Believe me, I worked in the defense industry for almost 40 years with a lot of these “Americans”. Been there, seen that.

There’s a tiny minority who came here in the US as refugees from Mao, but even they have racial solidarity as their main focus. When they’re honest, they will admit that they hate the round eyes, and they only like the creature comforts of being where we are.

They appeared so SUDDENLY that a drone with a Covid jabber attached could make it disappear, unexpectedly, just as SUDDENLY.

Is that FJB Brandon on his way up to engage the Chinese balloon?

It’s too high up and with the air pressure so low up there it would take days to get it to freefall pressure even with a huge hole in it.

Best to shoot a camera guided incendiary missile at it and burn the top half of the balloon.

I wonder if they’re waiting until it’s over the ocean but still in our space...

“FWIS - one analysis I have seen says that the reason DoD will not take it out, is because we also have balloons over China doing the same/similar things”

If true that may make some sense. Sure would be nice if our own government would be somewhat forthcoming to the people. They seem to be keeping more secrets from “we the people” than from the chicoms.

Even a turboprop has a service ceiling of only 30,000 ft or so.
A jet with some small unarmed rockets would be your best bet.
Punch a few holes in it.

You MAY have misspelled “altitude”.

Just tell them it’s a Russian balloon and they’ll scramble the whole Air Force.
