Unstated is the exact altitude but it is reported to be 80 to 120,000 thousand feet. Conventional fighters don’t fly that high.

How can it be shot down at say 100,000 feet altitude?

It seems to have escaped china and continues to gain altitude until it can go no higher.

Send up an F15 and when the balloon is over farm or ranch land shoot it down. We have not done this. The reason we have not done this is China owns Joe Biden.
