On February 11 2023, an American official reported that a U.S. fighter shot down a third unmanned aircraft in a week, this time over northern Canada.
North American Aerospace Defense Command, a joint US-Canada entity that defends airspace over the two countries, discovered the item flying at a great height over Alaska on Friday evening, according to U.S. officials. After a week-long controversy over an alleged Chinese eavesdropping balloon, North America seemed to be on high alert.
The shootdown was initially reported by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who also promised that his Canadian forces will recover and examine the aircraft's wreckage.
According to the Pentagon, U.S. President Joe Biden cooperated with Canada to take down the high-altitude craft. Following close collaboration between U.S. and Canadian authorities, a US F-22 downed the object on Canadian territories using an AIM 9X missile.
It was shot down at 3:41 EST (2041 GMT) while in the air at 40,000 feet (12,200 m), where it presented a threat to civilian aviation traffic.

Do NOT expect a cogent analysis or response from our Dipshit -in Chief. He's in bed with them. That balloon, and ensuing devices that have been shot down since are all part of an observation response by China in my book. My sense is that they're preppin' for Taiwan....and the tests they're running over us will reflect that. And, I want to be clear here. China and Russia met not long ago and in that meeting, MY sense is that the plan was for Putin to continue his campaign and waste Russian military conscript lives from his outer borders in order to deplete NATO stockpiles. UK just this week stated that, they had to reduce their readiness because of sending stockpiles to Ukraine. My point is this.....Putin will willingly, sacrifice thousands of poorly trained and equipped conscripts to hold NATO in place and drain their resources as China prepares to invade Taiwan, negating a mutually supporting American response to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Am I off? Let's see.
