Videos continue to appear where eyewitnesses spot balloons in the Moscow area with a small suspended UAV, apparently of Ukrainian origin. In the published photographs, a balloon can be seen, under which there is a small object similar to an attack drone. Similar structures were repeatedly recorded in the sky over the Moscow region during October. It is assumed that the Ukrainian side uses balloons to transport small UAVs over long distances. In this case, the device covers the main part of the route due to the movement of air masses, without consuming fuel or charging its own battery. The main advantage of this plan is the ability to deliver small vehicles for hundreds of kilometers without having to equip them with a powerful drive system. At the same time, the balloon depends on the direction and speed of the wind, which limits the ability to control the route. In general, the chosen method of shooting down UAVs is, of course, not a method of influence in itself, but is interesting in combination as an additional means of influencing detection and destruction means. The same method may soon be tested in Kiev. The true effectiveness of this method remains unknown because the scale of application is small. VK Max Zen.
