Tiongkok Balloon Crash
Greetings to all viewers.
Today we will break the news of the Chinese balloon crash and US military operations.
On February 4, 2023,
the United States shot down a Chinese balloon
flying over the US and Canadian airspace.
Meanwhile, China claimed that the balloon was an unmanned weather plane
that unintentionally crashed from the runway.
However, Pentagon officials said
it was a reconnaissance balloon used by China
to monitor strategic locations on US soil.
After being shot down,
the US inspected the balloon components and distributed the results to NATO.
From the beginning of the balloon impact in the heart of the United States
to the final missile strike in South Carolina.
Next, let's take a look at the history of the Tiongkok balloon crash.
According to various sources,
the balloon was released from Inner Mongolia or Xinjiang in western China around December 8.
The incident of the Chinese spy balloon was detected on January 28, 2023.
The conflict broke out in early February 2023.
The balloon flew over the US-Canadian airspace
to a number of Latin American countries.
On January 28,
the balloon was first seen in the US airspace above Alaska north of the island of Alleywood.
Then on January 30, the balloon entered the Canadian airspace.
At that time, the US Air Force's Air Defense Command
spotted it and made sure it was an unmanned balloon.
Why did the US make sure it was an unmanned balloon?
Let's take a look at the balloon first.
The first balloon moved eastward above the US at an altitude of around 18,600 meters or 60,000 feet.
The balloon flew over a sensitive area in the western state of Montana
where a nuclear explosion had occurred.
The Pentagon spokesman said that the balloon could remain above the US for several days.
It flew at an altitude of 18,300 meters in the stratosphere.
The balloon itself is 61 meters high, made of non-latex plastic,
has a flight-size capacity and can weigh several tons,
is equipped with a small motor and propellers,
and can be controlled to fly over a certain location.
How did the US military make sure it was an unmanned balloon?
Let's take a look at a high definition video taken from the ground.
From here it is clear that the camera seems to be busy working.
Is this a deviation caused by Force Majeure?
It is a situation that cannot be avoided
and is forced because the incident happened out of the blue.
The key is evidence collected by a very professional and complete US military
from a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, the U-2S.
The US military launched the U-2S,
the only reconnaissance aircraft that can fly higher than a balloon.
High-quality visuals collected from the balloon
and absorb any electronic radiation it emits,
this reconnaissance aircraft can use strong data
to share information collected by ground personnel in real-time.
The U-2S can monitor it from a top-down approach
or an up-and-down approach using various sensors
to provide additional information about the balloon's descent and performance.
The U-2S is also equipped with a series of capable electronic warfare,
flying in close proximity to the ground,
disrupting any communication sent by the balloon to the satellite above it.
On January 31,
the balloon returned to the northern airspace of the US.
At that time, US officials considered firing the balloon,
but the firing would not reduce the risk of safety on the ground.
The Pentagon then prevented the balloon from collecting sensitive information from the ground
and ensured that there was no activity or sensitive communication
that was not encrypted around it.
On February 1,
the balloon flew over Montana above the Malmstrom Air Force Base.
Here, the balloon was seen by civilians,
then took a photo and posted it on the Internet,
attracting public and media attention.
Clearly, this shocked the Pentagon
because there were several nuclear missile silos near the Malmstrom Air Force Base.
Austin's Defense Minister immediately held a meeting with military leaders,
including General Glenn David Vanhook,
Commander of the North American Command and the North American Air Defense Command,
as well as Mark Alexander Malley,
General of the United States Army,
and the 20th Joint Staff Chief.
At that time, all flights at Logan Billings International Airport
were suspended for about two hours
because the winners were considering what should be done.
The US military immediately deployed F-22 fighter jets
to take off and standby in the air
and immediately acted as soon as they received the order.
But in the end,
Malley and Vanhook suggested not to shoot the balloon
because of the risk of falling to civilians.
Biden instructed the Pentagon
to shoot the balloon as soon as possible
for the sake of public safety in the waters of the US territory
and to explore its capacity.
He also instructed the military and intelligence to monitor
the performance of the balloon.
NASA began to analyze and assess the possibility
of the area where the balloon fell
based on balloon crossings, weather, and space calculations.
Regarding this incident,
US Secretary of State Blinken
called the most senior official from the Chinese Embassy in Washington.
On February 2,
the Pentagon issued a statement saying
that it had found and launched a high-altitude reconnaissance balloon
that flew over the US airspace
and took action to prevent it from collecting sensitive information.
Meanwhile,
members of the parliament who knew about it
asked for a related briefing and began to criticize Biden
for not immediately shooting the balloon.
The report said there was a second Chinese balloon
that flew over the airspace of Central and South America.
The military continued to learn the option
to shoot the balloon safely.
National Security Advisor for President Joe Biden,
Jake Sullivan,
reported the latest conditions to the President.
On February 3,
the balloon was seen by civilians
flying over Kansas and Missouri.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
issued a statement for the first time that day
that the balloon was a weather plane for civilian use.
The Chinese side regretted the entry of a plane
that was not deliberately sent to the US airspace because of force majeure.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
used the term law for actions out of human control.
Because China's response was not sincere
and completely inconsistent with the facts,
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
canceled his trip to Beijing.
He was previously scheduled to meet with the Chinese Secretary of State
on February 5-6, 2023.
On February 3 that night,
Biden heard a report about plans to shoot the balloon on February 4
in Wilmington, North Carolina,
including the type of plane used to shoot the balloon
and the naval vessel used to pick up the balloons,
as well as an intelligent analysis of the balloon performance.
Biden immediately agreed to the plan.
Throughout the night,
the National Security Council and the Pentagon
tried to ensure that everything was ready to launch the plan.
