That’s too bad. Sounds like something got “over-pressurized” - leading to

It’s not lost. It’s blown up. They’re tracking the pieces on radar.

China has done this before in test exercises YEARS ago.
By now I’m completely sure their capabilities are dramatically enhanced.
Japan ALWAYS terms it’s spy satellites something else, like enviro stuff.
Probably the Chinese determination was this bird could give early warning of Chinese naval movements.
