The country should be so proud—a million dollar missile to shoot down a balloon. Wow.

a million-dollar missile to shoot down a balloon...

Well, it was carrying a reconnaissance package that possibly cost the Chinese well over 10 million dollars.

And the Chinese got information from it that was possibly worth 100 million dollars.

We are talking about expendable equipment here on both sides.

split second on the trusty MG woulda done the same effect.

Only reason to use a damn missile is to leave nothing left......
