    Fiber optic cables litter the landscape of drone wars
    Birds are forced to use the plastic for their nests

    Discarded fibre-optic cables litter frontline areas

    "Woven from fibre-optic cable and grass, a small ​bird's nest found near the front line of the war in Ukraine shows how the more ‌than four-year-old conflict is reshaping the natural environment, researchers say."

    "Areas along the 1,200-km (746-mile) front line are covered with ultra-thin fibre-optic cables, which are used by Ukrainian and Russian troops to guide aerial attack drones to make them impervious to electronic jamming."

    "The cables, which ​can stretch for 20 km, lie tangled in trees and scattered across fields and on the ​rooftops of towns in Ukraine's frontline regions, glistening in the sunlight like giant spider ⁠web." >>
