Russia's use of fibre optic drones is reshaping the battlefield in Ukraine, particularly in towns like Rodynske near Pokrovsk. These drones, immune to electronic jamming due to physical cable links, allow precise attacks and surveillance, posing a lethal threat to Ukrainian forces. Civilians are increasingly caught in the crossfire, with homes and infrastructure destroyed. Ukrainian soldiers report longer, riskier deployments, with some unable to rotate out for months. Despite limited resources, Ukraine is racing to counter this new threat. The war's human toll remains immense, with soldiers like Maksym torn between the frontlines and their families. (PC: BBC)
