China Develops A Tool To Defend Military Facilities In South China Sea, And It's Mind-Blowingly Simple

Amid rising tensions in the South China Sea, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has developed a low-cost fast deployable air defense system using radar reflector balloons to protect military facilities from aerial attacks. In the era of AI technology, the Chinese military is opting for a rather simplistic method to protect critical infrastructure. The PLA demonstrated its latest technique at a joint drill, called the Zhejiang Golden Shield-22, conducted by the Chinese military and local units in November. It involved the use of radar reflector balloons to safeguard military facilities in case of a long-range missile or drone attack, according to a report on The War Zone. It included the deployment of AD air balloons on UAVs avenues of approach&energy assets visual camouflage (Ukraine lesson learnt) pic.twitter.com/m21KrBIVnZ
