Turns out a Ballon is the best military weapon ever....takes 1000 rounds and keeps going
"Two Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 fighter aircraft spotted the balloon over Newfoundland and fired more than 1,000 rounds at it. The AP reported that the jets, Canadian variants of the American F/A-18 Hornet, hit the balloon, but rather than popping or exploding and crashing to the earth, it slowly began leaking helium. The big balloon was still in the air.

A Canadian military spokesperson, a lieutenant named Steve Wills, told BBC that it was difficult to target the balloon, even though it was about the size of a 25-story building, and that the failure to take it out wasn't embarrassing."

Missiles can only hit things they can see.

By "see" I mean, what a radar can see.

A radar cannot see floating fabric.

All America has to do is launch balloons with B61-12 nukes over Russia and China with proximity fuses, if they shoot them down well they will bomb their own country.
