Another unidentified balloon was found and shot down over Canada.
Including the shooting down of a reconnaissance balloon that invaded the U.S. mainland via Canada earlier this month over the Atlantic Ocean on the 4th, it is already the third similar incident in a week.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on the 11th that he had ordered the downing of an unidentified object that had invaded Canadian airspace, and that the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) shot down the object in Yukon, northern Canada.
Unlike such a thorough air defense network, South Korea is facing global embarrassment because it is not even able to defend against North Korean drones while being close to hostile North Korea.
Prior to Prime Minister Trudeau’s announcement, the North American Air Command said, “a high-altitude flying object has been spotted over northern Canada and fighters are operational.”
The unidentified organization was immediately pursued by Canadian and American fighters, and the American F-22 fighter successfully shot down the mission.
The U.S. media reported that this downing is similar to the one that a U.S. fighter jet found and shot down a high-altitude object over the northeastern coast of Alaska the day before. The collection of the wreckage of the balloon (balloon) that was shot down that day was delayed due to strong winds and strong winds.
It has not yet been confirmed which country the balloon was shot down over Yukon, Canada, and what its purpose was.
Prime Minister Trudeau said the Canadian military would retrieve and analyze the remains of the object.
The US estimates that China has sent reconnaissance balloons to 40 countries around the world to collect military intelligence.
In this regard, the U.S. Department of Commerce added five companies and one research institute involved in China’s reconnaissance balloon development to its list of export sanctions.
