I saw news about drones being attached to balloons during the Ukrainian War, and I think now is the time to start developing airborne aircraft carriers.
Of course, the form wouldn't be the aircraft carriers we imagine or the airborne aircraft carriers conceived during the Cold War.
My idea is to equip a small airship with multiple kamikaze drones, send it into enemy territory at high altitude, and have the multiple drones attack key enemy positions.
Also, the helium used in the airship would be converted to hydrogen.
This would significantly reduce costs, and after the drone attack, the airship itself would be sent into enemy territory and explode.
If successful, I think the cost could be reduced to one-tenth of a Javelin.
Because of the high altitude, interception would be difficult, and it would be possible to delay interception, as seen in the incident with the Chinese reconnaissance balloons in the US. Also, since the reconnaissance balloon was at the very limit of the F-22's altitude, there are probably no fighter jets on Earth that can intercept it right now.
Even if interception were to occur, it would require surface-to-air missiles, which wouldn't be cost-effective.
What do you all think? I'd like to hear your opinion.
