If they are balloons, why are we wasting taxpayer dollars shooting them down with heat seeking missiles? Wouldn't a couple of hillbillies with deer rifles in a crop dusting plane be a lot more economical?

Not at 60,000 feet. That’s almost twice as high as airliners cruise and is at the ceiling limit of most fighter jets. Plus, this gives pilots opportunity to do a missile shoot. Something they don’t get to do very often.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
