Quote HistoryQuoted: First kill for the F-22? Hell yeah. Taking out a hostile target over domestic airspace, that's a win! kek Seems like a win would be shooting it down before it crossed all our airspace, not after it was leaving. I don't think this was a win, this was just a show. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What. A. Fucking. Embarrassment. We let China violate our airspace. Fly over numerous sensitive sites likely picking up all sorts of intell on the way. As it leaves our airspace and heads to international waters, we drop it with a fucking missiles so it crashes fast and destroys anything we can learn from it? I mean, common sense says use the guns and let it slowly descend. This is a complete an total failure at every level. Nothing here was done right. Nothing. I don't know what we could have done worse. This country is beyond fucked. Another in a long string of failures.

" A senior Defense Department official told reporters Thursday that the U.S. prepared fighter jets in case of a decision to shoot down the balloon, but senior Pentagon leaders opted against it due to fears of falling debris hurting people on the ground.
Another DoD official on Friday said the military had estimated the shooting down of the balloon would create a debris field 20 miles by 20 miles. “Last thing we wanted was for something the size of a school bus to go through the roof of a preschool,” the official said. " |

What type of ground cameras do we have that might have been used to observe the instrument package attached to the balloon? I know we have cameras that track our rocket launches with pretty good detail.
Pretty sure we were recording what it was being broadcast from the package and also know it was done with crypto. |

- lol at the "goin hot" cheerleaders
- the commies almost certainly rigged the payload to separate in case of lifting body disturbance - super-light fragile structure, robotics, comms, and other electronics will frag heavily on hitting water at terminal velocity - nothing to recover except the bag and bits of frames/panels - water shootdown ensures coverup complete - everyone involved was just following orders |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Exactly. They'll probably won't even bother to attempt a recovery. If we can recover it, we'd be able to figure out exactly what intelligence it was gathering. Then the chorus would start that Biden should have shot it down weeks earlier. This isn't a 'Merica FUCK YEAH! moment. This is a cover up. |
