There has to be a limit as to the number of targets a mobile air defense system network can effectively track. Overwhelm Russia with a bazillion dummy balloons and a few dozen other items with carefully selected payloads.

       While you're busy "overwhelming" their air defence systems with balloons, they will be equally busy launching their unstoppable mach 9 speed Zircon nuclear missiles by way of a response.

       Gentle overwhelm [+]   

       Puts me in mind of Gandhi's 1000s-persons 'sit ins' which ground the oppressor overlords' government business to a screeching halt.   

       //carefully selected payloads// Snacks, toys, confetti? Pasta, caviar, chocolate? Medical marijuana, bandages, iodine?   

       If we do the same sh*t we've always done, we'll get the same sh*t we've always gotten. Therefore, I vote we try a bazillion balloons' psychological anti-warfare, as baked by the women of Ukraine: rearrange street signs, monkey with services 'expected' to be functional by occupying forces (eg: clay in the bread left for soldiers to steal), hand sunflower seeds to the occupying soldiers so that when they die flowers will grow.

       I was wondering if there was *something* in that balloon shot down by the US.   

       What's needed is a giant vacuum to follow the shooting-'em-down bullet/rocket to aid in remediation, 'recovery' and examination of the remains.

       This is an obvious tactic to which you've attached a current event and suggested target. [-]

       I found the visual entertainment. It's not for real you all, it's just for us.
