US Military Shoots Down Chinese Spy Balloon Filled with American-Made Tech: Reports

The Chinese spy balloon that was shot down by the US military off the coast of South Carolina earlier this year was reportedly equipped with off-the-shelf American technology, according to US officials. The balloon, which flew over Alaska, Canada, and the continental US, collected photos and videos but did not transmit the information back to Beijing. The Biden administration believes the balloon may have contained American-made parts. Chinese officials have maintained that the balloon was a weather balloon that drifted off course.

Ukraine's Struggle in Bakhmut: Bombing, Shelling, and Defending.

Ukraine is using American-made Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) to target Russian forces in the city of Bakhmut, a crucial battleground on the war's front lines. The JDAM-equipped bombs allow the Ukrainians to attack from a less vulnerable position and hit targets with much bigger bombs. The Ukrainian military received a limited number of JDAM and JDAM-ER from the United States as part of a $1.85 billion military aid package. The fighting over the city continues to escalate, even as Russia has seen a heavy loss to its troops.
