Once a simple balloon company, RusBal now specializes in inflatable replicas of various war machines used by the Russian military. Its creations range from life-size replicas of rocket launchers, tanks and fighter jets, to inflatable military tents and even radar stations. It was founded in 1993 by a hot air balloon enthusiast and specialized in hot air balloons and inflatable children’s play sets, but today its biggest client is the Russian military.
