> Balloons, that's what the military uses for high resolution imagery. And they are so good to stay aloft that not even with a .50 machine gun you would be able to down it. The only way to do that is to fly a drone nearby carrying some pounds of dynamite and fire it off.

Blimps sure... restricted dynamite?, just sit on top
and dump burning petrol, drill, cut, etc. Unless you get balloons
that way on launch (high climb rate is hard to target), high
altitude (weather/spy) balloons are not reachable by anything
less than missiles. Small holes in anything will prohibit
reaching station and/or limit hold time.

Drones are just as good for most things, that's why
everyone has them now, even you.
