In the Vinnitsa region of Ukraine, an alarm was raised due to a flying object

In the Vinnitsa region controlled by the Kyiv regime, an alarm was announced after reports of a flying object appearing in the airspace. Presumably, this object is a hot air balloon. It is reported that an inconspicuous object moves at low speed, but its type cannot be established.

The representative of the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ignat, suggested that a balloon was flying in the sky over Vinnitsa, launched by Russian troops to divert attention and deplete the ammunition of Ukrainian air defense.



According to the representative of the command of the Ukrainian aviation, such balls are filled with gas, due to which they are able to rise to a considerable height, reaching several kilometers, which excludes the possibility of their defeat with the help of small arms weapons. Often the balls are equipped with corner reflectors made of foil or a thin sheet of metal, designed to provoke air defense systems.

The purpose of launching such balls is to identify the positions of Ukrainian anti-aircraft systems, as well as to deplete their ammunition. It is reported that earlier similar balls were seen in the sky over the Kyiv region of Ukraine.

Earlier it was reported about the defeat by missiles launched from the Black Sea, energy infrastructure facilities in the city of Khmelnitsky and the Khmelnitsky region, as well as in Krivoy Rog. In communities across Ukraine, the strikes were followed by power outages.

        This is true and even recorded in the US all sorts of record books.
        But amers have experience. they just forgot a little, but the Ukrainians did not read.)))
        What if a person actually flew? Imagine how they would all vote!

          And what to read, they wrote for a long time that until 1977 the states launched 4100 units towards the USSR, in the record year 1956, there were 2000 units. Only 763 balls were knocked down. Yak-25 interceptors worked.

      This is how American aeronauts wrote that a balloon costs about 180 bucks and they are made in any circle like "Skillful Hands". Here are a hundred or two of these balls before a missile-geranium strike, to release towards the enemy's air defense, let them hit the "tricks". Cheap and hassle-free.

        In the upper layers of the atmosphere, the direction of air currents is completely different than at the surface of the Earth.
        It may be quite the opposite.
        In general, now it is worth waiting for the same balls over Russia.

      The special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine established the launch site of an object flying over the Vinnitsa region, and also suggested that, judging by the size, there are at least 5 Mt of explosives in TNT equivalent. I also managed to photograph the troops launching it.

      Still wondering where did he fall? After all, every ball eventually falls. Due to the fact that when lifting up, the difference between the pressure inside the ball and atmospheric pressure becomes more and more. And the ball bursts

    If it's a balloon, why shoot it with small arms? The wind will blow and take away from the place of observation. Even if it's a reconnaissance balloon, sit still for a while. And there will be no point in catching up the blizzard in the news from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

    Most of all, it’s not an attempt to mow a pet to look like an owner, but what they try to mow in a case that has nothing to do with the American one ... There is a national shame that the working air defense overslept the enemy’s invasion. But for you, lackeys, air defense has been working for a year from ambush on a tip from AWACS dangling over Poland and Lithuania! What the hell is a balloon if you don't turn it on when front-line bombers come to you!!!

    Oh wow those storytellers (journalists) fool
    why does the RF Armed Forces probe need solar panels?

    Near the Vinnitsa region of Ukraine, an alarm was sounded through a flying object

    and they don't know. no alarm
    He is a Russian UFO (but this is fake)

    just look at this entity, devoid of intelligence, but having all the traces of vice on it (rat house)

    With such balls, with the appropriate equipment, it is quite easy to detect clusters of equipment on the ground, followed by a fire defeat. It is technically not an easy task to shoot down the balls, because the ground and especially the radial speed is low. So there are more balls of all kinds and different !!!! However, it is impossible to control them, this is a minus. But with a successful coincidence of tasks and wind direction, everything will be fine.

      And, if you hook a self-propelled reconnaissance drone into the ball, then in general it can work out fine. It flies almost invulnerable, high, high, reconnoitring, and as it reconnoitred, it unhooked and went home. The equipment can be used many times and at all costs - a balloon and helium.
