@joeycontino2: Ukraine is now using high-altitude weather balloons to launch drones deep behind Russia’s fortifications

Focus.ST :

so that’s why china sent one a couple years ago to see if we can detect it

Andrew Calbert :

can't wait for this to find is way into Call of Duty!

LofHunt :

You gotta love these guys for their innovation. I hope our military is paying attention.

jonnnothin :

how tf did a drone get so damn high?

Taven Zander :

why would a balloon be undetectable? it shows up on radar and would show up on other systems

kolten :

Thats a ballon used for taking star link up im pretty sure,

ꑭ BEAM ꑭ :

Seems like radar might be able to spot the drone reflection?

Fastass MSTOC commander :

Mention Ukrainian exoskeleton development.

Kretziz :

it needs a way to detect if the balloon is destroyed and activate the drone and a droge chute to keep it the right way and slow down the fall until the drone is deployed.

Olly Dorsett🌙 :

Wow

AshenLeaf :

That's crazy

t.heodad :

I say we call them balloonstics

Scott Covington :

So… you’re saying, we should be worried about weather balloons then?

Shawn Flynn :
