🇷🇺🫸🇺🇦 Testing barrage balloons with suspended cables and Kevlar cords to counter Ukrainian kamikaze drones. Similar balloons were used in World War I and particularly extensively in World War II against enemy aircraft, forcing bombers to fly higher and thereby reducing bombing accuracy (last photo). Modern balloons will most likely serve a similar purpose: the risk of collision with the cables would force Ukrainian drones to fly at higher altitudes along certain sections of their routes, making them easier for radar to detect and surface-to-air missile systems to engage. #info #architecture #UAV #SAM #MANPADS #EW
