US shoot the TaoBao ballon with a pistol gun can liao...useless toy from china
US also did that in China 50 years ago sending a balloon to China.
Nothing unusual. Started by US.
China shot it down.
.
Even a balloon talk for days, then, can shoot down.
Shame lah.
.
Once shot down, balloon disintegrated by itself.
Nothing to salvage.
Really need to fire a missile at the balloon? No less dramatic way to lower the balloon?? What a big waste of taxpayer's money with that missile... Lol
If the balloon is sky blue in colour, the US will not know it. That guy who spotted it will not be able to see it. It will not appear in the radar system.
So, the Chinese threat is neutralized, and the Americans are happy now? .....

It is the payload that they want to retrieve. Not the balloon.
It is a huge balloon that can fly up to 60000 ft. So firing bullet cannot bring it down immediately.
A good reason for CCP next time to shoot US satellite when it is over their region.. yeah..
