The president of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obradorrevealed that his Government denied a permit to the Pentagon American to fly over mexican airspace for chinese balloon What would happen to the country?
“I am going to tell you something: the day before yesterday, so that you can see the importance of acting with respect for other governments but asserting our independence, they spoke of the Pentagon to request permission because they wanted to fly over our airspace with high-tech planes and drones, military, because they had detected a balloon that came from Hawaii and was going to pass through Mexico,” he said at the morning conference at the National Palace.
They claimed it was an Asian globe, I don’t want to get involved in these matters, the answer was no. We do not allow those aircraft and drones to enter our airspace, ”he pointed out.
The Tabasqueño pointed out that the Secretary of National Defense (sedena) asked the Pentagon to agree to monitor the Chinese balloon.
Let’s come to an agreement, send information and we have equipment to carry out the follow-up, and indeed an operation was carried out with planes and drones. It was reported that it was a balloon that was at an altitude of 35 thousand feet, at 30, well, 5,000 feet above what commercial aviation traffic is, I was going to enter the day before yesterday at 3 in the morning through Manzanillo and leave through Tamaulipas
“We are going to agree, send information and we have teams to carry out the follow-up and -in effect- an operation was carried out with planes and drones. It was reported that it was a balloon that was at an altitude of 35,000 feet, 30,000 -well- 5,000 feet above what commercial aviation traffic is, it was going to enter the day before yesterday at 3 in the morning through Manzanillo and go out through Tamaulipas,” he said.
It happened, but we didn’t detect anything and they didn’t inform us that they saw it. A query was made to see if they had more items and no. But what I (say) is cooperation yes, subordination or submission no, ”she pointed out.
The Mexican ruler warned that the relationship with the United States is one of “cooperation yes, subordination or submission no.”
The US Armed Forces this week detected a new balloon, of unknown provenance, flying near the coast of Hawaii, although they said Monday that there are no indications that it is operated or controlled by “foreign or rival actors.”
A Pentagon spokesman told EFE that the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) “detected and observed” last Friday an “unmanned” balloon near Hawaii, at an altitude of 10,972.8 meters. .
“Although it flew at an altitude used by civil aviation, it did not pose any danger to civil aviation in Hawaii,” the source said.
The spokesman assured that the device did not pass “directly” through any “critical” defense infrastructure or any “delicate” government site.
In late January, a Chinese “spy” balloon hovered over the continental US until it was shot down by the US Air Force over Atlantic waters on February 4.
The device flew over several areas of the country for days, such as the state of Montana (northwest), where one of the three existing US nuclear missile silo fields is located.
This event raised tension between the US and China. Beijing admitted that the balloon belonged to it, but argued in its defense that it had been lost and that it was used for meteorological purposes, not espionage.
According to leaked Pentagon documents, which were published by The Washington Post, the US government detected at least three other Chinese “spy” balloons apart from the one it detected at the end of January. One of them flew over a group of aircraft carriers and the other crashed in the South China Sea.
