The US military said on Monday it had recovered critical electronics from the suspected Chinese spy balloon downed by a US fighter jet off South Carolina's coast on Feb. 4, including key sensors presumably used for intelligence gathering. "Crews have been able to recover significant debris from the site, including all the priority sensor and electronics pieces identified as well as large sections of the structure," the US military's Northern Command said in a statement.
