“The War Zone”: The US may deploy thousands of aerostats in case of a conflict in Europe.
elchi reports that the US Army plans to use hundreds of high-altitude aerostats during a potential military conflict in Europe. The publication “The War Zone” reported this, citing US Army Brigadier General Stephen Carpenter.
The article notes that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of aerostats could be sent eastward in the “European scenario.”
Carpenter states that these aerostats will serve not only as “decoy targets” (false targets) but also as communication relays, electronic intelligence gathering tools, and even platforms for delivering air strikes.
Earlier, “Politico” reported that NATO had begun discussions on the forces and weapons that might be required during a potential war with Russia. According to the publication, member states intend to set defense capability targets for 2029; this date is allegedly being considered as a possible timeframe for such a confrontation.
