I would not shoot it down.
Go up and drag it down to get all the crap they have hanging under it.
Or puncture it so it drops down where we can grab it.
You all remember when the reds grabbed one of our planes and made such a big deal out of that back when GW Bush first started his term?
“...puncture it so it drops down where we can grab it.”
Uhh..that’s what happens when you shoot down a balloon.
Analyze it’s telemetry and take control of it, land at a safe spot and take it apart. WITH GREAT CAUTION.
How are you going to “get up there and drag it down?”
What s the kinetic energy on a couple hundred pounds falling from 60,000 feet? Who is going to catch that?
