap of smart people.

china will probably get it from them.

Tough to sever the floppy, un-tensioned cable

the signal travels through glass core

it is about your mum's mileage.

it is tiny. hair width almost.

lol. Jew glowie.

Why do you spend your time shilling such a message of hopelessness? How does it benefit you? Or anyone?

They will be vanquished. The time comes.

doesn't matter, the drone just pulls the generator it's plugged into with it.

never in my widlest dreams i'd imagine something as retarded as fiber optic cable from a quadcopter would be the tool to beat signal jamming

I imagine they're using polymer cores for the flexibility

well you are a nigger lover so theres that.

drone itself is a retarded type of weapon to begin with.

so in this particular situation posted ITT the guy who run left into the bushes could've saved the motorcycle guy if he wasnt a pussy right?

That shit significantly improved effectiveness of drones

do russians have access to it in industrial scale?

Possibly, assuming there was jamming active in the area.

even if so. they def get cut by an average mavic drone blade. its just hard to hit them like that. im sure its their weakness though. even if you had like a handheld light device i feel like you could overtake their signals with outside interference.

so if he losses the cable he switches to radio?
are you sure about it?

-ACK

lmmfao

never in my widlest dreams i'd imagine something as retarded as fiber optic cable from a quadcopter would be the tool to beat signal jamming

wire guided missiles are 80 years old now

Not sure, but I assume that China produce an assload and would be happy to sell it to them. Along with all the other drone components they use.

if a guy on motorcycle was smart he would do a few loops around the trees around him - that how you counter fiber optic drones.

Why would you not have both? It'd be more difficult to source drone components that don't have radio bullshit already on board

but the wire itself is easily damaged

not really. it's like a fishing wire. very resistant

niggers we produce everything. your little shitholes are decades behind us in every area.

Well you're a nigger, your "people" didn't discover the wheel until european colonization in the 1800s

the exterior is separate from the signal carrying portion

if the cable reel is on drone it wouldnt
unless you hope it crashes into tree or something but its defence against any drone

Ukraine is instructing troops to hide in trees cause optic cable drones get tangled in them. A ukraine instructor admitted this was a guess and was not based on any real world experience.

Possibly. But you need some discipline and training to respond to drone attacks by looking for a thin cable lying around somewhere, which might not be the one to cut, and while you might be targeted by the second drone.

you can just kink a normal fiber optic cable to break the core

he doesn't know about my dog swarm

make like 12 at a time

they automatically track the enemy

bite

can be reused

what was the original demoralization, and how is that tirade not demoralizing?
I agree with it - glowies are the worst of cancer - but its demoralizers demoralizing demoralizers. If it were a closed system of glowies fellating one another into oblivion that would be great, but you're both doing it in public

you know some atgms are controlled by wires like tow instead of laser beam or tv guidance. its same logic.

Shotguns exist you faggots. You don't even have to be a sniper either.

How are these able to turn around trees??? Wouldn't the fiber get tangled?

low latency

People realize wireless is faster, right?

Killing people in war is now like playing a video game

Where did it all go so wrong?

they arc around objects laying the cable behind them

Dogs that bark don't bite and you've been barking for a long time. Makes no difference to me or the powers that be. I know you won't do shit and they know you won't do shit. You are not a threat to the system, never was and never will be.

circle of life, mogs optical fibre drones they just tangle up.

its strong, they just unwind more fiber

extremely different operational conditions. TOWs and the such are pointed in the actual direction of the enemy before firing. drones have to find and pursue their enemy like it's a scooby doo cartoon.

Neither Russia or Ukraine have the technology industry to build advanced export controlled radios. Let's be real here.
China is, but they're targeting mass market and don't want sanctions.

drive in circles around building and the fiber drone will get stuck

break the cable when you circle back to it

just cut the cable

look it up. it is tiny you will not be able to see it.

its attached to a flying object thats flying at you with an armed grenade

war never changes

youtube.com/watch?v=Hr08yqRgbRA&t=22

so enemy couldnt sabotage it through radio signals for example
or otherwise you need additional software that could tell if the cable has been cut off so it can switch automaticaly to radio waves without falling ew otherwise

How do you even counter these sorta things? You'll need guns on robots with AI to shoot these the moment they appear.

