The suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that traversed the U.S. before it was shot down was capable of collecting communications, a State Department spokesperson said.
Why it matters:
It also had solar panels big enough to produce sufficient power to "operate multiple active intelligence collection sensors." The State Department is "confident" the balloon's manufacturer "has a direct relationship with China’s military," the spokesperson added, though they did not name the company. The balloon's capabilities were determined using high-resolution imagery from U-2 flybys, the spokesperson said.Judging from the Chinese government's public comments around the issue, "it’s clear that they have been scrambling to explain why they violated U.S. sovereignty and still have no plausible explanation — and have found themselves on their heels," the spokesperson added.
