Research balloons, just hobbyists putting cameras up on high—altitude balloons. but theyjust weren't seeing those before. and so now, having opened up the velocity gate, they're now having to try and classify and potentially intercept a lot more things that theyjust we ren't noticing before. make no mistake, if any object presents a threat to the safetyj and security of the american people, i will take it down. _ well, i think we need to focus on the real issue here, which is the impact all of this has had on an already fragile and fraught us—china relationship. i mean, the united states h...

Weeks ago. the president of the united states in what can only be described as a panic, ordered the u.s. military to shoot down three balloons. they were probably private weather balloons similar to hundreds of such objects in the sky around the world that pose though threat to anyone. the source of balloons used by hobbyists and meteorological clubs can cost as little as $12. the missiles used to should the down the objects cost $400,000 each. the shootdowns were ordered, of course, so that no one could claim that joe biden was soft on china. china is a serious, strategic competitor, the most...

Much wider velocity gates. so they're suddenly seeing a lot of sort of floating objects, of which there are many that are not spy balloons. you know, weather balloons, research balloons, just hobbyists putting cameras up on high—altitude balloons. but they just weren't seeing those before. and so now, having opened up the velocity gate, they're now having to try and classify and potentially intercept a lot more things that they just weren't noticing before. make no mistake, if any object presents a threat to the safety and security of the american people, i will take it down. well, i think w...

Is that the us appear to have reprogrammed a lot of their surveillance radars for air defence purposes with much, much wider velocity gates. so they're suddenly seeing a lot of sort of floating objects, of which there are many that are not spy balloons. you know, weather balloons, research balloons, just hobbyists putting cameras up on high—altitude balloons. but theyjust weren't seeing those before. and so now, having opened up the velocity gate, they're now having to try and classify and potentially intercept a lot more things that theyjust we ren't noticing before. make no mistake, if any...

Will simply filter them out. the wider you make those kind of velocity gates in terms of what the radar is looking at and what it's disregarding, the more clutter you'll have to deal with, and so the better processing you'll require in order to get usable results for military purposes. what's happened since the chinese spy balloon incident in the us is that the us appear to have reprogrammed a lot of their surveillance radars for air defence purposes with much, much wider velocity gates. so they're suddenly seeing a lot of sort of floating objects, of which there are many that are not spy ball...
