Reply to comment by Diligent-Kangaroo-33 in US officials disclosed new details about the balloon's capabilities. Here's what we know | CNN Politics by taci7c0ff33

A balloon with an EMP charge on it could cripple 1/3 of the US power grid.

As a SIG-INT ISR tool it could intercept and divert critical defense communications.

N.B.C. Warfare isn’t really my area of expertise, but anything aerosolized at that altitude would be a highly effective weapon.