That's not how that works

How do you even counter these sorta things?

at strategic and industrial level, the drones are only suited for tactical maneuvers and require information on movements of the enemy, missile spam them so hard the drone units operate in an information vacuum

or otherwise you need additional software that could tell if the cable has been cut off so it can switch automaticaly to radio waves without falling ew otherwise

You're right, this is an insurmountable hurdle

Shotguns work

Please explain why shooting the drone with a shotgun is a stupid idea

you cant dream tho lol

Should be a good skeet hunting sport. Replace clay pigeons with drones. I think people would wake up fast how hard it is.

What? You mean shoot missiles at the drones or the units operating them? That's impossible.

i am able to see ti tho

it is not that is what they do.
it is still hard to hit because drone is fast and relatively small.
you do not have much time to do it.

be-cuz u jelly

for a drones thats supposed to be light as possible and deliver the biggest possible explosive it is

Yeah can't have software weighing these drones down

He's right though. The wire seems pretty dumb when just doing fhss over a very wide band would likely be sufficient. They don't control the radios they use though because they're chink shit that complies with various radio regulations.

The reality again is both Ukraine and Russia are joke shithole countries.

I've seen drunk rednecks with shotguns nail small birds mid flight for entertainment. Clearly you faggots have skill issues, skills worse than drunk, overweight rednecks.

So, what I'm hearing is EOD suit plus a fucking long whipper snipper.

the drone operators don't know where to fly the drones when everyone with a radio is dead

At best you have a few seconds to aim and pull the trigger. Sure you can get it right and succeed.
But survival instict would most likely force you to run. Also aiming at a bomb flying straight to your face is not a easy task.

you need processors to process the additional software
retarded pajeets tried doing it with boeing max by adding couple tweaks which ended up having its computers overloaded which caused shutdown and planes were flying stright into ground instead of horizontaly to the point they had to remove them from the market
because the computers lacked power to process the new software
and new software was just about reacting to situation and positioning flaps accordingly

there was an exhibition where they showed it off. I would not be able to see it in real life.
maybe if the conditions are right like on your picture I would be.

it is like 1-2 millimeters thin.

birds fly slower and they do not fly at you.

run around tree

A nice trail back to the operator's nest.

hedge trimmer

How would you find the unit operating the recon drones? Also missiles are way too expensive to just use on 2-3 guys.

Yea, drunk rednecks sitting in lawn chairs chugging beers are faster like The Flash. Seriously, I really don't give a shit if you Russkies get droned to death by some limp dick zogbot. I would have tactically nuked Ukraine already myself, at a minimum destroyed every power plant in Ukraine.

Why not nuke the manufacturer as a warning.

Also missiles are way too expensive to just use on 2-3 guys.

bomb the troop trains

Why did he turn left instead of right?
He was actually gaining distance until that point.

Also, are these the famed Ukrainian motorcycle special forces warriors I read about?

babie lato is thiner i think
or whatever you call it
those spider webs flying around
if you see drone flying by you should easily be able to find the cable as long as it is not chasing you at least or you are not under fire

run around tall tree

for about 20 kilometers or so, good plan Stavros.

missiles are way too expensive

order 100 000 of them instead of 200 at a time

these things are slow as fuck. Every quadcopter I've owned in the past 10 years has been capable of bursts of well over 100mph and sustained speeds of 50-60mph at low throttle settings. Based on how I've seen these optically controlled multirotors fly, it seems your best counter would be to double back a few times, because the optic line seems to limit its speed and maneuverability unlike the RF controlled ones which you absolutely cannot outmaneuver.

I was waiting to see something like private LTE being used with a modem that had a huge selection of possible frequency bands with multiple redundant connections. But I think they will make the jump to ai control sooner. Some of the ASICs being made are nuts. The algos for image processing for something like an industrial process are incredibly good, so I assumed they have been trained for chasing soldiers, etc. Like they need to be careful with them, but the Ukrainians don't give a shit. They'll try anything.

