It was said, by the WaPo, to have been shot down at 60-65 thousand feet, by a Sidewinder. Cheapest air-to-air missile we've got. But I suppose it would have been cheaper to have the fighter close and try to down it with 20mm cannon fire.

NY Times says the gondola was 'roughly the size of three busses.' That sounds pretty big. Wonder if we're sure it wasn't manned?

It seems to me that those who supported overthrowing our government a couple of years ago have no standing to opine on national defense issues.

The difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden (other that one being a career criminal and other a decent, honorable man): When faced with a Chinese spy balloon, Trump kept it hidden from the public and let it pass. Biden kept us informed and shot it down in a manner that resulted in us getting more intelligence than the Chinese did while protecting Americans on the ground.

Poor little Marco the Rube learns that his big Orange Daddy let three balloons cross the border without any action.
