    Hey everybody the F-22 now has a 100% win rate in air-to-air engagements. Utterly destroyed every single air target it’s engaged without taking a scratch. Woo USA number 1.

    Best part, it probably only cost the Chinese only a number of thousands to make the balloon, but to shoot one down costs the US somewhere in the ballpark of $2m USD per balloon.

    China should send a few thousand empty balloons over the US, since for every 500 China sends the US would blow $1b in defense budget if they shot them all down (this is a joke… kinda…).

      They shot down an hobbyist balloon in a similar way, er could put thousands of 12€ balloons in the air, and if we’re lucky they’ll reach the US one day, and they will have to drain their defence budget on them and can’t focus on stopping socialism
