Re:US aircraft shoots down new airborne object over Canada by JohnBooty on Saturday February 11, 2023 @11:11PM (#34759630)
It's not a dumb question at all. What you're suggesting is not entirely without precedent:

However, that was a known harmless object on a known trajectory versus an unknown and possibly hostile object.

Additionally, helicopters can't fly nearly high enough for these. 25,000 feet vs 40,000+ feet.
