They are hard targets. No radar crossection and the cellular structure, immune to gunfire.

I doubt that it is immune to gun fire. It might be designed to take a few more shots than usual.

Send a warthog after it and see if it survives.

Is it immune to this?

Don't forget, we got our eye on you, Soviet.

Immune to gunfire? LOL. I call BS on that one. So what keeps the balloon aloft? Any balloon can be shot down. Where do you come up with that stuff?

The instrument package hanging beneath the balloon is large and has what appears to be solar panels on it. This is a huge radar crossection.
