I understand that the drum is fixed to the drone, not the operator. It spools off a couple of clicks of ultra thin fibreoptic cable that is cut of by the operator once the drone is detonated or lost. So the Ukrainian landscape by now is crossed with these cables adding to the environmental damage already happening by conventional means? Is there any long time data or study on future risks to the population? As far as I understand, broken FO can easily break the skin and enter the body and you certainly don't want it in your food chain.

Currently fiberoptic drones are not that popular, used mostly by russians specifically in Kursk.
