The article talks about signal jammers, but as far as I know most drones there are remote controlled using fiber for exactly that reason?

From what I understand Ukraine is not using many fiber drones because there are other disadvantages. They can have them, but they mostly choose to use radio anyway. Russia is using a lot of fiber drones.