Not just speed of photon vs speed of electron

It's speed of photon through glass vs speed of electron through air

Difference is about 100,000km/s

well maybe one day you will :D

Usually the simplest shit beats the most complicated shit like the T34 vs the overcomplicated Panzer that has to be shipped back for repairs.

funnily enough it was the Ukrainians that talked about autonomous hunter-killer drones first
some American dude even moved a startup there

guess Russkies didn't want a technological gap

The first guy in the video that escaped on foot could have possibly saved the guy on the motorcycle by cutting the cable.

speed of electron through air

huh

by the laws of probability you'll be first tho

long enough to fuck your ass up

loud kek

These are stock consumer drones they've plugged a cable into and strapped an explosive onto anon. They aren't being custom manufactured with specific boards and components for each task in order to save tens of grams of weight tops.

Usually the simplest shit beats the most complicated shit like the T34 vs the overcomplicated Panzer

the early T-34s originally were fielded without radios making them significantly tactically inferior due to reliance on signal flags

it's a big cable

That's something that anyone with enough resources is capable of. Doesn't even need all this new gen ai bullshit. Standard A* search will do the job in o(n) time

We'll propose a new travelling salesman dilemma.

A man named Djewkstra needs to get from A to Z in the shortest time possible, because time is money. He has to visit people's homes to collect interest for him loaning them his Cryptocurrency called Shekelcoin. Create an algorithm to solve the shortest possible path every time, so we know where to place the land mines, because his behaviour has been observed to be highly predictable.

What's stopping china from making 10 million of these and just using AI to exterminate an entire nation then move in within days?

Microwave weapon systems are being developed and some available already

excatly he could have run through some trees and hung the thing up , bad move running in a straight line IMO

so they likely lack processing power/software for additional radio/fiber cable control and once the cable is cut the contact is lost

Forcefields will be invented in our lifetimes.

Why didn't the other guy who ran into the bushes just cut the cable after the drone had passed?

cable leads back to operator

Easy to counter drone.

Nothing. Good thing they only represent 90% of the globes drone manufacturing capacity.

shut up, your cables are getting snipped your cameras smashed and your cell towers sawn down. first the cables which fucks your cameras and then the rest follows.

Its not plastic

Why would that be the case? They are chink drones that fly by radio control just fine off the shelf. All they've done is plug it in so that it works while being jammed.

because if it gets input from 2 sources at the same time the jamming of one of them will jam it anyway unless you have software that shifts between 2 inputs based on some algorithm that those chink drones dont have
so they need to remove the antena and replace it with fiber optic cable

i've been 3d printing drones capable of 140km/h with 30 sec ext log ass/rad ass since 15
AI is not your friend fren

I find it hard emto believe that a drone, a flying object is useful when it has a fucking cable attached to it. Whats the range on that?

The reel is on the drone so it can wrap the tree in fiber cable 20x and still keep going. It’s such an effective and simplistic design and there’s zero counters for it.

what is tow

are you a nigger?

Fibre optics use light or photons.

Wireless communications via rf is measured by the speed of electrons through air.

how big is this reel of wire being carried by the drone satan? is it as large as your dick?

So they write two lines of code that switch off the radio when it is getting a lan signal and switch it back on when that signal is lost. This isn't the absurd technical hurdle that you seem to think it is.

i already explained to you why it might not be possible dumbass
thats why i asked if you are sure those drones have capability to switch to radio after cable is being cut
but apparently not

No you need straight line top speeds. That drone weighs probably like 1 or 2lbs. It has zero problems with stopping and starting on a dime. The guy who died in OP’s pic was doing just fine until he decided to go off road. I guess he was hoping to make it to heavily wooded area. That’s the other weakness - trees. Drones suck in the forest.

read the thread damnit
the wire usually leads somewhere tho

My point is a T34 could be repaired in the field. A Panzer has to be sent back to Germany.

subcontract to the lowest bidder

expect efficiency

words words words

You haven't been watching the videos, I see. It clearly turns and accelerates a LOT slower than the RF controlled quads do.

gotta be a new sport we can invent from this.

counters your new wunderwaffen

Why would they not have the capacity to switch from wired to radio mode? You haven't explained shit, that is incredibly fucking simple. Spend $20 on temu and you could try it yourself.

so ruskis are doing perfidy again I see

Dogs that bark don't bite and you've been barking for a long time. Makes no difference to me or the powers that be. I know you won't do shit and they know you won't do shit. You are not a threat to the system, never was and never will be.

