Taiwan’s defence ministry said it had detected six more Chinese balloons flying over the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, one of which crossed the island, the latest in a spate of such balloons the ministry says it has seen over the past month-and-a-half.
The ministry earlier this month, in a strongly worded statement, accused China of threatening aviation safety and waging psychological warfare on the island’s people with the balloons, days before Taiwan’s Jan. 13 elections.
Who said it costs millions to shoot it down? It’s a baloon, couldn’t a prop plane with a machine gun take it down? Or just a cheap drone?
They float at like 60000 feet plus. There’s a reason why america used the F22 to shoot the balloon down.
Shit, that’s crazy. So even a drone wouldn’t work without some stupid expensive rocketry.
Send up a counter balloon. Or shoot it with a laser. Or send up a counter balloon with a laser.
