Did they really need a MISSILE to take that thing down? A MISSILE???
Wouldn't a couple bullets have done the job? Or a sack of thumbtacks?
My confidence in MIL is getting lower and lower.
A bullet would of allowed a slow descent where a ship could position itself for it to land on deck ?
Well missiles were required to bomb kids in tents within Iraq and Afghanistan, so what's a balloon in American airspace?
I think it's more like the random ass balloon in this ufo video: https://youtu.be/slKSea83VGw
Thats a lot of $$$ for a missile but how much is it really when compared to equipment left behind in Syria and Afghanistan and the Pentagon twice just 'lost/cant find' trillions in their budget.
That would be/is a bit ridiculous even if our government, generally, overpays for most everything.
Thet actually shot two of these missiles. They missed on the first shot the, second shot took it out.
