Defence-trade reporting from the Israel-Lebanon line

Reports that fibre-optic FPVs, first matured in Ukraine, have reached southern Lebanon, flying with no radio link to jam and almost no radar or thermal signature. Israeli officials are scrambling for a counter to a $300–400 weapon that nullifies their EW and air-defence edge.

“The weapons fly with no radio link to jam, throw almost no radar or thermal signature, and unspool a hair-thin fibre carrying video to an operator a dozen miles away.”
