Lyman, a town in Ukraine's Donetsk region, now stands as a stark testament to the evolution of modern warfare, with large parts of its area covered by a dense network of thin fiber-optic cables abandoned by drone operators from both Ukrainian and Russian forces.
Footage released by the drone battalion of Ukraine's 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade on December 19, 2025, reveals an extraordinary scene in Lyman, where streets, courtyards, and open spaces are draped in slender cables resembling a giant spider's web.
These fiber-optic cables originate from First Person View (FPV) drones controlled via wired connections to evade intense electronic warfare interference along the front lines.
