I posted a good History Guy piece on balloon shoot downs through history.  

Canada had a chance with a rogue weather balloon a few years ago.  He reported a pair of RCAF F-18s threw a thousand rounds of 20mm at it with no affect.

You have to hit it to have an affect.

Imaged a 1000 balloons with different trajectories coming towards the united states.  How many could we detect and stop.  Could easily be a weapons delivery system.  A couple could have nukes to air burst.

The way to stop these balloons isn't by continuing to waste valuable air to air missiles on them over the long term. The way to stop them is to start fucking around with the country launching them so they get the message and cease their activities.

There’s a reason we are doing this. They are testing us but I don’t know how. Are they checking what our capabilities are? Are they checking to see how weak we are? Are they actually doing reconnaissance mission?

Yup. How many times are you going to let them get away with it? Time to push back. It is obviously intentional and at this point certainly seems to be an attempt to spy or test our abilities.  The fact we are wasting F22 frame time and AIM-9 missiles is enough.

Thanks.  I've got an ex girlfriend up there but she went liberal loony, government supporter.  We used to still talk a fair bit including some politics but I think covid finally broke her brain, she got bent out of shape when I complemented Canadians on the world's largest trucker convoy.  

He's definitely one of the worst "world leaders" in his own retarded but completely WEF owned way.  Hopefully you guys can win the fight against Ottawa.

Mmmm, socialized healthcare for everybody is such a great idea.

Man, covid broke a lot of people's brains up here. The Canadian army actually admitted to running PsyOps on the population. If someone was already on the edge, they'd be easily pushed over.

If the Chinese are smart, they will send dozens of balloons a week to be shot down. After a while, it will start to attrit our air-to-air missiles stockpile. Expend a $1,000 balloon to cost us a half million-dollar (or more) missile. It would be a smart investment on their part.

Worst case for the Chinese, we get bored and stop shooting them down. Then they can go back to sending the high dollar spy rigs unmolested, or worse.

This...

I mean, I hate to say it but it is an interesting strategy. Helium is expensive but there really is no reason not to use hydrogen. They could make hundreds of decoy balloons a week if they wanted.

Fortunately, we have this thing called a "laser" that can take them down as fast as they can make them.

And there's always this guy.

I assume they weren’t tracked due to speed (slow). Now that it is an issue those targets won’t be excluded
