Does anyone know how much more accurate this is compared to other interferometer gyroscopes like fiber-optics?

I'm not gonna do the math. But it seems those fiber once have a longer path relatively speaking, so higher latency
as far as i had read about it, accurate enough to rely on for a whole flight without worrying about drift
