US troops are shooting at balloons to figure out how to beat one of the Ukraine war's most 'dangerous' and unpredictable weapons

Ukraine is betting on the powerful F-16 fighter jet to give them a leg-up in the war against Russia.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon can hit speeds of up to 1,500 miles per hour — twice the speed of sound.
The multi-role fighter also touts an impressive array of munitions, including bombs and missiles.
Late last year, Ukrainian pilots shifted from flight simulators to training on actual F-16 fighter jets, a combat aircraft that the country hopes will secure an edge in the war with Russia.
