Shop NowNew reports show that the Chinese spy balloon was able to gather sensitive intelligence on America’s military. The Biden Administration has clearly lied again as they had released public assurances that the Chinese spy balloon had not been successful before it was shot down.
China Joe Lied Yet Again!
Now the nation learns that the Chinese spy ballon collected intelligence from sensitive military sites. The Biden Crime family has millions of reasons to be soft on China.

However, the balloon did gather intelligence about “several sensitive American military sites,” NBC News is now reporting.
NBC claims that the Biden administration’s efforts to keep the balloon from compromising U.S. sites failed, at least in part, two former and one current government official backed up the reporting.
Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of U.S. Northern Command, told The Associated Press in February that “the U.S. ‘took maximum precautions’ to prevent the balloon from collecting information as it crossed the nation.”
But even with those supposed precautions the spy balloon made “multiple passes over some of the sites (at times flying figure-eight formations).”
We knew exactly what China was doing. Biden Balloon debacle adds to his overwhelming incompetence. https://t.co/gKokHWFgQm

NBC reports that the information recorded by the balloon was then uploaded to China in real-time.
The Officials told NBC that the information China received would have consisted of mostly electronic intelligence or ELINT. This kind of intelligence is gathered by decoding the transmitted data by military personnel or by U.S. weapons themselves.
Biden was able to move suspected targets out from under the balloon’s course and in some cases even shut down systems “by stopping them from broadcasting or emitting signals.”
The Department of Defense claimed in February that the spy balloon would gather very little information “over and above what [China] is likely able to collect through things like satellites in low earth orbit.”
Finally. What we expected finally comes out. The #China spy balloon transmitted sensitive data about our military sites as it eased it’s way across America. Biden waited until it completed its mission to shoot it down. #BidenWorstPresidentEver https://t.co/papJ3akIaa

This begs the question of why China would go to the expense of creating and launching the balloon if it had little to no effect in gathering data.
the balloon entered U.S. airspace on Jan. 28. During its trek across America the balloon flew over Malmstrom Air Force Base, one of three Air Force bases at which the U.S. stores Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles.
