a cheap and easy way to make your military musles look even stronger

The original article in all its glory.

As NATO are constantly updating with the latest military hardware Russia doesn't seemed to have changed too much since the breakup of the Soviet Union 20 years ago, old Cold War tensions aren't there anymore (unless you count former satellite states backed by America that murder innocent civilians but that's another story) so why spell millions a piece on new tanks, fighter-bombers and other hi-technology?

But being the biggest country in the world it may need to flex its muscles so smaller nations may think twice before fucking with them, so instead of spending money on the latest missiles to point at your neighbors, why not just make some real size balloons for God knows how much less?

The Pros
Not only will Russia's neighbors citizens see the extent size of Russia but they will also see that they still have hundreds of "tanks" and "ballistic missiles" and may think twice before fucking with Russia.

The Cons
If Russia comes under attack by, well for the sake of it lets say Europe (again) those $50 piece balloons won't do much to stop anyone!
