But Jai Hind PR is literally the worst kind there is. It’ll be better to let it slide, honestly.
You know this how?
They are going to do it over the Atlantic so if they miss it wouldn't be an even greater humiliation.
I'm just guessing, how likely is that the balloon has the propulsion to go all the way back to China? It'd be a cool surprise if it can do it, but I just wouldn't bet on it.
If the Chinese thinks a slow moving balloon won't be detected, the pentagon also wouldn't want to reveal that they could or could not detect it.
Supposely the balloon part is difficult to detect but the hanging piece of equipment is likely reflective as a aircraft. But I imagine radars at one point were program to scrub out slow moving objects but ML/AI and excess cpu could prob help with categorizing.

They think they can control the landing of the balloon if they can shoot it down so they can examine the payload or prevent it from going back to China? That's unpredictable. If it was full of super advanced technology, China would probably have a self-destruct so I doubt there's nothing advanced and like they can prevent China for getting its secrets it took when it was probably already transmitted back to China.
It could move back up in altitude to catch a wind stream out of the area. These balloons are mostly drifiting around with the wind currents , moving up and down in altitude to catch or uncatch

And yet still not detected until it was visually spotted... I read in an article that because the balloon is moving with the winds and the material of a balloon doesn't bounce back like it were metal, it would be interpreted as a natural phenomenon like clouds on radar.
