A storehouse of new technologies is being seen in the ukraine war. At the same time, now ukraine has been seen with such a weapon that it can change the map of the entire war. Actually, according to the BBC report, the Ukrainian city of Rodinske is about 15 kilometers north of war-torn Pokrovsk. russia has been trying to capture this city from the south since last year, but the Ukrainian army has so far prevented russia from advancing. Therefore, russia has changed its strategy and started cutting supply routes to surround the city. In the last two weeks, when diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire in ukraine failed, russia has intensified its aggression and has carried out the biggest attacks since January.
Fiber optic drones
The newest threat in this war is fiber optic drones. Several kilometers long optic cable is attached below these drones which controls the drone. Its advantage is that it cannot be stopped by electronic jamming. When drones started being used extensively in this war, both sides installed electronic warfare systems but with the advent of fiber optic drones, this protection has been eliminated. Currently russia is ahead in this technology while ukraine is trying to increase production.
According to drone pilot Venia of the 68th Jagar Brigade, "Russia started using it before us when we were still testing. These drones can even enter inside houses and find targets." Fiber optic drones are slow and the cable can get stuck in trees but due to Russia's extensive use, this danger for the soldiers has increased. Due to this danger, soldiers remain in their places for a long time.
russia has recently captured some areas but it will not be easy to take the Donetsk region completely. ukraine has made a strong comeback but it needs a constant supply of weapons and ammunition.
