       You honkies need to realize high altitude operation is a very diff. thing when you get up there. The air density requires totally, vastly different things than it does down low. Shit like the SR71 is meant for flight up there, and it’s not maneuverable at all. (Granted I’ve not researched this and it’s all off the top of my head from experience over the years and assorted brochure reading, give a lot of slack on numbers and such) When you take a plane up to its service ceiling, it’s a bit like trying to run on black ice. You don’t have the ability to pivot and juke like you would on tarmac. It’s that same sensation when you’re at the absolute limit, ass below the horizon as the plane grunts and pulls at just to maintain a 2 fpm climb. You’re just barely getting the required lift to maintain your altitude, or you’re climbing just enough to outpace your rate of descent. You’re on the edge of a stall, you can feel it, you’re asking for too much from your wings, and the plane wallows like a fat old man after thanksgiving as he waddles to the niggerball couch.

       @WashedOutGundamPilot If all this is true then why do we even bother making strategic bombers and ICBMs when we could put all the bombs and missiles on airships and attack the enemy with impunity?

       If this gay balloon is REALLY at 60,000 (I’d expect more, with some variation. 60k strikes me as a machine-limited reading more than accurate alt) then it’s right about the advertised (probably fantasy, just like saying a 2005 mustang still has 305 hp after this long) ceiling for most of our planes. And they’re old. And worn out. And not really accustomed to making a 1.5 hour climb to see how high they can get. So, you’re galloping along in an F15 with greatly diminished maneuverability, trying to hit a target that’s going 1/200th of your speed, riding the edge of your performance envelope (bc you’re trying to go as slow as you can while retaining enough lift to stay aloft - oh, and you’re probalby underfueled and underloaded, gotta minimize drag)

       Except:  The balloon doesn’t have a huge infrared signature. No big ass turbine engine with a 1300º hot section like your usual targetsand its a multi-celled fabric sheatheand it’s going so slow it’s almost standing still (a problem they had in vietnam going against prop fighters w/ jets. you don’t have a lot of wiggle room)So you can try to…..approach from the sunward side and hope that the surface is warm enough for your IR to make it out against the -40º temps and howling winds that surround it (which, BTW, your missile is likely at the very edge of its envelope too, meant to be used in air 3x more dense for its promised performance)

       Now, it’s still possible. But do you wanna be the chump selected for it? Biden and the Koshernostra surrounding him tell you to make it count on the first shot. No do-overs. No second passes, since the world will see loop after loop of runs and laugh endlessly about american incompetence. It doesn’t matter, all of the above are excuses. They tell you that there’s only one option: To absolutely destroy it on the first try, and do so in a way that doesn’t imperil any americans on the ground. Now you have the political layer. Can you? Eh….yeah. Can you do it cleanly? eh……..That’s my bet on why they let it go with the F-22s. They had an opportunity and passed on it. Now that everyone knows and they’re watching intently, the hour to act has passed. It’s even more embarrassing to blow it up after it finished its mission like this. It’s the worst of all worlds: slow, inefficient, wishy washy, weak-willed, panicked, and prideful

       @caekislove Balloons have poor payload, among other things. You’re being taken along for a ride on the jet stream. There’s a reason we didn’t, everything has a trade off, and the operational limitations of this old stuff is exactly why it takes us by surprise: we lost interest in denying this capability in 1970 and assumed everyone else had done the same

       @WashedOutGundamPilot So what I'm hearing is that this balloon strategy actually has some tactical merit to it as it's simple nature and the height it's operating at makes it almost impossible for what you think they would send to deal with it to effectively remove it. Guess you really can out dumb smart systems sometimes.

       @PunishedD I kinda wonder if something like a 50 would really be sensitive enough. IIRC they had anti-balloon rounds that would just ignite the second they touched anything harder than air for this exact reason.

       I think it’s funny how everyone talks about american decline and incompetence, but this happens and suddenly it’s “well duh, why don’t they deploy that cool railgun I saw in transformers? Where’s the laser they had installed in that 3-mile power complex in nevada? why can’t our hyper competent military boys package that up in an hour’s notice and deliver it across the country?”

