The Minutemen sites in the middle of the country were intended to draw enemy fire deliberately as part of the Nuclear Sponge. Let them look with their satellites all they want. There is freedom of overflight in space; there is no such freedom of overflight in the air column within national borders.

I think it more likely that the balloons are listening ears to figure out US radar envelopes and communication bands.

US secretly amassing killer drone swarms to repel China

The US is moving to accelerate the development of autonomous drone swarm technologies, which have proved effective in the ongoing Ukraine war and in simulations showing their decisive effect in a Taiwan contingency scenario.

This month, The Debrief reported that the US Department of Defense (DOD) had launched the low-profile “Autonomous Multi-Domain Adaptive Swarms-of-Swarms” (AMASS) project to develop autonomous drone swarms that can be launched from sea, air and land to overwhelm enemy air defenses.

The report says that AMASS aims to develop the capability to launch and command thousands of autonomous drones, working together to destroy an enemy’s defenses including air defenses, artillery pieces, missile launchers and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms.
