Of course, metal vapors, nano- and micro-particles can affect the characteristics of the discharge. This is known from numerous studies of simpler and more understandable plasma objects such as glow discharge and arc. Similar studies and comparisons with known experimental data could be carried out on these objects. In this connection, the use of high-voltage pulse discharges is not justified. The authors draw an analogy with the formation of sprites, then, in my opinion, the study would be more suitable for another journal related, for example, atmospheric research.
