Biden To Attempt To Shoot Down Chinese Spy Balloon Today To Capture And Study It

[BothWings]

The Chinese don't even really know have to know for a fact if we shoot it down. It could just be an "accident". Does anyone have an idea what the average altitude of the balloon is?

This administration has been far more effective at dealing with China than Donald Trump ever was. The Chinese are now back on their heels and utterly embarassed over this, not to mention, the USA will undoubtedly capture one of their spy balloons.

After it successfully completes its mission!

They are trying not to kill anyone after shooting it down or would you prefer there are people killed over a dirigible?

Biden wouldn't let the military shoot it down for one reason and one reason only. Xi did not give Biden permission to shoot it down.

Xi owns Biden.

About 60,000 feet.

About 60,000 feet.

Ok!. definitely out of range for a "hunting accident" then.

Too bad they don't have a section for children here. You would fit right in at that site.

Why don't you tell everyone that you suggested dropping an anvil on top of it to make it come down?

I'd rather drop an anvil on your head.

Well, you'll never do a damn thing setting at a keyboard, get moving, son.

You think that balloon that is several hundred feet in length, 60k feet in the air will just drop straight down?

No one said anything about falling straight down, silly. Instead of 60k feet, China can get pictures from 500 feet. It's not rocket surgery.

They should just get Google Earth.

 

[Jim H - VA USA]

At 60,000 feet??? Or was that comment in jest?

Not from the ground, silly.

We don't need to fire a hellfire missile at it. Just need to punch a bunch of holes.

Montana Governor Gianforte said last night, that it should have been shot down over his state, becasue no one lives in Montana...

Then why do they have two Senators like every other state?

Screw China and all the China nut clingers on this site.

That pesky Constitution you clowns love to ignore.

According to Tucker Carlson last night, the US had been tracking the balloon since before it came into our airspace.

They should have shot it down long ago, well before it hit Montana, but they could have shot it down over unpopulated Montana as well.

The balloon may have already completed its mission!

If it was a Russian balloon, you can be sure it would have been shot down immediately.

Biden 'WILL try to shoot down' the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic so it can be retrieved and studied - as aircraft is due to exit the east coast over the Carolinas by noon today​

• The aircraft was tracking towards the Carolinas this morning and is due to exit the east coast by noon after passing over sensitive nuclear sites in Montana
• Biden decided against shooting the balloon down over US soil over fears for American lives and sparking an international incident, a senior US official said
• Now the Pentagon is planning a shoot down and capture mission over US waters

Biden praises Top Gun F-22 jet pilot who shot down China spy balloon

An F-22 Raptor out of Langley Air Force base took the balloon down with a single missile at 2.38pm, separating its surveillance payload and sending it plummeting towards the ocean off Myrtle Beach.

If there's any truth to the article then it's an action long-overdue... it should have been brought down before it got anywhere NEAR our missile-silo complexes.

Perhaps they were worried about a "poison pill" effect? Radioactive or biological warfare materials on-board, unleashed in the event of take-down or impact?

I'm probably off-base on that - and not making excuses - but the ChiComs are ruthless enough to do such a thing and our people MIGHT have thought of it.

I suppose it's also possible that we fly stuff across THEIR borders often enough that we didn't want to start a shoot-down tit-for-tag.

I wonder if pedo Hitler will use his shotgun?

He likes F-15's.

Just to demonstrate how retarded and living in denial these Trumper degenerates are, B. Kidd labeled this headline from Forbes as fake news. Because they are so fragile, they cannot deal with all the news that keeps coming out about Trump's treason.

The Chinese "leased" space in Trump Tower, knowing that Douchebag Donny values money over country or anything else, so they bought him. Just like the Saudis buying huge blocks of hotel rooms and event space regularly at his D.C. hotel. The Saudis also bought an ENTIRE FLOOR of Trump Tower that no one occupies.


Add Blaster To the lift of fragile snowflakes.

We don't need to fire a hellfire missile at it. Just need to punch a bunch of holes.

When a weather balloon went rogue almost 25 years ago, fighter jets fired 1,000 rounds at it and couldn't bring it down​

"With something like this, which is stationary in the air when the CF-18s are flying very, very fast, it is difficult to shoot it," a lieutenant said.
