Ну от нахуя такий Єблан і такий Пентагон Америці?
Китайці вже вільно запускають розвідувальні сратостати над США, а наші єблани бздять...
A surveillance balloon attributed to China has been flying over the continental United States for days, but the Biden administration says it poses no significant risk.
A large surveillance balloon attributed to China is flying over the western and northern United States at high altitudes. On Thursday, Nellis-based F-22 Raptor fighter jets were spotted near Montana, reportedly shadowing the balloon.
In a statement, NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), which coordinates the air defense of the United States and Canada, said that “the ballon does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground at this time. The baloon is currently traveling at altitude well above commercial air traffic”.
FThe Pentagon acknowledged that this incident is not unheard of in recent years, but that this time the balloon incursion is longer. “Once the balloon was detected, the U.S. government acted immediately to protect against the collection of sensitive information.”
“First, we are confident that this high-altitude surveillance balloon belongs to the PRC [People’s Republic of China],” said Pentagon press secretary Brigadier General Pat Ryder.

"In terms of the discussions of whether or not to shoot down this balloon, that was an option. It was something that was taken into consideration... Because we assess that it currently does not pose a physical or military risk to people on the ground, for now we are continuing our monitor and review options," Ryder said on Friday.https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-pentagon-declines-to-take-down-chinese-spy-balloon-says-it-will-continue-to-monitor-as-it-moves-east?utm_campaign=64483
