I was joking in the other thread, that soon people will be buying weather baloons and setting them off "for the lulz" (youtube videos, tiktok, or whatever) :)

In the article it said both forces scrambled to down it, but it seems like the americans just got luckier.

According to the article, they were also dispatched.
I guess the US air forces received order to shoot earlier?

Second paragraph:

The article answers the question pretty early on: both air forces scrambled fighters.
NORAD is NORAD. They collaborate very closely and it becomes kind of moot who specifically does what.

Their F-18s can't fly as high (without doing zoom climbs) as the F-22 (which has very large control surfaces which help with this).
