Good lord...

Concerns have grown that China may reach the wreckage of their downed spy balloon before the US Navy as a salvage vessel won’t be on the scene for days.

US officials confirmed that an F-22 Raptor fighter jet shot down the balloon with a single AIM-9X sidewinder missile at 2.38pm on Saturday, six miles off the coast of South Carolina.

Better hope WW3 don’t break out because we are fricked if so, that is just pathetic.

I was actually expecting the Bee. If our Navy can't beat the Chinese Navy to a spot 10 miles off of our coast, then we are truly fricked.

How would it even be possible for them to find it before the US Navy does?

It's not. A dude filmed the takedown from his backyard in S.C. Anyone saying china beat us to it is lying.

I saw this entire shitshow on an episode of McHale's Navy back in the day, except it was a Jap balloon.

This is click bait.

While multiple Navy and Coast Guard vessels are in the area establishing a security and search perimeter, the senior advisor said an official salvage vessel won’t arrive until a couple of days.


Brandon is incompetent, but China isn’t getting to this wreckage.

This is what happens when our military is run by the woke generation. There was a time when we were feared and respected. Now, we are laughed at. This truly is pathetic.

the current US military is a joke. no wonder commanders are holding formations to tell the troops to help with recruiting.

A sad, sad comedy of errors run by puppet masters, directed by George Soros.

And we would welcome the Chinese military into waters? Would we even try to deter them?

Insane.

Hoft is ridiculous! The thing was shotdown nearly 8mi inside US territorial waters. US naval vessels are on site. How in hell does Hoft think the Chinese will reach the balloon first?
