		A variation on this defense might be to have no balloons until an attack was on its way, then inflate balloons in the path of the incoming missile which simulated prominant features of the real target area.
		Of course this defense would be more effective the fewer the geographical features that were too prominent to mask or simulate: a prairie or desert setting would be good; an ocean target, such as an oil-well platform, with balloons stored and released from the ocean floor, but anchored when at the surface, might be considered.
		The balloons I have in mind are modelled after rapidly-inflating ones such as the "air bags" used to prevent injury in automobiles which inflate in 1/20 sec, or those tested as decoys against Syrian SAMs by the Israeli air force in April, 1974.
