Russian propagandist Yuri Kotenok stated that such balloons are "cheaper than anything else that flies" and can be launched en masse.

According to Russian resources, the aerostats can rise to an altitude of 5-7 kilometers and drop drones in designated areas. There is currently no official confirmation of this information from the Ukrainian side.