This is a fine example of a barking goyim. He could snip the cables and destroy the surveillance infrastructure anytime he wants to, he just chose not to for some reason. It's always "soon", in "2 weeks" and "you will see" type of barking.

surely your best chance is to get among the trees and if it's a fly by wire then it won't even be able to chase you round the trees

use cable to stop jamming

just switch to RF

kikes fuck off

oooooi blyaaaaaa-ACK

here’s your 50 robux maam

Is it worth it?

Only Ukraine releases drone footage

yea i did explain it to you clinical retard
when you replace antena with fiber optic cable its still cheap chink drone
if you have to rewrite software and possibly replace the processors you basicaly have to redesign the drones itself and spend shitload of resources to modernize all of them ignoring the fact those parts dont grow on trees and are not as easy to produce as fiber optic cable alone
so it quickly stops being economicaly viable but what's the point explaining common logic to complete retard

he's half wong, and half write muhammud

<sumtingwong

leave bradley aloone

only faggruzzia orcs use bikes

I will defeat the kikes by posting memes

Keep barking maggot.

you can outrun them on a motorbike
you just need to take a lot of turns and twists hoping the optic wire will get tangled up instead of just flooring it to go straight

New drone counter measure

howcome the fiber optic cables dont get snagged?
I see a lot of trees that could cause problem

That comes after the impact

Why would you need to replace the antenna?

U still can hide in thick bushes though

Until they send a thermite drone your way to simply burn those bushes down

piggers using copecycles

uhh ukiesissies?? I think we deserve an explanation..

The wire spool is on the drone, it doesn't matter if it gets tangled

you need to remove the antena so it doesnt interfere with optic cable otherwise you need new software and everything associated with tit

There was a british tv program posted here where the reporter held a bundle of the fiber, and it seemed to be glass. Which makes sense; glass attenuates less.

it keeps unwinding if I understand correctly.

ah that explains it

I’m talking about motorcycles straight line speed vs your average drone. The lighter something is, the more agile it will be.

pretty sure its enough to squeeze it in half so there wouldnt be the loop
its elastic but break in even one point stops the signal

Good luck trying to find spider silk optic fiber in a field to cut while a drone hones in on you kek

ironic the the latest advancement in remote death technology is a toy i played with when i was a kid 40 years ago

you need to remove the antena so it doesnt interfere with optic cable

You are a fucking retard

all top military technologies currently were developed in 60-80s which is when we stopped improving because of sexual revolution

you are a fucking retard and you cant refute a single word i say only share your worthless opinions no one cares about

Fibre optic

So the thing leaves a literal trail back to the operator? Sounds ingenious.

Mother fucker turn up at my door and I'll fucking make you famous, you know nothing see nothing and talk shit, all your shit can be fucking wrecked and its already getting wrecked in London everyday, and theres fuck all you can do about it, faggot.

So instead of talki g shit here and trying to fuck with peoples heads, jump back on your boyfriends dick you gay cunt.

Looks like the best way for Russians to avoid getting tuned into red mist and chunks by an fpv drone is to just stay the fuck out of Ukraine in the first place. Hopefully they'll do that, will spare us all their faggy whining about muh warcrimes also.

You could juust thrash around with a machete as the drone circles.

20 kilometers long

Currently western ukrainian yids (the ones with the blue/yellow taping akin to the ghost rider on vid) are sending Ukrainians (aka Russians) to their death, so your post rings true in a way

There have been posts here that describe the front lines as being covered in the stuff, like a giant spider web. Now follow back one strand 20km. With other drones overhead.

you have to wait in hiding for drone to pass by and run for it

Another thing you stupid nigger, I post it so people know what to do, I dont live in a fucking shitty and thats where you are going to have the most problems when you start in with your bullshit.

laser pen cuts optic cables

You guys are trolling

dem flag

dem post

No. I think this is a new form of warfare that emerged from new tech, like the trench warfare in WWI. Then you would have been suicidal to just go 'over the top'. imho tech will break this stalemate, and sooner rather than later.

its totally serious
many submarines got the same trick with torpedos, and you can even control the torpedos

