Pilots made it clear it was not a balloon. A solid object with no visible means of propulsion.

Chinese spy balloon which was over Latin America and which the Chinese admitted was theirs?

Dropped because of bad weather in recovery area.

AIM 9X
Guidance and navigation

The infrared (IR) homing guidance section performs tracking and guidance functions. The AIM-9X is a system-guided missile employing a mid-wave IR FPA seeker. The seeker, equipped with High Off-Boresight (HOBS), can be used with a helmet-mounted sight for wider attack envelope.

It uses passive infrared (IR) energy for target acquisition and tracking. After the launch, the seeker follows the heat signature from the engines of the hostile aircraft.

The IR homing ensures the launch of the missile during the day/night and in electronic countermeasure (ECM) environment. The missile can engage targets in the near beyond visual range (NBVR) and within visual range (WVR) areas.

Similar to system that tracked the Tic-Tacs.

I understand the system, but how much of a heat signature can there be of a balloon at 60,000 feet that hass been cold soaked for weeks.

So, if you cover 80 ground miles while flying into a 20 MPH wind, and your airspeed is 100 MPH.

ONLY if it takes you an HOUR to cover the 80 miles.

If you cover it in 1/2 hour your airspeed is... 150?

All that solar power, after being stored in batteries and then USED, will release a LOT of heat!

Obviously the Pentagon is not and will not report what F22 sensors were inoperable or interfered with. This may be the plan of China all along to obtain electronic signals from our advanced fighters in order to test how to jam or interfere with them without getting into a dogfight or shooting war to do it. They send up a baroon with equipment to evaluate and obtain data and test jammers by having an F22 lock onto it.

What F22 sensors? RDF, ECM, EPM, BACN, MADL?

Radar Direction Finding equipment

Electronic Counter Measure or Electronic Protective Measure (AN/ALR-94 Elec. Warfare System)

Battlefield Airborne Communications Node

Multifunction Advanced Data Link (Satellite Communications)

APG-77 radar low-observable, active-aperture, electronically scanned antenna with multiple target track while scan in all weather conditions

What other classified signals intelligence on the F22 we do not know about!

Which sensors were affected?????

Next time send up a 4th generation fighter F-16 or F-15 to shoot the baroon or UFO down, so the Chinese can’t obtain information on our frontline fighters electronics and capabilities.

Except Biden and the US left are ACTUALLY NAZIs.

So no, it couldn’t be much worse.

“I have never seen, ‘airspeed,’ explained in that manner. As ass backward as can be. Are you a pilot that works backward?

Then you have never been in a cockpit.

I gave a very basic explanation, as that was the simplest way to explain it.

Here is someone else explaining it, since you disagree with me:

“It doesn’t make sense to me. I think there are plenty of F-22s at Elmendorf, that can do the job.”

There’s a lot of north between Elmendorf AFB and Washington state.
