#Balloon or spy plane gives 50x more signal strength. 100x more dwell time. 5000x #SignalToNoise. Plus 1/10th the time of flight (for #MITM and active #sigint or jamming). Countermeasures are expensive.
And 100x more #propaganda and diplomatic leverage. US used to allow Russian #SpyPlanes to surveil our nuke silos (per SALT and other treaties) almost monthy. Public didn't get to see them so nobody cared.

The infamous #spyplanes collection is now complete: the SR-71A is now being joined by the finished U-2C (#Article360).
Both not exactly the most practical models to park on a shelf... 😂
