Modern warfare with "primitive" technology? Analysis: Why are the US and China still using spy balloons?

Modern warfare with "primitive" technology? Analysis: Why are the US

The news that shocked the USA today and not only was the discovery of a Chinese balloon in American territory, which caused the visit of American Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to China to be canceled due to suspicions of espionage.

It seems a little strange that the "war" with espionage between the two world superpowers is taking place at these levels, considering that the major countries compete with each other all the time for the latest weaponry and the inclusion of artificial intelligence in this field.

The first use of a similar balloon on the battlefield was in the 18th century by Napoleon. They were also used to point artillery in the American Civil War and featured prominently in World War I, but were eventually replaced by airplanes and zeppelins.

Now the world's superpowers are once again turning to balloons to gather data for intelligence services and spy on enemy targets. This is exactly what Washington has accused Beijing of doing with the recently found balloon.

The Times reports that modern balloons operate at an altitude of more than 15 miles, often higher than commercial airliners fly.

Unlike low-orbit satellites, which capture images of military installations as they orbit the planet, balloons allow more data to be collected while staying more stationary in one place, plus the fact that they are often undetectable by radar. and almost impossible to notice with the naked eye by civilians on the ground.

The Times points out that China's use of the balloon this time could serve as a reminder of China's superiority in another technology: hypersonic missiles.

This is because Montana, the area where it was spotted, is the "home" of the American nuclear missile silos at the Malmstrom air base. Doubts are that this was exactly the objective of the observation.
