I mean, drones trailing fiber optic cables are widely documented https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_optic_drone

So I’m pretty sure avoiding jamming by a military adversary is not trivial, even with frequency hopping and suchlike.

FPV drones in the Russian war are generally pretty dumb devices, there's usually no frequency hopping involved to begin with. They have a lot more in common with baby monitors than with modern military comms.

Lol, even baseline DJI drone chipsets from a decade ago do frequency hopping. Many baby monitors probably do too.

You can literally see the analog video links in countless thousands of published recordings. Nobody really does the hopping with analog video.

From early in the war, sure.
