^^^ Why doesn't the slant of this thread surprise me at all considering the source and OP? Never mind that it is already common knowledge that the USA actually /assisted/ China in teaching them how to make good spy balloons!
We don't use spy balloons.
That is what U-2s were for, until we replaced them with satellites.
Balloons can't carry enough, are impossible to control direction, and are a waste of money since they can't be reused..
