I\u2019ve heard from someone who is retired Navy that it was an F-22 and it used a Sidewinder missile. That makes me wonder who dreamed that up? The Sidewinder is a heat seeking missile and balloons don\u2019t generate a lot of heat. (Hot air balloons do of course) Then there is the cost of the missile itself.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it would have to be a proximity shot and not a direct hit. If the missile had hit the balloon, I suspect it would have blasted right through without exploding. A proximity shot would have caused blast and lots of fragments would have been thrown into the balloon. I think using a simple 20mm cannon would have bee much more cost effective.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/ec\/b7\/4b\/ecb74b88a30bb04a177c6b6e46c0544e.jpg?resize=312%2C311&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"312\" height=\"311\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In any case, the damn thing is sleeping with the fishes, at least until the Chinese recover it.
