Скачать или смотреть Soviet Pilots Laughed At The U-2 Spy Plane, Until Gary Powers Was Shot Down Over Russia

May 1st, 1960. Francis Gary Powers was flying at 70,000 feet over the Soviet Union in America's most secret weapon - the U-2 spy plane. Soviet pilots had tried for years to intercept it and failed every time. They called it unreachable, laughed at its strange design, and watched helplessly as it photographed their most sensitive military installations.

Then, at 1:53 PM local time, everything changed. A Soviet SA-2 missile did what everyone thought was impossible - it reached Powers at the edge of space. Within minutes, the most successful spy plane program in history became an international crisis that nearly started World War III.

This is the untold story of the U-2 incident, Gary Powers' capture, and how one shootdown changed the Cold War forever.
