00:00We start with footage from a Russian drone that's lying in ambush, recording as a Ukrainian mosquito drone passes over
00:06its position,
00:07and it uses a high-powered laser to damage the fibers of the fiber-optic control cables,
00:11causing the Russian drone's feed to go from normal to disconnected in just one second, can't it?
00:17Apparently, laser causes the cable to absorb a large amount of light, which quickly turns into heat,
00:22damaging the control cable, which are usually thin filaments of glass or polymers surrounded by a thin protective layer.
00:30We'll have to see if this solution becomes widespread in the coming months or if other more mechanical solutions are
00:36attempted.
