This balloon thing is soooo amusing. It appears the USAF may have used a $400,000+ missile to destroy registered US amateur balloon K9YO-15 on its 6th trip around the globe over various international airspaces. Well done, you shot down an #Arduino: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/the-us-airforce-may-have-shot-down-an-amateur-radio-pico-balloon-over-canada/

@vik $400K for one #Arduino Uno isn’t that ridiculously high. Have you seen the cost of shipping electronics out of the USA to New Zealand lately?

@SpoileralertIn the original German version they're not red, so even closer.

@acyberexpert Oh yes. Yes I have. Particularly after the demise of Fasttech, keeping the Fab Lab supplied is problematic.

@martin That's happening, indirectly. When the Yanks get scared of balloons, apparently the Ukrainians do too. But notice how this WP article skates around the Americans shooting down one of their own balloons https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russian-spy-balloons-over-ukraine-are-often-decoys-designed-to-draw-fire/ar-AA17A1rr
