A spokesman for the Air Force of Ukraine, Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Ignat, told this on the national telephone of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "Balloons are grandfather methods, they have long been used," the military commented. According to Ignati, there is no point in calling Russian objects balloons, as these are just primitive balloons with angular reflectors. In diameter, they can be a meter-half-filled gas. "It's not a probe, not a balloon, as someone wrote there.
It's just a ball that carries a piece of metal," he added. According to Ignati, a radar station is tied to the ball on the "lace". The lieutenant colonel noted that the Ukrainian air forces are constantly monitoring the situation in the airspace, so they immediately responded to the emergence of Russian military facilities. "And here is already the skill of our people to distinguish a ball from UAV, UAV from the plane and so on.
It is clear that to work on balloons by some powerful means [air defense] nobody will be, because it is just a ball," he explained Speaker PS. The day before, Yuri Ignat also explained that the main purpose of such Russian air facilities is to distract Ukrainian air defense systems from real purposes and to gather the necessary information on the placement of air defense batteries.
