Francis Gary Powers was in a Lockheed U2 spy plane flying over the Soviet Union. These spy planes had been flying untouched by the USSR given their high altitude and speed. Even though missile systems had been developed to go that high, the U-2's were only in range for a short time. Powers mission was the first to attempt to fly from Pakistan right across the Soviet Union. It was a gamble. One that didn't pay off when Powers was brought down by the Soviets. The USA tried to cover up the affair saying it was a scientific weather flight. But the Soviets interrogated and tried Powers for espionage.

Hello Robert, my congratulations to you on your studies and your presentation. I am just a bit surprised that this video calls your great great grandfather a “CIA agent”. I would have thought of him as a ‘pilot’ (and a rather competent one, considering what he was flying). I would expect the word “agent” from a cold-war Russian propaganda article, not in a modern video 😉. Kind regards, Garret

More than 25 years ago I read a book about Powers & U2 which was released in USSR. Soviets stated that Powers decided to jump from damaged plane instead of using catapult as he was afraid that plane could be mined with explosives by CIA. Another mentioned fact was that Su 9 (ceiling of 20km!) was used as it was the only soviet fighter capable to have visual contact with U2. Book did not mention destroyed Mig 19, unarmed Su 9 or a dozen lunched missiles. Thanks Yarnhub, that was great video!

The one thing that was wrong is that the u2 was never a fast plane. It was just much higher than the ceiling of everything else. It actually flies only a few knots below it’s stall speed when it is at 70,000 feet.

It’s above the stall speed, but also just short of its critical mach. Either case - it loses lift and sees more drag. Something called coffin corner. It’s fairly fast for that altitude but it has to be. The only way to go faster is to sweep the wings and/or use supercritical airfoils, and probably stronger engines. A fighter can most certainly go faster.

This happened today in Croatia "In what can only be deemed a totally bizarre event, Croatia's capital of Zagreb was awakened to a loud blast just hours ago only to find a large crater filled with what appeared to be aircraft parts. Some said it was a plane that crashed and that parachutes were seen nearby, others said it was a missile. After close examination of the visual evidence, The War Zone strongly believes this was actually a Tu-141 "Strizh" reconnaissance drone that must have severely malfunctioned and crossed over the entirety of Hungary or parts of neighboring countries and into Croatia from Ukraine. Flying direct from Ukraine's border to Zagreb is nearly a 350-mile journey."

Fact: the U2 incident was the main benefactor for the development of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird recon plane that would replace the U2 until the SR-71 was replaced by satellites and the program was terminated in 1989 but was reactivated in 1994 until 1999. Fun fact: I was born on Oct-7-99 and the last flight of the SR-71 took place 2 days after I was born. Yes I admit that I used the wiki to find the correct designation for the Blackbird and I ended up finding something interesting in my own way.

@@VandalAudi Actually Lockheed and the military have scheduled to retire the U2 recon plane from service in 2025 or 2050 and replace it with the RQ-4 Global Hawk drone (to clarify the US government can't make up their minds to when to retire the U-2 from service, which is why I said 2025 or 2050 but it will be retired nonetheless and it'll retire with a very impressive service record). Although the U2 have been upgraded over the years from the U-2R to the U-2S it's increasingly getting expensive to operate in military operations since it'll cost over 2 billion to retire, but NASA has been using the U-2S as a testing platform and we can't forget about the fact of the aircraft has converted into new models without making new U-2 planes which is far more cheaper and increases the service life of the aircraft.

@@projectlessweforget okay, but that's not an "actually" statement, since as of this posting the U2 is still in service for atleast 3 more years. Maybe more for NASA, which coincidentally was orginazation used for the "weather recon" excuse the US used.for Gary Powers.

My grandfather who lives in Peshawar (from where this U-2 took off for the mission) told me about this. He said Pakistan got into a lot of trouble after this incident. Pretty sad how Americans ignore/forget Pakistan's support to the USA in the cold war.
