The US armed forces shot the alleged Chinese spy balloon ever was already over the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and after traversing the entire country from coast to coast, as reported by US authorities.
Several fighters and refueling planes participated in the mission, but only one, an F-22 fighter jet, fired using a single rocket AIM-9Xas explained by a senior US military official. The balloon was shot down about six nautical miles off the US coast.
CNN reported the demolition citing anonymous official sources and explained it to the president Joe Biden He personally approved the attack on the aircraft.
The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA, for its acronym in English) had ordered the cessation of operations at three airports on the east coast of the United States and has closed airspace prior to operation.
The balloon was observed by first time last tuesday over montana and crossed overland to the east coast until it reached the Atlantic Ocean this Saturday, where it was finally shot down. Senior Pentagon officials had warned of the risk of the device falling to the ground because of the danger of the debris causing damage.
This Saturday, however, Biden declared that he was going to “take care” of the world. “We’re going to make it happen,” he said from Syracuse, New York, when questioned by the press about the possibility of shooting down China’s trial balloon, CNN reports.
“Intolerable Rape”
The United States assured this Saturday that China has lied by saying that the “spy balloon” that flew over the country in recent days and shot down today was a meteorological device and has described the fact as “an unacceptable violation” of the American sovereignty.
“The balloon never sent any military or physical threats to the American people, but invading our airspace for days on end was an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty,” a senior Defense Department official told media.
The Pentagon announced last Thursday that it was tracking the movements of a Chinese “spy balloon” that flew over the state of Montana (northeast of the US), which is home to one of three existing nuclear missile silos on US soil.
China admitted on Friday that the balloon is his, although he assured that “it is a civilian airship used for research purposes, mainly meteorological.”
