Earlier this year America's military defenses were put on notice against a Chinese balloon believed to be on an espionage mission. Gen. Mark Milley talks about what we've learned from an examination of the balloon's wreckage.

Nobody could have predicted this. I have my doubts even when they call it “spying equipment” or whatever considering Chinese claim it was a meteorological balloon, certainly no doubt they would try to paint those tools as such.

    That’s just the direct cost of the missile itself. The cost of flying the $200m jet I’m unsure of!

      It’s 70k per hour lmao. Amortized though so just 1 hour probably costs at least 100k
