First fiber‑optic FPV drone reaches Kharkiv, prosecutors say

Ukraine’s Kharkiv region reports a Russian FPV drone reached the city via a fiber‑optic cable for the first time since the full‑scale invasion. The drone hit a tree in the Kyivskyi district around 3 p.m. on Feb. 25; no casualties were reported, and the Kharkiv regional prosecutor’s office opened a pre‑trial investigation. Fiber‑optic FPV drones extend range and can evade electronic warfare, with countermeasures mainly limited to physical destruction or obstruction; Kharkiv’s proximity to Russian‑occupied areas makes this development notable in the evolving drone warfare.

"Breakthrough: Researchers Achieve Fiber Optic Connection 1.2 Million Times Faster Than Broadband"

Researchers at UK's Aston University have achieved a data transfer rate of 301 terabits per second using a single fiber optic cable, which is 1.2 million times faster than the average American broadband connection. By accessing new wavelength bands normally unreachable in existing optical fibers, the team utilized an optical processor to access the never-before-used E- and S-bands, achieving these speeds without the need for new, high-tech fiber optic lines. This breakthrough could potentially allow internet providers to significantly increase standard speeds without overhauling current fiber optic infrastructures.
