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.
