If a balloon comes from behind and hovers just above the air sweeper, will it be sweeped away or will it be too close to be hit?

Im pretty sure (but dont qoute me on this) that attackers on top of the sweeper will not be blown away.
I really hope that's true, it will ruin all of my fav strategies otherwise :(
All the other air troops have a slight forward range to their attacks, so they wont be affected as long as you have the common sense to not raid from the side that the sweeper is facing. I'm worried about balloons because they are the primary defense smashers in most air raids, they will be the most likely to get to it first, and I don't want to have all my loons sent to the other non destroyed, non tanked side of the base, that will ruin it for almost all strategies w balloons involved.
Airsweepers have a range of 1 to 15 units. If troops are on top of it, they won't be targeted, just like mortars.
Here's a thread with links to videos showing what happens when air troops come up on the sweeper from behind. It dies while doing nothing!

How much range does a drag have? Because if it attacks from farther away, it gets blown away.
this page (http://clashofclans.wikia.com/wiki/Air_Sweeper) says:
"Its range is "1-15", which means that a Balloon attacking directly above the Air Sweeper won't be pushed back"
So, your balloons are safe on the top of a air sweeper.
