Ukraine needs to be able to hit 30-100kms behind the line at scale. That will slow offensive activity.

I’d love to see them loft and float drones over Russia using hydrogen balloons — getting them 100k feet up and riding wind currents before releasing could unlock huge range

I had that same weapon idea,  using the height for kinetic energy similar to the tallboys of ww2

I’m less concerned about kinetic gain — more using the height to increase the range due to being able to glide a lot

Additionally, Russia could only shoot it down with an expensive SAM (vs. small arm fire)

Yea good luck. The drone would be a popsicle.

This is flat-out wrong

Check out the Red Bull jump with Felix — that balloon carried a dude and a capsule, easily a few hundred pounds

Another — look at all that gear

Are you retarded by any chance? You are comparing a human that had 100 people help him for 1 fucking jump. He had a litteral spacecraft that he was strapped in seconds before a jump. Over a small shitty drone that would be made as cheap as possible.

I dunno man, the Japanese figured it out 80 years ago and launched 9000 of them … so maybe you’re just the ignorant retard

You are comparing a unguided iron bomb to a drone with electronics and flight surfaces are you fucking stupid?

God damn, dummy, give it a rest — it’s okay if you don’t understand what I’m saying
