A Reuters investigation has found that Russia is using fibre-optic FPV drones to strike high-voltage electrical substations in Ukraine's frontline Sumy region, bypassing anti-drone defences and electronic warfare systems. Footage verified by the Centre for Information Resilience and confirmed by Reuters shows drones reportedly penetrating protective netting and targeting critical autotransformers worth millions of dollars. Investigators say the attacks could form part of a broader effort to isolate Ukrainian regions from the national grid and increase blackout risks. Ukrainian officials accuse Moscow of seeking to make life unbearable in border regions, while Russia maintains that its strikes serve military objectives. #ukrainewar, #russiaukrainewar, #russia, #ukraine, #dronewarfare, #fpvdrone, #powergrid, #blackout, #sumy, #militarytechnology, #russiandrones, #ukrainenews, #warnews, #energyinfrastructure, #electronicwarfare, #geopolitics, #breakingnews, #europewar, #frontline, #milit
