U.S Officials Confirm Third Chinese Balloon, Refuse to Reveal Location Slay News February 5, 2023The Washington Post reported that the U.S. officials have identified “a third operating elsewhere,” but they declined to give the balloon’s location.
Top Balloon.
Until we get kinetic, this guy is going to get some serious ribbing.
Should have tried out our new laser tech.
Even though I saw the balloon pop, I still don’t know the gender of the baby.
Will he have a balloon silhouette painted on the jet ?
We should rig a real weather balloon and send it over China. Let them shoot it down. Then they will be all smiles.
If the Republicans had balls, they would each carry two helium filled party balloons into the FUp’d State of the Union and let a few go every time FUBiden told a lie. I apologize for the oxymoron in my leading phrase.
Four more balloons to be an ace.
So they sent a jet worth $125 million, to shoot down a $150 balloon... Sounds about right.
The F-22 shot a heat seeking AIM-9 at a balloon?
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
Your attempt to mock the pilot is not working with me.
Why?
The pilot will not have to buy drinks for the foreseeable future.
Whether the pilot is a he or a she- and is single- then there will be an ou la la factor that will bring some smiles to their face compliments of their suitors.
The crew chief will also enjoy some credential boosting and will proudly adorn the aircraft with the requisite “kill” emblem.
Yes, as is the tradition, the pilot will endure some ribbing but will be infamous none the less, though through no fault of their own, and the pilot will become legend.
Lighten up Francis!
You know- the thing!
Next time it might even be a hang glider - the F-22 needs this kind of stress testing. :)
One hundred and fifty million bucks to pop a balloon. Yikes!
Only the Biden administration would use an F-22 to stop inflation. (it’s a balloon, get it)
The biggest thing China and Russia deduced, is we have ZERO Integrated Air Defense System in the US; we don’t have a viable energy weapon that can be rapidly employed; and nothing in any of the Air Natl Guards that allows a state to independently order a shoot.
Oh, and Xiden is disgraceful allowing it to traverse the US.
Shot down an unarmed balloon. There is probly a pink ribbon for your fruit salad for doing that.
