After the appearance of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable, Ukraine also began to equip its units with similar drones. The video shows various Ukrainian models of drones controlled via fiber optic cable, including large agrodrones like "Baba Yaga". The advantages of fiber optic drones are invulnerability to electronic warfare, the ability to fly low above the ground and fly inside shelters. Disadvantages include a smaller combat load of the drone, the need to plan a route and take into account the terrain, shorter flight range, and an experienced operator is also required.

Several models of fiber optic drones have already appeared in Ukraine, one of them is the drone "Khizhak RebOFF" from 3DTech. Now the Ukrainian drone "Khizhak RebOFF" is capable of flying a distance of up to 10 km, with a warhead from 900 grams to 2 kilograms, it is planned to improve the characteristics of the drones. Now it is inferior in characteristics to the Russian drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", its flight range reaches 20 km. Also in Ukraine they use German drones of the company HIGHCAT and other drones. The price of a drone on a fiber optic cable is on average about 500 euros.
