That reel holds 20 km of fibre! Look how thin it is!
You really think that would tow a water-skier? Really?
That could possibly pull a small mouse, with lolly sticks attached to its feet

Yeah, but the Russkies have got old grannies in the gulags, knitting the fibre optic cable out of loft insulation 
They not flying that fast, and that AMP draw, the munitions on these are huge, that’s 1400W draw at that point!

1k every time I go out for a flight… naa… let’s face it once you wrap it around a tree or bush you are goosed…
it’s still cheap compared to other ways. also this can be used for targeted attack inside buildings, etc… if we talk about one way drone, even 5k EUR is relatively cheap.
10 Km through a forest…No problem 
41 km 
some batteries on those drones

Chances are there are other considerations that override any BVLOS rules Ukraine might have, if they have any.
