Heard everything now, kite fighting

Fighter kites are kites used for the sport of kite fighting. Traditionally most are small, unstable single line flat kites where line tension alone is used for control, and an abrasive line is used to cut down other kites.
Kite fighting is done in many countries, but is particularly associated with Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Korea and the slums of Brazil.

VERY common accident around there. They sell these kind of "antenna" in the pic bellow, it comes with a small hook at the top end so it cuts the line.
