U.S. officials introduced that Chinese balloons that appeared over the United States were shot down in the seas of 6 nautical miles outside the Atlantic Ocean, and pointed out that it was relatively lighter, which may help obtain Chinese monitoring equipment components in the next few days.Essence
According to Reuters on Saturday (February 4), a U.S. military official said that the fragments have been scattered in the seven -nautical waters, and many U.S. warships have arrived at the scene.
Reuters believes that US officials seem to be to downplay the impact of Chinese balloon on US national security.
A senior U.S. military official said: "Our assessment result is that it is unlikely that it is like the information capabilities such as nearly orbit satellites.Learn more information after collecting fragments. "
The official also introduced that multiple fighters and tankers participated in the task of shot down the balloon, but only one F-22 fighter aircraft was 2 pm on the 4th local time at 2 pm.At 39 (Singapore time, 3:39 am on the 5th of Singapore time), a AIM-9X was used to find hot air-to-air missiles and shot down the balloon.
Reuters believes that the Republican Parliament's political enemy's finger in Biden failed to take action quickly, and Biden may continue to be closely examined by these people.When the Chinese balloon approaches the United States, how much information may be collected is a problem extended by this incident.
A US defense official pointed out that the balloon first entered the US leader in Alaska on January 28, and then entered the Canadian airspace on January 30.It entered the United States again through the northern Edhata state on January 31.When the balloon passed by the US land, it did not go to the open waters, increasing the difficulty of shooting down.
A U.S. official said that the United States refers to the appearance of gas balls in the United States, which obviously violates the sovereignty of the United States, and notify China on Saturday that it has a balloon.
