Apparently USAF mistook a 13$ bottlecap balloon with a UFO

[StraightEdge]

Even if Chinese decoy costs 5K, it is still a win for the Chinese as the US will spend 500K to destroy it.

Not to mention the amount of brain cells the entire country lost to debate this balloon-shit.

 

[Brainsucker]

Wow, China should send more US$13 balloons to US land. I'm sure that Raytheon will be more than happy to share their 1% of profit to China, for their sudden raise of profit from their Sidewinder Missiles sales to US Military.

 

[Abdul Rehman Majeed]

Then we will know it is a decoy.

Wishful thinking.

Chinese make things at a fraction of your cost.

My man did you seriously cite daily mail as a source?
Their articles are garbage and clickbait 99.9% of times.

Nice whataboutism
Most Indian sources are crap but everyone and their mother knows dailymail is a fricking cringe tabloid whose main source of income is clickbaits. It's reliability is like citing 4 chan as your source of info.

The real thing to notice is that an object that size moving that slow was detected and hit by a missile.

Exactly any radar has to be amazing to spot something round and this small from a far distance.

I wonder how far away it was when it was first spotted.

Wow spotted off the coast of northern Alaska as it was heading south...damn!

PavePaws!!

May be that is the real lesson to be learned by those wishing to test US defenses.

Up to today...

USA military hadn't found any real UFOs...

Kinda disappointing anyway.

For the Chinese surveillance balloon, how much money do you think they invested then lost? Now, if you want to invest in a fleet of balloons, some real and some decoys, how much money do you think that venture would cost you?

With Chinese industrial and manufacturing capabilities $15 the most

Surveillance tech doesn't cost $15 mate

My man this is just an conspiracy theory plus your website heading itself says "feared" and then the context talks about something else and those balloons don't fly at that altitude.
