Fiber-optic drones are unmanned aerial vehicles controlled via fiber-optic cables rather than radio signals, making them resistant to electronic jamming and interception. First deployed extensively by Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, these systems have now been adopted by other armed groups, including Hezbollah, raising questions about how drone technology fundamentally alters modern warfare tactics and defensive strategies. The technology's immunity to conventional electronic countermeasures represents a significant shift in military doctrine that could reshape combat operations globally.
