Suspected Chinese spy balloon found over northern U.S.

Does this mean spy planes flying high altitude over countries is fair game now?

 

$400k unit price. Probably cost more than the entire Chinese balloon.

 

As it turns out, we knew about it a while back. Biden was briefed on it on Tuesday. It was spotted on Thursday by the public. We also tracked balloons in previous years over Guam and Hawaii. Unsurprisingly, you were wrong in your assessment of US intelligence.

 

If you look at my post history I've been talking about the risk of them for some time but sure. The best thing trump ever did was space force because it allows us to intercept ibms and other threats.

The reason why we didn't showcase our b21 in the open last month was bcz China has these low orbit satellites positioned to steal information from us.

Keep spinning conspiracies

Pentagon also confirmed they had many of these balloons issues in the trump era and they NEVER shot it down during the trump administration

 

if China was just trying to deliver three busloads of iPhones to Europe, well then there are gonna be some sad consumers in Lichtenstein and Albania next week

 

@basso avert your eyes.

Intra-marcos violence

 

damn I'm sure glad we didn't have this kind of advanced anti-balloon weaponry when THIS guy was flying the friendly skies

 

CCP is pure evil.

 

The payload debris landed on a pod of whales. Save the whales! The balloon remains landed on a boat traveling at high speed, they couldn't see, and they hit another boat both exploding.

 

Social media is a great place to quickly comprehend the methods and operations of intelligence gathering through a spy balloon within a few days.

 

That pilot is going to be mocked forever for getting a kill on a balloon.

 

so they say.

why didn't they shoot it down over the Aleutians?

 

@basso



Thank God we have real leaders in office and not the insurrection folks trying implode the country

 

nah, pretty sure the week-long delay was lining up this guy to make the kill and sell war bonds for Biden

 

Next up...

 

if they've tracked similar balloons over Hawaii and Guam, why not shoot it down over the Aleutians, Yukon, NW Territory?
