whether toss this out tgere as if it is in any way significant or will make a difference. First, the blow up tank appears to be a T-34 from the 40's. If their balloon weapobs are 70 years behind, we probably don't have a lot to worry about from their real weapons, and US pilots aren't wasting munitions on museum relics. Second, we have enough bombs to hit all if these and the real weapons too so this will do little good. 3) if it somehow was effective, that woukd just force us to send in tier one and delta teams to be more effective and the destruction just gets more effective
