Why Russia launches balloons with corner reflectors to Ukraine

11

In recent days, there has been a lot of conflicting information about various hot air balloons drifting around the world. Messages about similar objects came from the territory of Ukraine. On the balloons shot down by our enemy, as stated in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, corner reflectors were fixed.

The Fighterbomber telegram channel spoke about the benefits of such devices. If such balls really began to be used in the NWO zone, this is the right decision. Corner reflectors suspended from the ball appear on radar as a target that looks like a helicopter or UAV. A large number of such false targets can overload the enemy radar guidance channels and provide cover for the operation of missiles or Geraniums against the enemy.



Balloons with corner reflectors can also provide excessive consumption of air defense missiles, which are already in short supply in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Having detected radiation from a corner reflector, the air defense system can automatically launch a rocket at this object, the cost of which is tens of times higher than the cost of a balloon.

Why Russia launches balloons with corner reflectors to Ukraine

There is a possibility that the enemy will spend one or maybe three anti-aircraft missiles to destroy this ball, each of which costs about a hundred such balls. And there are no particular problems to launch at least a thousand balls at the same time from different places and at different heights

- writes the telegram channel.

Such balloons can also be effectively used to open enemy air defense positions in order to further destroy them with anti-radar missiles.

The capabilities of the Russian army make it possible to launch at least a thousand of these balloons at different heights along the entire front line, which will create serious problems for the work of the Ukrainian air defense.

      Ukraine admitted to launching balloons to disorient Russian air defense
      February 15 2023

      Ukraine started using balloons with reflectors a year ago to disorient the air defense of the Russian Armed Forces, an anonymous source in the Ukrainian Air Force told the Ukrainian edition of Strana. According to him, Ukraine launched balloons over Russian territory, after which Russia began to do the same. The source explained that this is an ordinary helium balloon wrapped in foil, which flies at the speed of the wind and whose main task is to disorient air defense, RIA Novosti reports. Earlier, a representative of the Ukrainian Air Force said that balloons with radar corner reflectors were seen over the Kyiv region, Russia launched them as decoys to deplete and distract Ukrainian air defense.

        Where did the Russian media get such an "opinion" that plagiarism is an acceptable thing? That work in Bakhmut is attributed not to those, then here are the balls, someone else, they attribute to themselves ... And more and more they forget about decency. request

    Those. we thus teach a lesson to the enemy.
    And he learns very quickly. So we can expect failures of our air defense.

    Our MO did not declare this.

    Ex-president of Georgia admitted the participation of the Georgian military on the side of Russia in the conflict with Ukraine

    Ex-president of Georgia Giorgi Margvelashvili admitted that the current authorities of the country will offer the military to take part in the armed confrontation with Ukraine on the side of Russia, the correspondent of the VZGLYAD newspaper in Tbilisi reports.
    “I do not rule out that the Georgian state will directly help Russia against Ukraine... Russia really needs us... Unfortunately, it seems to me real that the Georgian state will help Russia with its armed forces and call on Georgian soldiers to go to fight in Ukraine,” said the former President in an interview with the opposition TV company Pirveli (First).

    And if you just cover them with air defense with metal foil on balls.
    Why foil? Because it is light and for this you need a ball a little more than the one with which we went to the demonstration.

      The 3D Corner Reflector is the best way to return electromagnetic energy exactly in the direction of the radiation source. The same principle is used in reflectors - corner light reflectors on roads and vehicles.

    This is a twist, I already like them. It will definitely be more fun together.

    Launch a ball to initiate an interception?! Brad why write?! All radars of air defense systems have a Doppler shift filter - objects flying at a speed of less than 200 km / h are filtered! This is what allows Geranium-2 to break through air defense! Yes, the filter can be rebuilt to a smaller offset, but this is not easy, and secondly, this is a sharp increase in noise! You can generally remove it to zero - there is such a mode in AFAR, the "mapping" mode and in the radar of weather stations, for example, but this is a problem with interference, which means with the selection of inconspicuous targets!

    And the balloon flies well at 30-40 km / h - it is simply filtered by the radar of air defense systems!

    I also have a corner reflector covered with foil))
