2 Dimson: Still, it was not a provocation, but a reconnaissance flight)) 2 Batura: Do you have what assessment? Models in Sime or sobsno aircraft?)) In fact, leaving aside the political aspects, I should say, the machine landmark. Soar for hours at an altitude of more than 20 km, while the interceptors could only podprygnut at a height at the moment is all the same achievement.

Quite the contrary, in our holidays, as is known, increased vigilance and full attention. Regarding the May 1, provocation / no provocation - the flight was not the first or even tenth. The Americans flew over the Soviet Union since the late 50h, including Gary Powers. I think the date is - pure coincidence. That we were taken in conjunction with flights in space, or take the city to any important date. U-2 was created and operated, starting with the 50h, and to this day. Then (1960), this car really was unique, since a long time to fly in the stratosphere.

Dimson, if you are about this craft did not know (your word), then why engage in heated debate? We are now very fashionable society * host all universal Americans, and all of their design (I am in no raze do not support their policies in Iraq, Yugoslavia, etc., but to rebut their objective of achieving only a personal dislike, I would not). About intelligence flight May 1: I think it was done quite deliberately, they are certainly expected that the May 1, the attention to this kind of operation will be weakened.

I would agree with you Dimitri, if this "intelligence" was not a flight on May 1. And if so - the flight - pure provocation. Hardly States could be assured of their successful completion of his, and his intelligence was in fact only in that they "explored" the possibility of our air defense. About the car can not say anything, do not know anything, just opposed it as an assessment of - (nice). And the landmark, as you say, on poimu too Hardly ... The Age of U-2 that there? Personally, I do not even nasluhu years which are operated pindosiya it ... It is my opinion, it may not coincide with many. I do not want to argue. If for some second half of the twentieth century - this is the era of U-2, then please.

to Batura. This is what has? Meanwhile, that one and shot down over Cuba? Or the fact that because of these peacekeepers before the 3rd world was one step. The history should be taught not to American textbooks mileyshy.

"Peace and Democracy ..."?!" If the world for you - it is Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan ... and democracy - all manifestations of political life in some way satisfy the U.S. interests, then it is certainly true. I would like to remind you that this pindosovsky plane was shot down over the USSR during provakatsionnogo flight across the territory of a sovereign state. This naglasti USSR had never been. Or do you know cases where we would commit such provocations against pindosii? Think that priminitelno to this category of aircraft - a glorious, can be used only in quotes! "Famous U-2."

The largest of the MiG-31 - almost 40 km. But the dynamic. X-15 on the same principle taken at 105, but has no functionality other than scientific value. But the U-2 was also decent, and because pindosy thought that it did not reach our zenitki. And we shibanuli rocket fins and just sprinkle ...

I did not ohaivayu plane, as saying that "nothing about the plane will not say" - neznau. I did not like that someone praises this car, well I was in this sense, OK? For example: During the Great Patriotic War fashiskaya germany used unique weapons (aircraft including ...). If someone nibudb say that such a tank "Tiger", sekaya this remarkable machine, with its excellent long range guns and does not penetrate armor, for example. And in general, that this miracle of technology, then this one. But if someone would praise this tank, and say that in such a battle on the side of Germany has been involved at so many famous "Tigers", I am going to object again. So, and U-2, for me. I see no reason why the Russians to honor him for his famous flight !?...
