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 :(Quote:

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.

So, your balloons are safe on the top of a air sweeper.
