its cables kept attack planes from flying in low to make accurate attacks.

The maximum altitude of a barrage balloon is typically around 15,000 feet (4,500 meters). This height allows the balloon to effectively discourage low-flying aircraft from targeting ground units.

A barrage balloon is a large helium-filled balloon that is tethered to the ground with steel cables. It is used as a defensive measure to deter low-flying aircraft from attacking ground targets. The cables are intended to damage or destroy the aircraft if they come into contact with them.
The barrage balloon was used in WW2 in an attempt - not very successful - to protect parts of Britain from enemy bombers.
The first barrage balloon was built by British engineer Sir Barnes Wallis in 1912. It was designed to defend against aircraft attacks during World War I by creating obstacles in the sky for enemy planes.
