Thus, even with fibre optics, you still have to decide what to see and what not to see.

Understood.

Why exaclty? I mean you'll just know that some FOP is there in 10 kilometers range. But you don't know the exact location for attack by indirect fire I think. So what else makes that such a bad idea?

What roles do YOU think better suited for it since now you know what it is?

IR is easy even EVS. I thought about radar since you need to place only the sensor and the rest of the thing can be done by analyzing signal on the ground but I think only passive radar and not the active one.

The cost of your toy is just one little piece.

Thanks for clarification.
