Russia Targets Ukraine's Power Grid With Fiber-Optic FPVs

Russian fiber-optic FPV drone footage from May 31, 2026, shows a precision strike on the Konka 35 kV substation in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine, destroying two power transformers. The Russian fiber-optic FPV drones navigate through anti-drone netting installed to protect critical substation equipment, demonstrating the limitations of passive hardening against small, agile kamikaze platforms. Guided by a physical fiber-optic cable immune to Ukrainian electronic warfare and RF jamming, these Russian fiber-optic FPV systems represent a scalable, low-cost method of deep infrastructure interdiction that has expanded significantly across the front in 2025–2026. The footage highlights the ongoing drone adaptation cycle as Ukraine deploys netting, interceptors, and its own fiber-optic platforms in response.
