The picture of the Uzbek Army’s strange move is exposed! Balloons were used to carry attack drones deep into the Russian rear

The Ukrainian military continues to develop new tactics for asymmetric warfare. According to a report by the Ukrainian military media "Defense Express" on the 8th, the Ukrainian army is using balloons to perform a variety of aerial missions, including an unconventional tactic: using balloons to carry attack drones to the rear of Russian-controlled areas, and then releasing them after approaching the target.

The report pointed out that this approach allows the attack drone to not completely rely on its own flight endurance, but is first carried by a balloon and floats for a considerable distance. This allows the Ukrainian army's small unmanned systems to shorten the distance they must fly under their own power and have the opportunity to reach targets deep in the enemy's rear.

"Defense Express" reported and analyzed that this concept may have multiple tactical advantages when targeting facilities far away from the front line. By deploying drones closer to their intended targets via balloons, the Ukrainian military may be able to extend the effective reach of relatively small unmanned systems.

In addition, balloons also provide an alternative means of transportation for aerial payloads. Unlike traditional drones, balloons do not necessarily need to continue powered flight during the transportation phase. This mode of operation may also make the Russian military face greater difficulties in detecting and intercepting incoming threats.
