Washington said, ‘We will not return the remains, spare parts and equipment recovered from the downed Chinese spy balloon to China’.
Last week, the US detected a Chinese spy balloon flying over US airspace at an altitude of 60,000 feet. The balloon was immediately monitored.
Modern tools
When US President Joe Biden was informed about this, he ordered to shoot down Baluan.
The U.S. military continued to monitor it because it could pose a threat to civilian safety if it was shot down in flight over land.
The spy balloon entered North America’s Canadian airspace and returned to South Carolina in the United States.
On the 5th, while flying over the Atlantic Ocean near South Carolina, the American fighter jet shot down the Chinese spy plane.
The remains of the balloon, spare parts and modern equipment fell into the sea. The US Army is involved in the recovery process.
Information gathering
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said:
China’s spy balloon violates international law and sovereignty.
The recovery of the remains, spare parts and equipment of the balloon which has fallen into the sea is going on. We have recovered some parts and tools. We will not return them to China.
Before we shot down the balloon, we gathered all the information about it.
We are investigating this information. After recovering the remains, spare parts and equipment of the balloon, I hope to get more information about the spy balloon, he said.
