and not shooting them down with our ground based missile defense systems?

good to know that in the event of a real war we have to wait to give orders from Biden, to Trudeau, to the Air Force Commander at Elmendorf, to NORAD to scramble planes and wait 15 minutes for them to reach altitude and range.

because in real life, incoming enemy munitions are just going to wait around for us to get our act together.


An F-22 sortie and an AIM-9 is a lot cheaper than a missile that probably isn't even covering whatever part of Canadian airspace this thing was

Ok, WTF is going on here?
What are pilots who just flew with this thing a couple days ago doing talking to the media?

So assuming all objects are just balloons, how long do they take to make the trip? Have more been launched since the first was downed?

F-35 fighter jets were sent up to investigate after the object was first detected on Thursday, according to a US official. Kirby told reporters that the first fly-by of US fighter aircraft happened Thursday night, and the second happened Friday morning. Both brought back "limited" information about the object.

But the pilots later gave differing reports of what they observed, the source briefed on the intelligence said.

Some pilots said the object "interfered with their sensors" on the planes, but not all pilots reported experiencing that.

Some pilots also claimed to have seen no identifiable propulsion on the object, and could not explain how it was staying in the air, despite the object cruising at an altitude of 40,000 feet.

The conflicting eyewitness accounts are partly why the Pentagon has been unable to fully explain what the object is, the source briefed on the matter said.

In a statement Saturday, US Northern Command said the command has no new information to share about the object's "capabilities, purpose or origin," but noted that recovery efforts are being affected by Arctic weather conditions, "including wind chill, snow and limited daylight."

The statement added that "fighter aircraft" downed the "high altitude airborne object" on Friday following an order from Biden and said recovery operations for the remains of the object continue Saturday in coordination with the FBI and local law enforcement.

Kirby said Friday that Biden was first briefed on the object on Thursday evening, as "soon as the Pentagon had enough information." It "did not appear to be self-maneuvering," Kirby said.

It's unclear what the object looks like, or where it came from. On Friday, Ryder said it was traveling north east across Alaska. He declined to provide a physical characterization, only saying that it was "about the size of a small car" and "not similar in size or shape" to the Chinese surveillance balloon that was downed off the coast of South Carolina on February 4.

"We're calling this an object because that's the best description we have right now," Kirby said. "We don't know who owns it whether it's state-owned or corporate-owned or privately-owned, we just don't know."

Idk. I read the article and it's a "source who was briefed." I doubt very much this a leak the pentagon doesn't want out there.

Serious question: if you're going to use a fighter to shoot down a sensor platform… why offer up surveillance encounters with your premier platform? An F-15 or F-16 would seem far wiser.

From what I'm seeing (publicly advertised numbers), the F-15 has a fractional edge over the F-22. So if there is a material difference, then again - it's valuable data points to the enemy.

I think we are getting caught up in "service ceilings". The F-15 can go much higher than 65,000 ft. I think the issue is that the F-22 can operate and maneuver (think thrust vectoring) more easily at these high altitudes. I believe the F-22's ability to "supercruise" comes from it ability to get way up there where the air is thin.

Time to dust off an SR-71, slap couple of Sidewinders on it, and start kicking ass.
Wasn't there originally a version of the SR-71 called the YF-12A that was going to be capable of this but was never built?
