Balls with reflectors are looking for and depleting Ukrainian air defense. Photos of these objects appeared after falling to the ground. The Armed Forces of Ukraine posted a photo of a balloon, which was shot down the day before the air defense forces in Kiev and the region. The corresponding post is posted on the military page on Facebook. "A whipped balloon with reflectors in the Kyiv region," the message reads.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are looking for Ukrainian air defense, so today the invaders launched balloons again. "These objects could carry angular reflectors and some reconnaissance. On February 14, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation also launched balloons with angular reflectors.

The spokesman of the Air Forces of Ukraine Yuri Ignat said that they can fly into the airspace of other countries, because the trajectory of their movement depends solely on the direction of the wind. The air defense keeps the situation under control. As earlier reported by Focus with reference to The Jerusalem Post, the test was held by the Israeli air defense system, which will be able to knock down Iranian drones.

The weapons system is created on the basis of lasers and has already passed many tests. It is capable of destroying rockets, mortars and drones, including those that Russia attacks Ukrainian lands. As reported in Financial Times, Russia accumulates aviation on the border with Ukraine and is preparing for a new phase of war. The White House is of the opinion that more than 80% of the air fleet of the Russian Federation is in full security, because it has never been used in the war.
