    Beens months I’m saying a simple flame thrower should easily melt the wires.
    Now let’s add a hat of flamethrower to tanks.

    1. Cuts fibre/messes with fibre.

    2. Drone goes straight forward into the tank.

    3. ???

    4. BOUM. Profit.

    You would have to cut the fiber or hope the pulsed laser melts it.

    90% of the physics aside, this theory is like saying that crossing flashlight beams would cause interference. This is also ignoring the density difference between the fiber and the air.

    All things considered, I think we are looking at the new Russian wunderwaffe. Coming to a T-14 near you.

      i worked with fibers before and its 100% possible to inject enough light into a fiber to cause errors at the Rx without melting the fiber, flash lights are not coherent light and are not focused enough for that (also not pulsed)

      Fluorescence is a thing.

      The problem here (despite using a giant laser on the least effective way possible) is that any kind of error correction can deal with your pulsing interference, and you are letting the drone get a bit too close.