Except we're not.

en.defence-ua.com/industries/ukrainians_made_an_fpv_with_fiber_optic_cord_stretching_for_41_km-13327.html

Or a ww2 type flamethrower will fuck it up

Military off road motorcycles will not have a higher top speed than any modern quadcopter, unless the fiber line seriously slows the quad down. In this video, this thing seems to be going like 45mph, but it's hard to tell because camera angle. It almost looks like it's running nearly 0deg camera angle which seriously limits your speed because at any high angles you wind up looking at the ground. Optimal is like 30deg camera angle. Regardless, you aren't going to outrun it in a straight line on your shitty chinese dual sport or whatever they're riding.

Damn for some reason i really dislike this new tech.

russians made a cool thing? mykola, quick! claim the same but better threefold

I’m not even turning this shit political or anything but holy shit

No anon
Light is just a band of radio frequency that is visible
The speed of radio is the speed of light

Smart guy. Any military worth their weight would go after the operators and their production.

These guys fight for Jews though so they have their hands tied behind their backs when they fight and aren’t allowed to win wars.

So instead the zogbots come home crying about PTSD like little faggots and get mad at anyone who points out they fell for Jewish tricks and are retarded.

Wire guided munitions have been around for 40 yrs. TOW missiles for one- tech has just gotten better and cheaper.

I've seen something like this as an add for farming years ago. However, the drones were hunting and killing insects

Put a rocket engine on it and you'll have reinvented the TOW missile.

The jews are cowering in fear at your empty threats as we speak. Please stop, it's upsetting you more than it does them.

protip: it doesn't upset them at all, you are no threat to the system, never was never will be

For you

its a system and its being fucked and sawn down on the daily, your fucking losing the in every aspect of the propaganda, people are doing what they see fir and theres fuck all you can do to stop it. Eat shit faggot, you definately dont know wahts happening or your here to bolster the bullshit you spout and fuck with peoples heads making them think theres nothing they can do, WRONG!

Yhe first vid I saw of a weapon mounted to a drone was a remotely controlled revolver some anon put on ytube years ago. If I remember the anon got arrested for some bogus reason because this was new at the time and it confused them.

Wi-Fi is faster than optic fiber

Kys

Every fucking day your politicians are on the backfoot and climbing down because people are done with your supremacist bullshit and they are seeing you for what you are, bullshitters who's only hope is tech serfdom. We outed your bullshit everyone see's it now.

There seem to be 'rules' between the nuclear powers. The Russians and Chinese supplied arms in Korea and Vietnam. We supplied Afghanistan during soviet occupation. Its all proxy wars, sure, but MAD limits the range of responses, and that is baked in.

None of that is happening. The powers that be are simply changing the system like they do every couple of centuries, so to you, from your goyspective, it looks like things are actually changing when in reality nothing is changing.
You can't even take a shit without intelligence knowing you are on the shitter.

people are doing what they see fit

They are doing what they've always been doing and that's following their programming, besides that they all have jewish bills to pay every month including you.

Thats not fiber optics...

No its not.

Good luck finding a man brave enough to rush the tow line.

3. You are dumb.

wtf is that even? the drones have a wire and somehow don't get taken down instantly?

Hair-thin fiber optics cable would waft in the air and get stuck in the props as the drone goes up and down in altitude. Its BS.

Motherfucker i dont hide, I dont give a fuck what you think see or try to do. Your system is going to change or burn to the ground. And you know thats happened before, every single time you started in on the population you had to run and fucking hide so go bullshit someone else faggot

just dive into the bush
was he retarded?

Need net guns or shotguns

What are optic fiber drones, even? How do they even work? What is it about them that make them unjammable, exactly?

Google it yourself, Alexa.

So that drone was camera-operated? How long is that drone guy's cable, exactly?

it's like a bobbin at the drone end that lays out hair thin fibre as it flies along

Crazy war. I can't believe the people hsven't revolted yet. It took far less for the russians to revolt against the czar...

that doesn't seem like something russia is capable of developing desu

Svenanon, your average computer science/engineer university student could make the required modification. Machine vision is robotics 101 and some of the first you learn and only requires very cheap hardware

Why not just go back to medieval gimes and start carrying shields? Might as well, right?

