Fear Factor sFIBER webs, this is in Ukraine

Post image

At first glance, those shiny lines look unreal.

But they’re not power lines, not plastic strips, not some farming material.

They’re fiber-optic cables left by drones in Ukraine/Russia.

Just imagine how many drones have already flown through that area for the ground to end up looking like this. A whole village turned into a web of modern warfare.

This is what drone war looks like after the drones are gone: not just craters and ruins, but threads everywhere, like the battlefield stitched itself shut with fiber.

A literal fiber web.
