Re: Soviet balloon
The Soviet observation balloons were subordinated directly to their artillery units, not to their air force. The Hungarian fighters shot down two observation balloons as well (in September, 1944 at the Carpathians). In one case, the victorious fighter was shot down by the strong AA defence of the balloon.
The first photo evidently shows a shared (half) victory against a balloon, as Juha said earlier.
