In December 2024, Ukraine faced its largest cyberattack in recent memory, paralyzing the operation of state registries. The attack was one of 4,315 cyber incidents handled by the State Service for Special Communications in 2024, a 70% increase from 2023. The Russian hackers who claimed responsibility for the attack claimed to have destroyed over 1 billion rows of data. However, less than two weeks after the attack, the state began restoring access to the registries.

The main reason for the popularity of this type of UAV is the inability to suppress it with the electronic warfare (EW) systems that our front lines are littered with. In addition, there is currently no effective countermeasure against fiber-optics. 3DTech is one of those Ukrainian manufacturers of fiber-optic drones that are working on a response to the occupiers. Last weekend, we visited the testing ground with the company and saw how its improved UAV turned out. We also learned what technological solutions can be effective in the fight against such enemy "birds". More about all this later in the material.
