Pictures and video clips of a number of military planes were spotted launching thermal balloons during takeoff, and the landing of some of them was not normal, but rather a combat landing characterized by high speed.
Airplanes use such tactics to ward off a missile attack, as heat balloons confuse heat-seeking techniques that guide anti-aircraft missiles.
