I seem to recall reading .mil nerdery (probably off some Reddit threads) about these things in 2021/22. Weird shaped drones, swarms of smaller ones, surveilling military activity at the edges of the US. It’s not a huge surprise that drone tech is being used for this, is it?

What I don't understand is why go public with this. Are we supposed to believe that this isn't standard procedure among global powers? Didn't we in the west get basically real time images of the secret Uighur prisons in China, of the new government and military constructions in the deserts, of the nuclear sites and increase in nuclear armament? China has announced today that there has been more than 10 US balloons detected so far this year in their airspace, which to be fair is probably true.
Unless it's more cold war style US propaganda I don't get it

My slightly more anodyne guess is that China has been sending these spy balloons for ages and the US has just finally decided enough is enough.
