I’m thinking the same thing. Why would they use a missile to down a balloon.The machine guns they have on these jets could tear it in half with a burst from their machine guns. I guess they use missiles because we the tax payers are paying for them. Personally me as a U. S. citizen with very young family members , I know they are safe & there’s no doubt it’s down. But I agree with you!
