In Ukraine, it has become a frequent practice for hang gliders to launch from locations near the border, navigating their way into neighboring countries such as Hungary or Romania. This adventurous method allows them to transport goods discreetly across borders.

When the hang gliders reach designated drop zones, they release their loads, which often consist of large quantities of cigarettes, sometimes numbering in the thousands. After completing the drop, the gliders quickly turn back to safely return to Ukraine, highlighting a unique and somewhat daring approach to smuggling goods across international lines.
