Seem rational so, as its a "spy balloon", I would suggest that the Chinese weren't big fans of putting transponders or radar reflectors on it. I'm not a intel analyst but seeing a BIG balloon towing a sophisticated electronics array and creating a LOT of electronic signal traffic MIGHT have been series of red flags. I think the thing that REALLY pisses me off is the use of a $400,000 missile just for visual effect. Why the hell did they use an F22/F35 for this when we have F16/F18 all over the place in the National guard. Maybe it was the column inches in the media... Me, just for fun, I would ask if we could have used a Global hawk with a cutter on the front to slash it :-) |
