Edit | U-2 spyplane | | With which anti-aircraft missile system did Soviet shot down U.S U-2 spyplane in 1960s? At that time, U.S believed that no Soviet SAM could shoot down its spyplane because of its high-flying technology . Soviet Union shocked the entire world by shooting it down and capturing its pilot. If U.S launch its spy mission like that using its most advanced technology today, can Russian anti-aircraft missile system shoot down anymore? |

Judging from the rumor it took a few SAM missiles to down the plane it probably was K-25.But, as I said - I do not have exact data. |

Posted: October 22, 2004 (5:35 PM) | | The U-2 was shot down by an SA-2. The designers thought that the U-2 would only have been able to fly for 2 yrs before being shot down, but it went 4 instead. Kinda surprised every one, but it still sucked that we lost it. Oh well. Then again the A-12 didnt do half bad, but by that time satelites were taking over so manned flights became less and less frequent. The funniest part about the story is how mad Krushchev would get every time one would fly over Russia and there was nothing that Russia could do(until they did shoot one down). Oh well, who cares, life goes on and shit. Cant dwell on the past now can we? HAHAH. P.S. I really am an asshole today, so I do apologize. |
