Hard to detect, harder to stop: Hezbollah's new drone tactic against Israel
Hezbollah has begun using fibre-optic drones against northern Israel, evading electronic jamming and posing a new challenge to Israeli troops. The drones are controlled by a thin fibre-optic cable, making them hard to detect and potentially lethal.
Hezbollah has launched fibre-optic drones against northern Israel, evading electronic jamming. The drones are controlled by a thin cable, making them hard to detect. Israeli air defences have been successful against larger rockets and drones, prompting Hezbollah to use fibre-optic drones. Israel believes the drones are locally made and easy to produce. The Israeli military is working on technological solutions, including adding nets and cages to military vehicles. Experts say militaries must intercept the drones or find a way to snip the fibre-optic cable.
