Russian monitoring channels have reported the danger of "small balloons" in the Krasnodar Krai, Rostov Oblast, North Ossetia, and occupied Crimea in recent days. The Z-channel "Osvedomitel" claims that the aerostats can be carriers of Hornet strike drones.
Russian propagandist Yuri Kotenok stated that such balloons are "cheaper than anything else that flies" and can be launched en masse.
"They don't care about satellite navigation, electronic warfare, or other fancy devices,"
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.