I know..thats the only way it can be done..and a fiber optics cable that thin would be blown around by the slightest breeze. It would float in the air if you blew on it. The cable is too thin to be held down by its own weight.

it's over
for every problem there is a solution
for every shield you use they will invent a new sword that can penetrate it
progress marches on inexorably
all manmade horrors will be made manifest

Rusork mekboy stuck ATGM wire canister on drone, believed it would work and it did

Why not just move in teams of three or four? Two guys constantly on the lookout for drones, while the two other guys look for infantry?

ironic enough running from drones was not the standard tactic since the change of being hit is higher too

Nothing

drone warfare is psychotic. the war needs to end.

They have a fiber optic cable. A fucking plastic wire they has to stay connected in order for the signal to pass through. Un-Godly lengths of wire strew and abandoned across the battle field.

Im really wondering why they dont have mobile aim bots setup on the backs of those robot dogs. It has to be accurate enough by now no? A mini flak cannon on a robo dog under control of a sodier nearby?

If only there was some way to effectively bring down small flying objects

The fibre optic drones have more range apparently. The cable is stored on the drone and unspools behind it adding weight. But you don't need an antenna or amplifier and the battery saves a lot of juice. Radio range drops off with the square of the distance so the power the antenna needs increases massively at longer distances.

The fibre optic drones have more range apparently

There are new 40kn drones. Ukraine put a larger spool on theirs while Russia is operating a heavier drone carrying 4 normal fiber drones and lands closer to the area of operation, where it acts as a relay

yes you can’t. you just have a low iq. blast the cable with radar it has metal in it. it will induce a current and then everything breaks. ez pz. ur welcome russia. it requires sacrifice and logic since you will have to attack your own stuff sometimes

Blocks you're a path. Nothing personnel kid.

These drones move upwards of 100k/h and can maneuveur. If your cards are on shooting it down, you will fail more often than not.

blast the cable with radar

What are you talking about?

emf induction

This sounds like something a pussy ass jew, affraid of an uprising would write.

What now, cable boy?

emf induction

Into a piece of plastic? How much energy do you think it would require even if it was a metal cable? How big would this system be?

So the big drone can return to base and rearm after the smaller drones have been used? That's cool as fuck.

Can we not use aim bots yet? Put a rifle shot gun or even a mini flak cannon on a robo dog. Or hell give the soldier a gun with aimed bot installed so it can auto fire the shotgun shell when on target.

run behind drone and start swinging a sword :D
or run around tree

and more importantly you do not give out your location
because those fiber optics are a line you can trace back

That isn't what I saw in some stuff posted here. it was maybe ~0.5mm in dia. Bend radius was maybe 1-2". Thin but far from gossamer like you describe. There has been some video posted of the fiber being wound on reels by machines here.

you need high capacity full auto shotgun

Ypu think you are going to follow a trail of 10+ km in a place drones travel?

you can with another drone
it is not hard, lines are very visible

well then a wide scanning fucking laser with send it false signals if it bare fibre then wont it, laser spinning in a hedgehog configuration, leave the fuckers all around and make sure your no near them. Just logic things sometimes at least he came up with something.

Possibly, the issue then becomes the terrain and length of deluge.
It’s not an overtly retarded idea as rain also dogs optics all around and probably would shield mass infantry tactics as they went across a field, especially considering the Ukrainians don’t really have artillery to shift to.
The main problem I see with the issue is that anything mechanized is going to get stuck in the mud, especially if it’s something like 5 vehicles rutting the same track.
Secondary issue is now your soldiers are all wet and you have no way to get them dry. Better to catch the sniffles than to get blown up, though

Good post. This is terrifying stuff.
My only takeaway is that he place to stand and fight is at home when they try to recruit you.

Because it's controlled with a cable. You would need a scissor to break the contact with the operator.

Or a second drone.

I kind of doubt this drone was towing a fiber optic wire. That was a real long chase, and it started by turning a corner.

fiber optics have reflective film tube, and require a certain low angle to propagate a signal, a laser even if it went trough the film will not propagate

Cost to create
Cost to transport
We are not quite in metal gear land yet, and when you can field 20 soldiers for the price of one gimmick dog on rechargeable batteries, it’s not even a question which you choose to field

it is not hard, lines are very visible

No they aren't.

