What was shot down over Billings
Posted on 2/4/23 at 2:59 pm to TitusCrow
Regardless, bombers aren’t encroaching (by definition) our airspace.

So the message to our adversaries is, if you build your spy balloon big enough, you’re good, we’ll leave it alone.

just wait until you learn about all of the soviet bombers that encroached on our air space in alaksa that we didnt shoot down
Scruffy distinctly remembers learning about how the USA would simply let the Soviets fly through US airspace.

What’s the story with the dog mask?
Posted on 2/4/23 at 3:06 pm to Ross
Oh man. That’s a rabbit hole I’m not sure I want to subject you to

yes?
if anything does that not make the point here? russian bombers are a national secuirty threat, we immediately respond and send them on their way
this thing wasnt and was so high up that we couldnt just send a plane up there and deal with it

Yeah and Sweden will join NATO before summer of last year 
Go back to the Ukraine thread.
Go back to the Ukraine thread.

The point is that, in the past, there was an IMMEDIATE response when an encroachment by a foreign power occurred.
Apparently, that is no longer the case.
Hell, some people seem to even hold the view that as long as it is “low tech” what is there to worry about?
“They have more powerful satellites already. Why even care about this?”

As someone else posted, if we can’t calculate out a possible impact area, we are lost already.
The US military shot down an orbiting satellite in 2008, yet this was too daunting of a task.

No I’m literally not. I don’t think this was a spy balloon. I think this was a calculated release to test the responses of foreign governments
Covid, this balloon etc. are just psychological stress tests being run on the peasantry. Those at the top of the financial food chain now own governments around the world down to a local level( Soros DA’s). Everything they do is intentionally calculated.

probably wanted to let it do what it was supposed to do and then shoot it down to see what they could recover to analyze?

Do the ChiComs not know how to use spy satellites?

How did they shoot it down?
Posted on 2/4/23 at 3:22 pm to 225Tyga
It was 60,000 feet up. No gun fired from the ground is hitting that m

“this thing wasnt and was so high up that we couldnt just send a plane up there and deal with it”
Again, you don’t even have to use super secret sci-fi tech.
We were shooting objects out of Earth’s orbit, heights of 200+ kilometers, over a decade ago.
