That seems a great USN weapon. Instead of the limited radar horizon of surface ships one gets true AWACS coverage. I am pretty sure eventually these things can fly "over the weather" and stay airborne for more than a month.
Technically Chinese is better, goes 10x higher and has full thermal, infrared, nightvision with added facial recognition while using any of those. Nobody really understands what that balloon did. It scanned all defence systems in the US including Alaska and bases in Canada. Genius War tactic. North Korea is getting ready to launch ICBM tests closer and closer to US. Also testing the defence systems. Bidens a b!tch
Looks kinda redundant, stationary big target, and maybe stupid, or a Tax Boondoggle "to Me" when we have Air Systems that can cover similar Areas, Portably, and covered with Countermeasures? maybe about the same price or less per unit with more flexibilities?
a giant blimp so jet pilots can land to fuel and to reload with missiles a flat to blimp on the side of the have propellers on front middle and back to stabilize the blimp
There is no way that costs over a few million dollars let alone billions. I’m not saying we didn’t spend billions but that has to be a money laundering or payoff scheme... Goodyear blimp which looks to be better and more advanced, only cost $21M...
She said it will fall in a highly populated area of Montana 😂😂😂😂she ovy never been to Montana and does not know that Montana doesn’t have highly populated areas 😅😅😅
It's a waste of money have any idea how many satellites the US has in space I'll give a good example Elon musk alone has thousands and he's one individual.
Why don’t you put some ears on it and Collett Dumbo reconnaissance should be exactly as it is reconnaissance you should know who is where and what is who and who is it and what is it
hm this lazer on boing noze 20 mile range sirculating over enemy stratedzic launchpads was only 60 billion , cant give scissurs to theze baloon dudes, ball goes to space
This definitely gonna age well x 2023
Since this one has a clear ballast system. Where the current one does not. Ye I would say so.
China said; copy, paste
Ammm Balloons were invented in China.

the problem is the tether
And has a cable that can cut a commercial aircraft in half instantly:)
$2.7 billion...?!!! And, gets shot down by a $10,000 drone...:D :D
DID YOU SAY RATHEON ? OH OF COURSE YOU DID LOL.
Yo!!! China!!! ... this is what a real Spy balloon looks like.

I guess they had a ballooning budget
That thing was known as the JLENS ten plus years ago
It can do a nice shooting target for a cheap drone,so simple.

Could it possibly be more phallic ???
Looks like an over the horizon platform used to give coordinates to Ukraine I mean to the US forces.
Is ballon high enough to avoid storm n thunder??

If it can loiter for an entire month it's worth it
No it’s not
@@Xmw92ba3oenalfk9 doesn't matter what you think sorry.
@@Xmw92ba3oenalfk9 China has 20 of these balloons. You act like you know so much buddy.
We used them for drug tracking on boats. Tracked both boat and airplane.
We? Who’s we?

Tell me you don't understand the importance of radar without telling me you don't understand the importance of radar.
Well you never know, I agree with you but in a war, other countries might just develop technology to destroy em. But you never know, but good point. 👍
Your comment didn’t age well buddy.. apparently China disagrees.
@@The0nlyy right
It looks especially wiener-like, even for a balloon/blimp.
The woke air fairies have a new toy

Holy shit learn to type better.

First to comment!👍️👍️
Yes you are!
What a waste of money
