      /cred to bypass signal jamming I guess. Wire-guided missiles work like this with miles of fiber optic line. I just can’t imagine the logistics of such a cable working on a drone. Truly noncredible

        To be absolutely clear TOWs use copper wire.

          If they wanted to be absolutely clear, they should definitely use optical fiber over copper

          That is economic assistance to rebuild after the battle. Cash for copper, it’s got to be safer than robbing substations.

        If you went with copper, sure you’ll be even more limited in range, but you could send power too, so it would be trade off.

        Please be considerate and pick up your drones leavings. Let’s keep this battlefield clean

      Tethers can’t be jammed. Electronic warfare is a serious concern.

        They most certainly can be.

          And how would you go about jamming a tether?
