Maybe one of the mission planners was old enough to remember this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- More than 25 years ago, a gigantic runaway weather balloon presented a massive challenge for two fighter jets when they attempted to shoot it
down.
The balloon continued to float in the air despite being hit by more
than 1,000 rounds of ammunition in an uncanny incident that shocked
the world.
According to a report by the Associated Press, a research balloon
measured the amount of ozone in Canada. In August 1998, it took off
and flew across Canada, the Atlantic Ocean, and even the British
airspace before it finally entered the Icelandic airspace and drifted northwards.
Since the balloon went rogue, over 1,000 rounds were fired at it by
two Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) CF-18 fighter planes after they
spotted it over Newfoundland. The balloon was finally struck by the aircraft, but instead of popping or exploding and falling to the
earth, it leaked helium very slowly and remained suspended in the air.
Although the balloon was roughly the size of a 25-story building, a spokesperson for the Canadian military named Lieutenant Steve Wills
told BBC that it was challenging to target it. “With something like
this, which is stationary in the air when the CF-18s are flying very,
very fast, it is difficult to shoot it,” Wills said. ---------------------------------------------------------- https://eurasiantimes.com/1000-rounds-fired-why-canada-could-not-shoot-down-this-research-balloon-using-best-of-fighter-jets-25-years-ago/

equipment and skill of Canadian pilots is an unknown variable.

I'm mostly surprised that your own MTG didn't arrange to have them

detect them closer to launch, they could have Josh Hawley trot by them whereby the balloon would be sucked into his vortex never to be seen
again. Or, or, or how about getting some of them Jan 6 tourists to
leap on the balloons in their "patriotic" fever to save their dear
leader and stab holes in the balloons with their orange goon flags.
