The war between Russia and Ukraine has ushered in a new era in military technology, where fiber-optic-controlled drones play a crucial role. These innovative machines save lives, with their development supported by Ukrainian engineers and soldiers.

The drone operators from the Ukrainian national guard’s Kara Dag Brigade may not have realized they were committing a profound act of political defiance when, on or just before Tuesday, they hunted down a Russian drone team on the snowy battlefield just south of Vodyane in eastern Ukraine’s southern Donetsk Oblast.
