Is Canada footing the bill for the fuel for the F22 and I’m assuming another $500k Sidewinder missile? Is no-one questioning this Kirby idiot why are we using such an expensive weapon to take down an object that can be taken down with literally a slingshot?
Incorrect. The Canadians tried 20mm cannon fire on a balloon a few years back. Pumped around 1000 shells at it. Took 3 days to come down. The shells just pass through the cloth, making little holes.
I do want to see your slingshot that can hit a balloon @ 40,000 ft., though. Sounds like a great varmint plunker.
