How high does a blimp has to fly , if carrying Radar , to detect missile launch from enemy border ? Much cheaper to fly than plane . Can have honeycomb Kevlar helium pockets , to withstand occasional drone hits . Can have emergency chute if blimp crashing to save Radar . Can have back up balloons to inflate if loosing altitude . Light weight Radar , with metal bits replaced with composites ! Radar can be internal to blimp structure .
An airship could have a structure made of super light weight non flammable composite materials, internally it will have hydrogen bags but the airspace between those bags could be purged with nitrogen gas, which means even if you throw a road flare in there it would not burn the hydrogen because there would be no oxygen to burn. Nitrogen is inert and makes up 70 percent of the atmosphere already.
Building radar antenna for long wave radar into the structure of the airship would be easy... the heat generated when it is radiating would boost the altitude of the airship.
The antenna could be dozens of metres wide and long.
You could hang 5km long wires from the airship that could be used as an ultra low frequency antenna to communicate with submarines hundreds of metres underwater.
With solar panels and electric motors and hydrogen fuel cells and modern lithium batteries your airship could operate for months at a time and would be very hard to shoot down. You could have hydrogen stored as water ballast and if the airship gets hit electrical power could convert the water ballast (dragging the airship down) into hydrogen that could be pumped into spare bags to generate lift even in areas damaged by a hit from a missile or weapon.
The result of a hit could be a slow descent and landing allowing people and material to be easily recovered. Fixing the damaged structures and replacing the damaged hydrogen filled bags and it could be operational again in hours.
The problem is that there aren't a lot of these planes. Maybe only 4 or 5 left with the military. This is a serious loss for the Russian military.
It was a transport, not an AWACS aircraft. It is certainly a loss, but nothing like the loss of the rapidly retreating Kiev forces on the front line right now.
Even if the US signed the 60 billion aide... there are no weapons to buy and no ammo to use in them that can be bought with this money and sent to the front line.
Even if they offered them a trillion US dollars it does not matter because it will disappear into bank accounts and skipped around the world till the music stops.
So the real figure for Russian losses is still around 50,000.
Which is too many, but I don't see how they could have made it less.
The important thing is to keep going so as to not make their sacrifice worthless, and to remember this was the west that created this situation... they pushed it in this direction... but because of Russian actions they didn't get more Russian dead and the Russian economy in collapse and Putin out of office.
Lets hope they pay for that.
Just like I said in my previous post. It often looks as if the kremlins are programmed to think and act in a pre-determined way. They cannot help or change themselves. This is what they are.
Let them have the body... who cares. They will make up what they pretend killed him with or without the body.
Refusing to release the body would look rather more suspicious than any shit the western governments can make up... and they are going to tell lies whether they get the body or not.
The truth is traversing open fields also makes you vulnerable to drone attacks.
True, but troops in the open are more vulnerable to artillery and gun fire than troops in vehicles. They also move slower and carry what they need which reduces their ammo capacity and weapon capacity.
Helicopters and aircraft and artillery and drones will sweep open areas with fire and be difficult for the Orcs to deal with.
