>These balloons are significantly cheaper to manufacture and operate than the stealth warplanes that are being used to shoot them down.
Not convinced this is true for the large balloon. The helium alone will have cost 6 figures, which is comparable to the cost of the flight time of the F-22.
Also, it's not like the US has a shortage of F-22s and air to air missiles.
