It turns out the balloons weren’t spy balloons after all. WHAT?? Who could’ve ever predicted this?
But of course, the first one still was. That makes sense. /s

Pretty funny that they spent like 1000 bucks to destroy that 10 buck balloon.
Is there another one? because I know they used an f22 raptor and a air to air missile to shoot the first one down and that cost has to be in the millions of dollars.
lol you think it was that much? i have no idea but anyways that balloon was a high value play lmao.
Oh yeah, the air to air missile itself is like $400k, and flying that jet is incredibly expensive. I think the maintenance hours exceed the flight hours or is that the f35. Regardless, it is a lot of meals for the homeless.
