Ukraine’s fiber-optic drones get squeezed by AI data center demand

Ukraine's drone manufacturers are facing a shortage of fiber-optic cable due to increased demand from AI data centers, which is making it difficult for them to produce their fiber-optic drones. As a result, they are adapting by finding alternative sources of fiber-optic material and modifying their drone designs to use less cable. This shortage is causing production delays and is a significant challenge for Ukraine's drone industry.
