Yeah but this is like grinding MMO raids for the last bit of gear to drop in a set that you need, sometimes you just got to do it for the sense of completion.

Don't you want to be able to hang a poster with a map of all the oil infrastructure with nice little explosion icons for the map pins and a list of dates a location was hit for every location of that type in russia?

The sum is more than all the parts put together here is what I am saying.

I mean, I hear you. But also, no. This is literally a war of attrition and inflicting max logistical societal pain possible for the lowest cost to achieve a desired outcome. If doing as you say can further than, then yes, but there are likely much better targets to hit for now.

maybe one of the balloon drones can hit it. depends on wind tho

and russia not just downing it with another drone. not like it would be hard to spot.

But I like your out of the box thinking.

Ukrainian balloon drones are a thing tho. At least in testing. They float very high, then the drone detaches from the balloon and attacks: https://aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/ukraine-balloon-drone-carriers/ The problem is just, the balloon goes where the wind goes. If the wind only blows wrong way among all air layers, you can't attack.
