It makes the americans look pretty stupid to shoot a balloon with a 200k sidewinder. It only took a few hundred dollars to downed a 32 million drones.

Why was a US drone near the Black Sea? Why was the US aircraft transponders off? The boundaries are known by the US. The US says its international air space but that is not agreed upon with Russia.
Per Kim Iversen's interview with a Russian ambassador, Russian jets were scrabbled but did not make collision with the aircraft. "As a result from quick maneuvering, the drone went into an unguided flight with a loss of altitude and collided with the water surface."
He explains if an aircraft was hit at such high speeds, there would be immediate damage, yet all Russian aircrafts returned.
