🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine just turned weather into a weapon.
A weather balloon drifts 26 miles into Russian airspace, reaches 5 miles altitude, then releases an American Hornet kamikaze drone with 95% of its battery still intact and a strike range extended to roughly 75 miles.

Ukraine just turned weather into a weapon.

No radar signature, no engine noise, just the wind quietly doing all the work.
The part that stings most for Russia: they can’t copy it. The prevailing winds in the region blow toward Russia, not away from it.
Ukraine’s geographic position turns a basic meteorological fact into a permanent tactical advantage.
Physics picked a side.
