I thought the balloon incident is mostly humorous, Americans predictably seething because they want to shoot a harmless balloon...cmon let's just shoot it!!
But then I thought about it some more, and maybe balloons are actually the new meta?
- Can potentially manuever anywhere by going up/down to catch air currents
- Can potentially loiter for weeks or even months
- Can get better images than satellite
- Can carry variety of munitions
- Hard to see when it's high up
- Hard to detect with radar
- Cheaper than a Patriot missile
Balloons over Ukraine when?
