Spy balloons, used by Japan to drop bombs during World War II, are now far more sophisticated, can fly at up to 200,000 feet, evade detection, and can carry a small nuclear bomb that, if exploded in the atmosphere, would shut down the grid and wipe out electronics in a many-state-wide area.The threat of balloon-launched electromagnetic pulse attacks was warned about by a congressional EMP commission and inside the military several years ago.
“Using a balloon as a WMD/WME platform could provide adversaries with a pallet of altitudes and payload options with which to maximize offensive effects against the U.S.,” he wrote in the report. On Friday, he told Secrets,"China’s recent balloon flyover of the United States is clearly a provocative and aggressive act. It was most likely a type of dry run meant to send a strategic message to the USA. We must not take this for granted.”
EMP experts have warned that China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran have programs to hit the U.S. grid with electromagnetic pulse weapons that would cut the cord for a year or longer. A congressional report has warned that a blackout that long could result in millions of deaths.
I said that…
Respond in kind!See what the CCP does!Biden Admin is so weak!
Finally they're connecting the dots
Our government just told China they can get away with almost anything and we will do nothing. Absolutely spineless probably because China has the goods on the Biden Clan.
It's Rona filled with new Fauci strains...
Why would you do a dry run that alerts the target?
Can't shoot it since it is booby trapped.
Critical infrastructure is the war of the future, not missiles nor soldiers.
Hahahaha your tiktok fear mongering didn't work so now it's nuclear balloons, huh?
