They can control it,it is able to loiter,and isn't simply at the jet streams mercy.
The Japanese sent a posse of balloons carrying incendiary and explosives on them in WW2,the jet stream brought many over the US,causing a couple fires in the Pacific NW as well as a couple civilian casualties.

Sounds like an answer you give when you don’t have one. Wouldn’t you agree? I believe we have more readily and less costly options, no?

"Affected by the Westerlies and with limited self-steering capability, the airship deviated far from its planned course. The Chinese side regrets the unintended entry of the airship into US airspace due to force majeure.” just released Chinese statement

If that’s what China’s statement is, I must be wrong. We all know how honest the govt and media is there :lol:

I'm just providing the Chinese statement here. I know we have crazy weather aloft this year but losing 2 balloons (at least) seems hard to believe.
