the Ukrainian’s are always thinking out of the box, looking for solutions.
This could help the military with the Russian drone problem.

Don’t fiber optic cables leave a trail back to the operator?
Robin’s iris drone radar for detection, shotgun drones for taking them out
The tl;dr : microphone array and camera + infrared illumination.
>John said that the company has developed a low-cost solution to find fiber-optic drones. One element of this system is an array of dozens of microphones that can be focused on one point in the sky to listen for any nearby drones. The second element is an unfocused infrared laser that highlights any object in a certain area of the sky while a camera records any reflected light coming back.

From what I understand, it only detects them, it doesn’t shoot them down (yet).
Nothing will be “unjammable” it just hasn’t been figured out yet. They will figure it out.
Need a cable cutter drone. Or 2 in a pair either a string between. Then catch fiber and continue forward and up until fiber all rolled out.
create a drone which has a chainsaw and cut the wired
In the field, provide units with more semiauto shotguns or net guns seems to be the best way to take them out in close contact.
Alternative is to have more drone hunters assigned to a sector. Drone hunters can be shotgun armed drones or net shooter drones. Hunter drones can be propositioned further out in the perimeter and activated when needed for intercept.
Surveillance of a sector can be done with wired drones utilizing thermal cameras for detection. Wired surveillance drones presumably would allow for longer hover time, better vid quality and avoid jamming.
It’s essentially setting up a team of drone hunters assigned to protect a sector. What’s missing is how many and what frequency of these Fibre optic fpv drones are sent by the enemy.
A drone operated though fiber cables is unjammable… but it is also an expensive and really bad drone. So I’d say that is a defeat in itself.
Need a flying lawnmower to cut some cord
Teach birds how to cut these wires
