Hmm, so this was a big balloon and I assume that we could calculate it's approximate weight. Thus determine if it SHOULD or SHOULD NOT have a transponder and enable a course of action based on that.

as to the $400,000 missile I mention that because it seems to be the WORST approach ( if it was a sidewinder) in this situation. It's a fragmentation package and probably would scrap ANY intel platform PHYSICALLY as I would assume the Chinese bricked the electronics the moment the fighter got close.

Thanks for the reply
