It's about the United States military deploying balloons to spy on China and Russia.
In July, of last year:
The Pentagon is working on a new plan to rise above competition from China and Russia: balloons.
The high-altitude inflatables, flying at between 60,000 and 90,000 feet, would be added to the Pentagon’s extensive surveillance network and could eventually be used to track hypersonic weapons.………
Over the past two years, the Pentagon has spent about $3.8 million on balloon projects, and plans to spend $27.1 million in fiscal year 2023 to continue work on multiple efforts, according to budget documents.
Now there's some interesting context.

In which case, the Chinese should feel free to shoot them down.
The article does not say the Army is deploying the balloons, but is researching/developing -- with chicken feed funding.
