Soooooo should counter protesters just release a bunch of mylar balloons to cause disruption? Publicly admitting that their tech/operators can't discern between balloons and drones is..... A choice.
Yes.
Also yes. ๐
Balloons are sky trash, bad for the environment. But they could be good camouflage for drones now, I guess.
Edit: maybe release a hundred of these:

Is there a source on the material of the balloon? Like did it have a radar cross section and that's what caused the confusion?
Because if so, you're gonna want to attach something like aluminum foil as it doesn't look like those would actually be able to confuse optics.
a bunch of these
but tastefully edited
Good point about the sky trash, forgot about that!
As for using biodegradable pride balloons to distract fascist weaponry? That's the ultimate poetic justice! ๐๐๐