       @WashedOutGundamPilot My theory is that the military industrial complex completely failed to come up with a good solution for balloons over domestic territory.  The reason they didn't shoot it down yet is because they can't do it without overkill like an missile with too high a yield.Right now the brass are probably shitting their pants and demanding "innovative" solutions from stateside resources.  They probably thought they would only ever be defending against ICBMs and boats full of immigrants.

       @pyrate They could have but that’s outside american territory, outside the ADIZ and it’s none of our business. By the time it gets into our purview, it got too much attention on it and we risk looking retarded swinging and missing. I did this thread to explain that it’s not as simple as popping a mylar balloon with a safety pin,but normies don’t know that. Everyone in the world is looking at balloon memes already - that would get much worse for washington (run by paranoid jews and roasties who REALLY stay up at night thinking about what people say about them) when people watch flightradar and see that it took 4 F-22s all day to finally get the thing to start descending

       @WashedOutGundamPilot You would think that a radar would see it. But modern radars use Doppler shift to differentiate moving targets from clutter. Below a certain speed it just looks like more clutter and gets discarded before ever reaching a display.

       @Robert_Edwardly @pyrate I actually think there’s a fine chance it is weather. I can’t think of anything they’re getting up there that they aren’t getting down low already. They have whatever they want to spy from within the USA, they have companies with expansive complexes totally chink-owned, ripe for whatever glowniggardry they wanna perform. Maybe they’re doing signal attenuating or something though, Flying over and getting the radiographical lay of the land to figure out which stations are broadcasting where, so they can figure out which ones they’re listening to bouncing off the atmosphere. Just spitballing, there’s probably a 1000 signals uses for it but that’s not my purview. There’s some use for it but I can’t make sense of what you can ONLY learn at 60k’ that you can’t at 100 or 100,000

       @Twoinchdestroya @pyrate Sucking it up and being willing to waste $3 million on warheads, I guess. Maybe something radar-directed launched from a B2 or something, if that even exists. I’d bet the ‘best’ way is just accepting that you’re gonna be rolling the dice on potshots hoping that you can lock on a missile, that it hits, and that it explodes with enough damage to actually take out the thing. IDK what the metal stuff is on it though. It’s cold, and likely very light, lots of space in between everything so there could be difficulty in making sure a proximity fuse goes off.But ordnance is also not my thing. This is all just a very intersting engineering gap we seem to have

       I would be concerned with the dispersion of any laser weapon system. 60,000 feet is a lot of distance for bits of dust and spread to weaken it. I think free space optical systems start maxing out around 1-2 miles (5-10k feet).There was that chemical laser system, the YAL-1, but it was retired/canceled in 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_YAL-1If I were tasked with building a system to destroy this balloon, a ground controlled solid fuel rocket launched from as close to directly below the balloon and explosive-propelled shrapnel to shred the balloon material would be the direction I would go.

       @WashedOutGundamPilot Wouldn’t a satellite pose a greater challenge  for their one missile (it’s probably been replace by now) from the f15 test?  If it’s final stage can maneuver in no atmosphere, and doesn’t require anywhere near service ceiling launch in newer jets (iirc it was 30k-35k) why wouldn’t it be a viable option for this?

       @sargoysmuck Satellites are more metal; have more hard, flat surface area to reflect off of; have larger infrared signatures depending on their power source; and they stand out against the blackness of space better than a balloon in the atmoif I had to guess. All these questions are probably a bit like when roasties ask “Instead of shooting the bad guy why not just shoot the gun out of his hand?” Sure, we can, but when you really want to be sure of hitting it, are you certain?

       @WashedOutGundamPilot @Robert_Edwardly @pyrate if it's on purpose, it could just be to ruffle feathers and make ZOG look bad publicly, weather seems too good an explanation for it to just happen to be over an ICBM base (I think I saw someone talking about this so in going to assume it's true because I am lazy)

       @WashedOutGundamPilot 60k altitude is probably disturbingly close to the airframe's Q corner where the difference between stalling and critical mach are just a few knots apart. Not many pilots are going to want to occupy that corner of the doghouse.

       @sapphire @caekislove @WashedOutGundamPilot It worked, but was covered up by the US. They didn't want the Japanese to know it was working so they'd give up. Albeit, they were guided, so it wasn't a precision attack. However, the Japanese goals wasn't for it to be.Ironically, one even hit near a site critical to the Manhattan project.insidescience.org/news/japanese-balloon-attack-almost-interrupted-building-first-atomic-bombs
