[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] A few days ago, Chinese spy balloons invaded the airspace of the United States, which aroused international attention and escalated the tension between the United States and China.
In this regard, Lu Lishi, former captain of the Xinjiang Navy of the Navy and instructor of the Military Discipline Department of the Naval Academy, posted on Facebook today (9th) that the real name of this balloon should actually be called "aerostat". Just in development.
Lu Lishi posted on Facebook that if we keep calling it "balloon" (balloon), China will know that everyone has not entered the situation. This "balloon" is actually called "aerostat" (aerostat) in China, and As early as 2011, China held a seminar on aerostats.

"Under what circumstances can a seminar be held to convene various institutions and research units to "practice Xiaohua"?" Lu Lishi said, at least half a year before the conference, or even longer, everyone already had some research experience to write a paper Yes, estimated from the time, the Communist Army has already entered the "development" from "research" before 2011.
Lu Lishi posted a screenshot of the Proceedings of the 2011 China Aerostat Conference. In the picture, one can see a paper from the "Radar and Electronic Countermeasures Research Institute of the Air Force Equipment Research Institute". It is mainly used for early warning and monitoring of nearby space targets and aerospace shuttle vehicles." Lu pointed out that the aerostat that passed through most of the US airspace this time should be the "stratospheric airship" called in the paper. As for whether it is for early warning and monitoring, It should be just one of the projects; he also mentioned that the Chinese side is very vigilant. When he started researching relevant literature, China locked almost all the papers, but he will continue to dig.