Steel, kevlar, special type of glass anti drone umbrellas. You heard it here first.

A cable? Just, like, backtrack and cut the cable?

That's not how fiber optics works. its total internal reflection. In these diagrams the outer cladding is not important to the function of the fiber.

see this video

just find a spider web tier cable while this drone is chasing you bro, it is that easy, i heard on redit it is possible to do bro

good luck!

Russians revolted against the tsar because he gave them the opportunity. Russian tsars were all brutally repressive, and the few that weren't were quickly killed off and replaced with ones that were. Nicholas II was no exception to this rule.

That is a ideal picture, the cable is visible because there is reflection from sunlight. That is a 1 in 1000 chance. I can't see any wire in that video

high angle ~90 degrees will not bounce the light up and down and not forward down the tube
they are giving example of 15 degrees and the light is reduced by a lot

ukrainians fighting tooth and nail to kill the closest thing they have to a sibling nation so that Kiev can be 90% nonwhite a century from now

there are trees wrapped in that thing in donbas

In that long interview with a Russian drone manufacturer he said the troops use a cordless drill to spool in the fiber optic cable after the drone is expended.
The cable breaks but that's after they've already spooled in 200-300 meters to cover their exact position.

Yes, tight bend radius makes it leak - but that is the entire point. light that is directed down the fiber has a slight angle with respect to the fiber and propagates with low attenuation.

Basically I'm saying that the mode of operation is not dependent on some sort of reflective coating of the fiber.

yeah, if you bunch it up, put it 50 cm from the camera you will see it. Not when it is chasing you at over 100k/h

the future of warfare is drones trying to chop each others string

i knew the future would be bleak, but i thought it would at least be cool

time to bring back the katanas...

It’s an interesting meta, really wouldn’t have expected things to go this way, but it makes a lot of practical fiscal sense. You think about the shear length of girthy cable laid across the sea floor between continents, it makes sense you could just scale that manufacturing capacity down for this utility. I had heard about the fiber optic drones but it sounded retarded until now. Completely btfo jammable drones… until local facial recognition AI on the mini drones can just lock in and continue forward on their own initiative through the jam

fiber drones are 4k 60pfs

How hard could it be it's 20km long, you'll see it eventually, I see spiderwebs all the time

How hard is it to believe when you have wire guided missiles that has a range of 8km?

The hard part is preventing another drone from splitting you into 2

Wouldnt net guns be more effective?

So the big drone can return to base and rearm after the smaller drones have been used? That's cool as fuck.

Yep

net guns are a joke
you need full auto shotguns

Just a normal walk in the park.

In some places entire supply roads are covered in net to stop drone attacks. It's so fucking weird, we have this mix of cheap high tech drones and absolute medieval age shit like net tunnels and armoured barns. I get the feeling there's going to be counter drone innovation that turns out to be completely game changing and simple soon. Maybe tactical umbrellas is it. Or pop up tents.

The videos are kind of deceptive. The drones are extremely far away (and quite small). They're just equipped with optics that make it much easier to focus on a target, and then the operator presses the "Go" button and the little shit accelerates to 9001km/h into your face from a km away.

maybe its just volume of artillery or multiple rocket system with some sort of new fragmenting warhead that cuts all the fiber in an area. I am not sure how that would be integrated into a combined arms assault or defense though.

maybe giving technology wings wasn't such a good idea bros

or one those rocket things that drag a rope of explosive like for demining, but longer range and lower force.

Imagine how much money you could make by recycling those wires.

zero
those are plastic

betcha its $0. one and done. may as well collect glass bottles.

what is it like mono carbon filament type stuff?

we see these strange things they fly around they have these flashing sender and receiver nodes they different colors

can't you just throw some of these at it

do russian soldiers even get guns anymore or do they send them to the front lines with shovels

Fog can defeat fiber optic.

They give russians a gun so they can kill themselves there

Looks to me like the only way to beat this is full body armor and defensive drones that attack offensive ones before they get in range.

The speed of electrons is quite slow. What's fast is the propagation of electromagnetic field in free space.
