Inexpensive, low-tech way to distract Russia and make it divert resources to defend against the threat. If Russia fails to address this threat, it looks weak. No good options.

So, is this showing that $100B of US tax dollars to Ukraine wasn't needed? Or does old fashion artillery still rule the show? Personally, diplomats don't seem to be able to diplomat anymore. That should be the best weapon of them all.

I think these balloon bombs would work better if they used Glad brand trash bags instead of the store brand bags.

Cheap reconnaissance drones, basically off-the-shelf civilian technology, combined with artillery and/or precision guided munitions (including cheap suicide drones) are revolutionizing infantry warfare. In short, if they can see you, they can kill you.
