Ukraine deploys balloon-launched drone tactics for deep-strike operations in Russia and Crimea

Ukrainian forces are reportedly utilizing high-altitude balloons to transport and release drones, enabling stealthy strikes against targets deep within Russian territory, including the Saki airbase in Crimea. This method exploits the balloons' ability to drift undetected over long distances, complicating Russian air defense interception. The operational scale and frequency of this tactic remain unverified.
