US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US did not identify the plane that was shot down over Alaska.
Kirby stressed that Washington does not yet know who owns this air object. According to him, the balloon fell into US territorial waters. The speaker noted that this was much smaller than the Chinese bubble that had previously been dropped on US soil.
Previously at the White House reportedThat the US military has detected a balloon over Alaska. At the same time, the United States has yet to claim that the downed plane was collecting intelligence.
Kirby noted that the downed vehicle was at an altitude of 12 thousand meters, and its parts fell into the ice-covered sea areas. United States of America take into accountthat the dropped balloon was unmanned.
Previously at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reportedThat the Chinese balloon, which was dropped on the territory of the United States on February 4, contains many tools for collecting data and belongs to the entire reconnaissance fleet of the PRC.
