Does our military even know how to shoot it down? With what and how? Fire a missile at it and hope it explodes? It’s just a big plastic/visqueen ball of helium!

Odds are it’s compartmentalized so that if one cell pops the rest don’t. Our JLENS blimps use the same concept.
But, an A2A or G2A missile could damage multiple cells with a single missile.
Just food for thought.

It has a large radar cross section, so it could certainly be targeted and destroyed. Of course you then have debris from both the balloon and the missile coming down.

It’s just a big plastic/visqueen ball of helium! Probably, but maybe not.
Could be filled with chemical weapons, or who knows what, including an EMP.
Might be best to capture it, and analyze.

That metal lattice probably reflected enough radar waves to be acquired. However, I heard that a sidewinder took it down which is IR guided. Pretty sure it wouldn't "see" a target that's be cold soaked for a week.
