Taiwan’s defence ministry said it had detected six more Chinese balloons flying over the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, one of which crossed the island, the latest in a spate of such balloons the ministry says it has seen over the past month-and-a-half.
The ministry earlier this month, in a strongly worded statement, accused China of threatening aviation safety and waging psychological warfare on the island’s people with the balloons, days before Taiwan’s Jan. 13 elections.
They need to start shooting them down as soon as they enter Taiwanese airspace
Wouldn’t that be a good way to waste a lot of valuable air defenses. If you’re spending millions to shot down balloons that cost thousands is that really a win?
Who said it costs millions to shoot it down? It’s a baloon, couldn’t a prop plane with a machine gun take it down? Or just a cheap drone?
