๐จ๐ณ๐ค๐บ๐ธThe operation to neutralize the Chinese balloon involved: ๐๐๐๐๐
- 5th generation F-22 Raptor fighters (one of them hit the balloon with an AIM-9X missile),
- F-15 fighter-bombers,
- Coast Guard helicopter MH-60,
- US Navy auxiliary ship USS Carter Hall,
- airborne early warning and control aircraft E-2A Hawkeye,
- nuclear aircraft carrier
- air command post (doomsday aircraft) E-4B Nightwatch,
- refueling aircraft KC-135 Stratotanker,
- potentially other ships and aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration closed the airspace andย issued a ground stop at three airportsย in North and South Carolina on Saturday afternoon, ahead of the operation. Flights resumed shortly after the balloon was taken down.ย
After the operation, Biden said :
They successfully took it down, and I want to compliment our aviators who did it.๐คก๐คฃ
All this was done to shoot down one Chinese balloon. ๐๐
