I mean look at the US response to the Chinese balloons - took a bit of time and ended up being handled by fighters not missiles

  That one was flying around 60,000ft and weighed probably about 1 ton. Very different kind of balloon. It was shot down by an F22 with an AIM-9 Air-to-air missile. This is the highest altitude air-to-air kill known, and the first combat kill of the F22 platform.

    What a meek first kill. The F-22 is meant to attack swarms of Chinese fighters over the South China Sea. One day it will.
