HISTORY OF BALLOON WARFARE FROM NAPOLEON TO CHINESE SPIES

Given the current events resulting in the IS Air force shooting down the Chinese Spy balloon which have been flying over CONUS for the past several days. I wanted to make a quick video about the history of balloons in military service, and the potential of what dangers a balloon could actually pose to the US today. It is not as simple as one may think, if we open up for potentials, and I will also as a military historian and soldier address why using a missile was a poor choice.
Enjoy and learn.
