I don't see how China would willfully continue send these balloons without expecting a symmetrical escalation. Sure, they managed to send a few relatively undetected until the past recent weeks, but continued attempts would surely produce a physical response from NATO states, whether that's sending balloons of their own or overflying Chinese territory with other aircraft, or increased signals intelligence operations.

So like what, a similar but bigger balloon?


"Mr. President, we must not allow a balloon gap!"


I love that movie so so so much that an "Yes minister" really captures it all.


No, more like X-37B, but perhaps one that can skim the atmosphere, i.e. with scramjet propulsion.


More colors, unlike the boring monochrome available under Communism


I've heard rumors of an advanced stealth coating called 14-4318-TCX.


That's just a blue sky theory.
