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)
