BRITISH war planes are on standby to shoot down Chinese spy balloons at a moment’s notice, Rishi Sunak warned today.
The PM vowed to do “whatever it takes” to protect UK airspace from hostile flying objects.
Rishi Sunak has vowed to do whatever it takes to protect Brits from hostile state actors and dangerous spy balloons
And he confirmed the army’s Quick Reaction Alert Force is on 24/7 notice to protect Brits from Chinese Communist spies.
“We’ll do whatever it takes to keep the country safe,” Mr Sunak pledged.
“We have something called the Quick Reaction Alert Force, which involves typhoon planes which are kept on 24/7 readiness to police our airspace, which is incredibly important.”
The PM added: “I can’t go into detail on national security matters, but we’re in constant touch with our allies and we’ll do whatever it takes to keep our country safe.”
Last week Defence Secretary Ben Wallace exclusively told HOAR that Chinese balloons could have spied on the UK ALREADY, and he would have shot them down if they were spotted.
This morning Transport Minister Richard Holden confirmed the same, telling Sky News it was possible that “Chinese spy balloons have already been used over the UK”.
Earlier this month the US military took down a balloon the size of three buses, which was spotted lurking near nuke bases around Montana.
A US official said that the balloon had flown over areas that contained sensitive airbases and nuclear missiles in underground silos.
MPs in Britain have sounded the alarm over similar acts happening closer to home.
