I’ve seen some videos that show clearly how the cables reflect sunlight and become easy to see. You can see it in this video as well if you watch around 7 seconds and look towards the sun: You’ll see a bunch of strands in the background that are only visible due to the reflected sunlight.
Absolutely! My point was only that they can, in the right conditions, be very easy to spot. I’ve seen a video where the lines were also easy to follow along the treetops. That doesn’t mean it’s easy to follow the lines for many kilometres to their origin, but it does mean that if you have a rough idea of where to look for a drone team, the lines could reveal where they are.
Easy issue to solve since the fiber spool doesnt have to be attached to the remote controller… all a drone following fiber back would spot is a router looking thing at best.
The “router” would need to be fairly close to the operator in order to maintain a connection though, and if you keep it under observation you would be able to catch the operators when they’re packing to move.

There’s a difference between able to see a section of fibre and being able to follow it miles back to the operator.
