  • One thing they didn't tell you is that China shot down five of them in the 60s.

  • Which aircraft were these (s/n and/or tail number) and for whom were they flown (USAF, CIA, other), Maersk1668?

  • "These", narrator89? How many are you claiming were downed? Sounds like the typical case of Russian exaggeration (or Norwegian in this case). With the Russians whoring out their military hardware to anyone with the cash, why would this plane still be the most effective reconnaissance platform out there? Seems like the Russian SAMs would be an easy response to the U2, but in actual practice, nothing could be further from the truth.
