🕸This is what the legendary Serebryany Forest in the 63rd Brigade's area of responsibility looks like now – all covered with fiber optics from drones.

Can you imagine how many of them are flying here? And what this landscape will look like after the war is over

I've been wondering if those fiber reels are glass or plastic. Glass wouldn't be a big deal when it breaks down but covering whole forests with pieces of plastic is a bit another matter.

War obviously isn't the environmentally friendly thing in the first place but that's just something what I've wondered with these videos.

Uncoated glass. The fiber they use is has to be extremely lightweight so that a drone can carry a useful length, and they're single-use anyway so they don't need any plastic cladding for reinforcement.
