Poland's eastern and northeastern borders
The Polish Ministry of Defense highlights the advanced capabilities of Barbara balloons, which include the detection of missiles, aircraft, drones, and waterborne vessels within a radius exceeding 300 km. Poland will be the pioneering European nation to deploy such reconnaissance balloons.
It's noteworthy that Poland initially submitted a request to purchase these balloons from the United States in 2023, with the approval from the State Department coming through in February 2024.
Equipped with radars for airspace and ground surveillance, onboard early warning systems capable of discerning "friend or foe," and corresponding ground control infrastructure, these balloons offer distinct advantages over manned aircraft, notably prolonged airborne surveillance and the absence of onboard crew.
The deployment of these surveillance assets comes amid heightened concerns regarding security along the Polish-Belarusian border.

⚡️ Georgian Prime Minister Kobakhidze asserts that the law "On Transparency of Foreign Influence," recently passed by Parliament, serves as a pretext for calls to provoke a confrontation with Russia

Following the storm, parts of Greenfield were left in ruins. Areas where homes once stood were now littered with heaps of shattered trees, branches, car fragments, and other debris.
