    I think it's stupider than that and they just went off course

      Yeah, this lines up with actual serious weather events. I think the bigger play is the US increasing "preparedness" and previously ignored civilian incursions are now triggering interceptions.

      Also all these pilots are finally on clearance to go live and are finding any excuse to shoot shit that they can.

        How long until some retired engineer just cruising around in a home-made gyrocopter gets shot down?

        Or a sidewinder misses the balloon and decides to target a civilian plane?
