How Hezbollah’s fibre optic drones test Israel’s sophisticated radar system
Summary
Hezbollah has started using drones connected by fibre optic cables to control attacks against Israeli forces. These drones avoid detection by Israel’s radar and electronic systems because they do not use wireless signals and are made of materials that are hard to detect. Israeli forces are struggling to defend against these new drones, which have caused casualties.Key Facts
- Hezbollah uses drones controlled by a fibre optic cable instead of wireless signals.
- The cable can extend up to 30 kilometers (about 18.6 miles).
- These drones are made of fibreglass, making them hard to detect by radar or heat sensors.
- The drones can bypass Israel's electronic jamming and tank defense systems like "Trophy."
- Hezbollah operators use live video from the drones to aim at weak points such as tank tracks.
- A recent attack using these drones killed one Israeli soldier and wounded several others.
- Israeli forces have no effective military solution yet and have started using nets to try to catch the drones.
- Weather conditions and the fragility of the fibre optic cable can limit the drones’ effectiveness.
