The Us military only shot it down because of pr. Usually you ignore spy planes.
The are easy to track, and the military and airforce know how to sit around and wait things out.
America should retaliate with its own balloons with no Intel packages, instead the should be very visible, and at the ceiling of most fighters so China has to waste be anti satellite missiles on cheap balloons.
- ascotan 4y ago>>> America should retaliate with its own balloons I can imagine someone playing 99 luftballons in the background during the launch.
- pixl97 4y agoUm, it's kinda hard to do that to China especially in the winter. Prevailing winds would come out of Russia and more westerly countries. I don't think any of them are going to allow a launch or a flyover of a balloon to tease the Chinese government.
- gonzo41 4y agoActually I wouldn't be so sure. Western Navies are constantly doing freedom of navigation exercises.
- markus_zhang 4y agoChina did shoot down some balloons back in the day. This is 2019. https://weibo.com/tv/show/1034:4865451742920798?from=old_pc_videoshow https://weibo.com/tv/show/1034:4865451742920798?from=old_pc_...
