On Saturday, a U.S. military aircraft took down the balloon over the Carolina coast
After speaking with a reporter on Saturday regarding an action plan for the Chinese „surveillance balloon“ first spotted in U.S. airspace early this week, President Joe Biden stated „We’re gonna take care of it.“ And hours later, a U.S. military aircraft did just that.
According to AP News, the balloon was shot down on Saturday afternoon off the Carolina coast and an operation was deployed shortly after to clear the area below of any resulting debris.
In footage shared to Twitter by Open Source Intelligence Monitor, they detail that it appears as though „a missile fired from one of the F-22s is what was used to shoot down the Chinese High-Altitude Surveillance Balloon.
