Russia could shoot down U2 in 1960
In 1960 Russia shot down a fast moving U2 spy plane at 70,000 ft. and we can't even shoot down a Balloon, something wrong, where is all that military spending gone on, looks like nothing.

Nope.

It was ONLY when NUMBNUTS air supply broke down that the U2 came in 'range'...

Soviet TECH really sucked back then...

HENCE the overflights with impunity.

That is why the blackbird was built, which they were never able to shoot down.

Anyway this post is about why we can't shoot down a weather balloon.
