"No need to knock them down": the expert revealed the true threat of balloons of the Russian Federation

The military should be preserved by air defense systems and not to "shine" the location of radars, which will soon be needed to protect against the attacks of the invaders, says Yuri Kasyanov. In recent days, Russia has been actively launching balloons with angular reflectors over Ukraine. The serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the head of the initiative A. Drones Yuriy Kasyanov explained on Telegram how the military should respond to such devices.

According to him, with the help of such balloons, Russians try to provoke Ukraine - to force expensive missiles and thereby reveal the positions of air defense systems, including radar. Probably the occupiers expect that they will be able to obtain the coordinates of Ukrainian complexes for the task of impact in the future. "The best thing to do with balloons is nothing to do. You don't have to try to knock down.

To spend precious and scarce missiles, to include all air defense locators, to increase radio exchange," Yuri Kasyanov said. "Take care of the missiles and do not glow. They will be needed soon. " For the first time in 2023, balloons with reflectors in the sky over Ukraine were noticed on February 14. According to the spokesman of the Air Force of Ukraine Yuri Ignat, the Russians can use such objects to intelligence and distraction of air defense from true purposes.
