A Kursk, l’Ucraina ha lottato perché la Russia aveva troppi droni in fibra ottica che non potevano essere inceppati. L’Ucraina ha bisogno dello stesso, ma non ne hanno abbastanza. Questo è Berlino, un operatore di droni gur, che spiega cosa sono i droni in fibra ottica. Abbiamo abbastanza $ per comprare 9. Ci piacerebbe farne 10!

This is a video from Berline, a foreign drone operator in GUR. He is explaining what fiber optic drones are. They have a fiber optic cable meaning they CANNOT be jammed even if Russia has good drone jammers. They are therefore far more likely to make it to their target.

According to Berlin and a lot of other soldiers, Ukraine didn’t struggle in Kursk due to the loss of US intelligence but rather because Russia had too many fiber optic drones. Ukraine doesn’t have the same. These are problems Berlin flagged for us:

1. Most NGOs don’t provide or won’t fundraise for fiber optic drones because they cost about $950 vs the $400-$500 for an FPV.

2. An FPV drone has about a 20-30% chance of getting to the target. A fiber optic drone an 80-90% chance. It’s not perfect because they can be shot down or hit an object but still, chances are much better.

We decided to help GUR fundraise for these and right now we have raised enough for about 9 of them at $950 each. We will order this week and would love to get more. To donate go to [protectavolunteer.com](http://protectavolunteer.com) and choose Fiber Optics on the paypal. All amounts add up. We had donations from $10 to $5,000 for these so far and EVERYTHING adds up together.

I am curious. Does each drone come with a spool of cable and it just pays out as the thing flies? I imagine it is something lighter weight than the plastic and kevlar layer coated stuff I am used to working with commercially.
