Hezbollah adopts a new weapon: Fiber-optic drones, used widely in the war in Ukraine
Hezbollah has launched a new weapon against northern Israel in the latest round of fighting: small drones controlled with fiber-optic cables the width of dental floss that avoid electronic detection.These drones — used widely in the war in Ukraine — are small, hard to track and lethal. Drones killed an Israeli soldier in southern Lebanon and injured at least a dozen others in northern Israel on Thursday, two seriously. A soldier and defense contractor were killed in Lebanon earlier this week.

Those can't have much of a range then.

A “fiber-optic drone” (more precisely, a tethered drone that uses a fiber-optic cable for communication) isn’t limited by radio range the way normal drones are—the limiting factor is the length and handling of the cable itself.
In practice:
- Typical range: about 100 meters to 1 kilometer (330 ft to ~0.6 miles)
- Advanced or specialized systems: can reach several kilometers (2–10+ km), but this is uncommon and technically challenging
- Experimental/military setups: may go even farther, but they run into serious physical constraints
- Cable weight: Fiber cable adds drag and weight, which limits altitude and distance
- Spooling system: The drone must carry or deploy the cable smoothly without tangling
- Power (if tethered for power too): Heavier cables reduce range
- Environment: Obstacles, wind, and terrain can snag or strain the cable
