FPV drones that use unshielded fiber-optic wire can still be jammed by lasers so all the the IDF had to do was to at least try that to have some level of survivability against them (since hezbollah drones are probably using lighter, unshielded fiber optic wire for cost and simplicity).

@ferrarilegends@poa.st @Terry@poa.st no you can't besides cutting the fiber and shining the laser straight into the end, you won't be able to cause any detectable amount of light at the other end, let alone enough to disrupt communication. i tested this with an optical power meter last time this was on the tl

you have to aim the laser at the drone first also I don't think they can afford to give lasers to everybody, especially in Ukraine.