On February 4,
the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
accused several US politicians of postponing Blinken's visit to China
and the media used the incident to discredit China.
Even so, the US would still act according to plan.
Before the balloon was shot down,
the US Federal Aviation Agency
had issued a flight ban on several airports in North Carolina
starting on Saturday morning.
As a result, several airports were forced to stop operating,
starting with Charleston International Airport,
Myrtle Beach International Airport,
and Wilmington International Airport.
The US Air Force launched 2 F-22s and 2 F-15s
and sent the KC-135R tanker from several countries.
The F-22s flew with the callsign Frank-01 and Frank-02 in the mission.
The callsign was to pay tribute to Frank Luke Jr.,
a world war hero.
Luke Jr. destroyed 14 balloons and 4 German aircraft.
The US Navy also deployed the P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft,
the USS Oscar Austin destroyer,
the USS Philippine Sea explorer ship,
and the amphibious lander USS Charterhull
to help retrieve the balloons.
Meanwhile, the US Coast Guard
sent the Hachette 130 search and rescue aircraft.
After everything was ready,
at 14.39 local time,
when the balloons flew away from US soil
in the waters of the US territory in the North Atlantic,
the F-22 flew at an altitude of 17,700 meters
and launched the AIM-9X Sidewinder missile,
firing balloons that fell at an altitude of 18,300 meters to 19,800 meters.
The balloons fell 6 nautical miles from the beach
with an estimated depth of 14 meters under water.
The military began to try to retrieve the balloons.
Meanwhile, the media continued to cover China's reaction.
On February 6,
the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs insisted
that the other patrol balloons found in Latin America
were civilian balloons protruding from its path
and criticized the excessive US reaction.
On February 7,
when asked by a reporter from the Chinese company where the balloons came from,
the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs refused to explain.
On February 9,
the US government said that China had a fleet of balloons
flying in more than 40 countries in five continents.
The balloon that was shot down was only one of them.
These balloons were able to collect intelligent signals including communication and radar.
Intelligent information includes communication reports,
electronic intelligence, measurement and hand signals.
The intelligence of images obtained through satellite photography
including visual light, infrared imaging, ultraviolet imaging,
synthetic aperture radar or motion indicator imaging,
etc. are generally not considered intelligent signals.
On the same day, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said
it had never heard of a fleet of balloons when asked by a reporter.
Regarding the equipment under the balloons,
it also said it had no relevant information.
On February 9,
the administration officials of the Pentagon,
the Department of Foreign Affairs and Intelligence
gave a briefing to parliament members about the balloons at Capitol Hill.
The main points of the briefing were
1. Xi Jinping did not know before
2. The balloons did not collect new information
because when the US found the balloons,
China stopped sending information.
In addition,
the US has also taken action to protect sensitive information.
3. Balloons are capable of collecting photos and signals
or better intelligence collection than satellites,
have better maneuverability,
and soar above the target for a longer period of time.
4. Components taken from balloons
are useful for US intelligence research.
On February 10,
the US officials said
they had found parts of the hardware
still intact from the balloons at the bottom of the sea,
but had not taken it because it was needed by the ship.
It was more than 9.1 meters long,
but because of the fierce sea,
the work of carrying the balloons was only continued on February 13.
On February 10,
the Biden administration included 6 Chinese entities
related to the Chinese balloons in the blacklist.
The US Ministry of Trade said
five companies and a research institute
support the modernization of the Chinese military,
especially the Chinese military reconnaissance program,
including airships, balloons, and related components.
The six companies include
while the other three are
and
On February 10,
the US officials said
they shot a high-altitude object
that threatened a plane off the north coast of Alaska.
An American fighter jet
shot down an unknown flying object
off the coast of Alaska on Friday, February 10, 2023
under direct orders from President Joe Biden.
The spokesman for the National Security Council of the White House, John Kirby,
said that the object was shot down
because it flew at an altitude of about 12,000 meters
and potentially threatened civilian flight safety.
He described the size of the object as almost the same as a small car,
much smaller than the Chinese balloon
that was shot down by a US fighter jet
on Friday off the coast of South Carolina.
The US Weather Bureau issued a statement
saying it was not a weather balloon
because it did not float in one place.
An AIM-9 Excite Wonder missile
placed by a F-22 fighter jet
shot down the object
after the Federal Aviation Administration
closed about 26 kilometers
off the coast of Alaska
near Brent Point, Alaska.
The balloons fell into the frozen water of the US.
Logically, it would be easier to take a break from the ice.
Long-range aircraft HC-130,
HH-60,
and CH-47 aircraft
were deployed to collect the balloons.
On February 11,
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
allowed a US F-22 fighter jet
to shoot down a mysterious flying object
over the Yukon region of Canada
which is about 160 kilometers from the US border.
The Pentagon then confirmed
that President Biden and Trudeau
ordered the US military to shoot down the flying object
with the AIM-9 Excite Wonder missile
over Canada
after coordinating with Trudeau via telephone.
Officials described the flying object as
a cylinder-shaped object
and smaller than the balloon shot down on February 4.
On February 11,
the Federal Aviation Administration
closed the airspace of the western part of Montana
in support of the National Defense Operation.
The military confirmed on February 12
that the F-16 fighter jet
shot down a flying object
over Lake Huron
near the Canadian-US border.
Could this be another Chinese balloon?
At that time,
the White House issued a statement
that there were no bubbles
found in the three balloons above.
This is a doubtful statement,
a fact that has become a mystery.
Is the United States facing something
that cannot be published?
However,
at least there is one thing that is real,
namely the eyeballs
and the area of the airspace
that is surrounded by the flying object
is also real.
So,
is the near-distance Stratosphere competition
between the United States and China
has begun?
Let's just wait for its development.
Thank you for your attention.
