The F-22 has a 20mm gun should have been easy to use the gun on a balloon.

Joe XiBiden could have had the balloon shot down over the Pacific ocean before it crossed into Alaska's air space. Instead he allowed the balloon to travel across the US and transmit sensitive information back to China. We live in dangerous times when our puppet president is a stooge for China, Ukraine and Soros.

The F-22 shot a heat seeking AIM-9 at a balloon?

The Biden administration now claims the baloon was hypersonic. /s
To: logi_cal869
Why? Highest air to air kill in history, first kill of an F22, AND the first sir to air kill over the US. Sick of people dogging our pilot. He’s got a legit air to air kill. People should get off his back
To: Fungi
Nope. $400,000 missile. Look it up
To: Fungi
Sheesh, don’t we have pins?
To: jerod
Money better spent on the balloon than on Ukraine.

I know it sounds weird, but yes. They can use a certain targeting method to home in on a light source that’s not the sun. The sun beaming on the bright white balloon against a blue background, the targeting brain in a modern aim 9 can tell the difference.
Also, the pilot can look through his visor and the missile travels where he’s looking

Well how much do you suppose the information the Chinese got from it was worth? How many millions? Not to mention the national humiliation from the entire fiasco. The whole world saw that shit show
