The Chinese spy balloon spying on the US was shot down by a F-22 Raptor over North America after the high-altitude surveillance balloon was traversing the country for a week.

The interception marks the first known and documented air-to-air kill of the F-22 Raptor and this even over U.S. soil.

The balloon got downed over South Carolina with numerous witnesses documenting the event.
