When I was a naval serviceman. This Magazine was the best around. Insightful factual, and well-put together. It was No 1 in an Australian Navy ops room.
Excellent podcast; great guest. Thanks to Rear Admiral Andros for taking time to do this.
Indeed, I enjoyed watching and listening to how the different agencies, command structures, the integration of sophisticated equipment, types of ships, trained specialist in particular areas were assembled and acted as a unified force in the mission to bring the balloon down, and once down, applying all the talent and equipment to recover the balloon. I learned much about how our personnel work together, even the agencies applied their unique mission readiness for the national interest. Thank you!
Small units, important work, thanks for putting some light on this little known topic.
Definitely a testament to our great Navy, specifically sailors with high speed equipment coming together with other enablers to accomplish a new mission. Well done!
Thanks for sharing! Was hoping to hear about the LCAC's landing on Myrtle beach but nonetheless an interesting interview!
Finally they go😂the weather balloon
Thank you very interesting to see what actually happens behind the "TV reports" that we usually see.
Knowing very little about the Navy outside the Carrier Strike Groups the concept of the NECC is very interesting. Integrating See-bees with EOD, Exp. Supply, and the Maritime Security Force is a sound idea. If fighting ever went down in the INDO-PAC such units could in theory be in charge of a small chain of islands, look for UXOs, rebuild what was damaged or build/enhance the infrastructure and provide local security under a single command.
This admiral has now given information to the Chinese
“Port Facilities Repair”; I wonder if they’re in Baltimore right now?
Adm. Halsey had this observation in 1946: "If I had to give credit to the instruments and machines that won us the war in the Pacific, I would rank them in this order; submarines first, radar second, planes third, and bulldozers fourth.”
Guys and gals. Overall a great Channel, but your audio levels consistently need attention. Way too low.
Nowadays, there are pictures from all over the world from google

It's a drift away WEATHER BALOON, and you taxpayers spent tens of mllions of dollars to shoot it down then recover it from the bottom of the freaking ocean. Hope you lot are happy with that kind of waste of public money.
says the china man
I disagree. First, as the Admiral said, it was very good training. And training costs money anyway. Second, it's ALWAYS worth recovering intelligence tools. Just looking at things can tell the FBI what the PRC was looking at or looking for. For example, a Giger counter is going to be different than an IR camera, or a weather measuring instruments. By knowing what someone is looking at or for, you can gain great insight into their own military or strategic or even tactical thinking. Now here's something you might not know. A navy is expensive. and it doesn't cost much less if it's sitting in port. You still need to power the ships, maintain them, pay for personal costs, meals, housing, medical care, etc. So while you consider this a waste of tax money, I consider ships sitting in port and not training and improving the skills of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen, to be a waste. Ships last longer when they are crewed and doing something. Rust and barnacles gather in ports, or so the saying going. Oh, and that wasn't a weather balloon, it was a recon asset of the People's Republic of China. Had the situation been reversed, as I'm sure it has been, I'm sure the PRC and PLA-N, wouldn't hesitate to shoot down and gather the remains of a "weather balloon" from anyone else. It's the way intelligence and world diplomacy works. Everyone spies on everyone. Everyone feigns outrage when someone else is caught red handed, and the world goes on. But this wasn't even close to a waste of money on the part of the Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, or FBI.
And I disagree with you. We don't need to blow it up. We could have brought it down in one piece.
By the way, a formal US cia say that a Chinese spy satellite does a better jobs than a hot air balloon.
The true story of the tens of millions of dollars spent.
It's not our balloon. Ok we shooting it down. No wait it's ours but it's a weather balloon. Why is it so big with solar panels? sorry my bad I meant it's a civilian airship that got lost. Too late. Why you do this?, White devil warmonger. It's a spy balloon, we will check the remains. No don't touch it, send it back right now we are developing country so cannot buy new one, but you know America has sent lots of spy balloons over china in the past. Who made it? Confidential information 😂 . You know we asked the weather balloon company. Webin* sweat like river* look at this picture proof. 🧐 What is this this picture is completely different from the balloon we shot down. Wait a moment I need toilet
Moral of the story confirm with webin before making UA-cam , baidu ,tik tok videos
BALLOONEY!
Be it a "spy balloon" or "weather balloon", it's not something new. Both countries have been flying things like this for years. Some would "accidentally" be found in each other's airspace.
The biggest problem isn't the money spent on shooting it down and recovering it from the ocean, but it's a dangerous sign that military can effectively influence politics by selectively spilling "information" to the media, in this case, just few days before Blinken's trip to China.
I bet we got more useful information from the balloon than the Chinese did.
What is it that is supposed to protect our two hundreed mile limite let alone 12..!
Did we learn anything from the balloon recovery?
Yea, US wasted 4 million dollars to shoot down a weather balloon. Very powerful.
They never recovered the pilot Li in lo?
