So whilst the drones are super-effictive (for now) they pose several serious problems - 1. Fibres can get tangled, maybe even affecting vehicles or other machinery, cars, whatever and 2. If you can view these from the air, you can use an fpv drone to trace them back to the operator (meaning they'll need to change position more frequently and probablyclean up before returning to old positions). 3. That's gonna be a heck of a cleanup operation.

A war always is a "heck of a cleanup". These cables are by far not the worst part of it.

Us stupid humans will always find a way to kill each other.

The only question is what survives from the planet, not from our species...

Given how thin those are, and how many there are it might be a waste of time to try to follow them.

None of your points are even remotely close to an actual problem, let alone a serious one lol

They usually carry the spool on the drone so they don’t really get tangled because the feed end is at the source of the movement. It can always let out more slack to continue forward.
