This is a streaming banner for small plane-like heavy kamikaze drones that penetrate deeply into opposing air space. The long streaming banner, reminiscent of beach and sports flyovers by small planes, would encourage the occupiers citizens to support the special military operation with stirring patriotic
messages:
"Join the Z-Force to protect the Motherland"
"Join the Z-Force to protect the Fatherland"
"Prove your Manhood"
"Make RUB5000/month and Get RUB200000 Bonus from the Motherland"
This would allow the kamikaze drones to purposely overfly villages and population centers without being identified as enemy. Welcomed, in fact. Drop leaflets, for god's sake. Drop money.
The banner is discarded before entering the target area. Unopposed, the drone fulfills its mission.

It's an interesting idea but it wouldn't work, at least not after the first one hits. You'll need to use the more traditional infiltration methods of using highly plausible duplicates of enemy equipment with the right codes or by bribing the right guards. |

It does bring up the question of whether you can send drones from a direction so it seems like it came from behind your enemy's own lines. |

How about a banner that says: Follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park? |

Just got caught up in the magic of the moment...wars and rumours of wars and all that... |

[Voice] That's why the banner is discarded before the target area is entered. Well in advance, if the target is 500-1500K away. You can make the final approach from any favorable direction after jettisoning the banner. For all anyone in a village knows, the banner he found was just another technical malfunction, not necessarily attributed to the kamikaze drone attack 30K away. The more the drone is made to look like a Baikal, wheel fairings and all, but scaled down, the better. Distance perception is freaky when the shape and silhouette is identical but the scale is different. |

It might have a limited useful life, but then any old thing you send up trailing a banner is cause for fear and trembling whether it's a real threat or not. |

I'm not sure how you imagine airspace security operates, but it doesn't operate like that. Any aircraft near or over Russian territory with or without transponder are tracked. |

[V] I am not imagining that Russian airspace security is abominable. By your measure nothing would get through, but lots does. Transponder or not the Russian AA regularly shoots down its own aircraft. At 50-250m altitude it is futile to acquire a medium size drone made of cardboard and rubber bands, much less target it from any distance. And the deeper into enemy territory the spoof plane penetrates, the weaker and more lax the tracking and response are. |

This ruse is directed at the reporting that may be done by overflown areas and ground fires that can be ABSOLUTELY identified as targeting enemies, no matter how friendly the plane appears. Hard to be sure, as proven on the field. |
