Ukraine Develops New Technology to Counter Russian Drones

• A Kyiv startup has developed a pocket-sized receiver that allows Ukrainian troops to watch the video feeds of Russian drones.
• TechEx, a Ukrainian drone maker, questions whether extending the range of fiber-optic drones is worth the trade-offs.
• Fiber-optic drones have been flying farther, but longer cables add weight, potentially reducing payload capacity.
• Russian drones are moving towards digital video and AI-guided drones that emit no signals, which could limit the effectiveness of the new technology.
