Onlookers swarmed social media with videos of the Chinese spy balloon being “taken out” over the waters in South Carolina Saturday.
“Looks like here we see the contrail of the missile and the F-22 that fired the shot at the #ChinaSpyBalloon,” said user Thenewsarea51.

The Moment An F-22 Raptor ‘Takes Down’ The Chinese Spy Balloon Over South Carolina Back in WWI taking down a balloon counted toward becoming an Ace!
Re-start the F-22 Production Line!

It could have been taken down over US waters off the coast of Alaska.
Since that wasn’t done, was there some type of intelligence the US was getting from the presence of the balloon?
To: Governor Dinwiddie
A day late and a dollar short. Pedo Joe was ordered by the chicoms to let it finish the intelligence gathering mission or the check wouldn't clear.

The video looks like the missile missed the balloon but the balloon still goes down.

Wonderful news.
The balloon has crossed the Continental US and gathered whatever intelligence the Chinese wanted.
Then our glorious leader had the balloon shot down over the Alantic Ocean, so recovery of the balloon’s technology package will be problematic at best.
To my mind Biden is doing almost exactly everything the Chinese could hope for.

So ... we waited until the CCP downloaded all the captured data - smart!

Proximity warhead. Expanding fragment cone.
Popped it good.

Data was certainly uplinked to satellite constantly. The chicoms lost nothing.

True, but we lost any idea of what the balloons capabilities were.

My guess is that the instrument package was the thing they could get a radar lock on. Fragments then pierced the balloon.
To: Conservativetpa
Bidung had to wait until Xi gave permission for the shoot down.

I think Biden was allowing them to get everything the CCP wanted, and then ordered this now to try to look good. And people will eat it up, thinking he’s some gd hero or something.

That’s what I think. This now is a face-saving maneuver.
