Edit. Have tried. Giving up for now... the article quoted analysis by Michael Kofman (Carnegie) and Retired Air Marshal Martin Sampson.
I found this article which has one of those authors which mentions FPV drones using optical fibre (for 2-way communication) but it doesn't mention how long the fibre is. I would doubt very much that an FPV drone could carry 30-40km of fibre onboard
