February 24, suddenly Chinese official media CCTV for the first time published shock screens of shooting down U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft in June 1958, to warn B-2 of the United Stites. 

In these short-range high-definition screens, the moment of Sam missile into the sky shot down U-2 high-definition instant pictures are very stunning!

Gary Powers had/has family, you know.

Is this the Powers or the Baltic incident or something not reported before?

I believe Gary Powers was the only downed U2 pilot who lived to talk about it.

You’ve got to be sh****ng me! And just what high-flying fighter plane did the Chicoms have at the time to take these close-up pictures in 1958?

That said, I recall coming across a comprehensive book on the U-2 story and the most deadly moments in the plane’s operational history were when Nationalist Chinese pilots were flying it over Mao’s China.

Pretty cool how they managed to get a plane up to the U-2’s altitude in order to take photos of a surface-to-air missile shooting one down. Why didn’t the plane just shoot the U-2 down? THERE WILL BE NO MORE QUESTIONS!

Fake...

2nd Pic. U-2C From Above...Taken by another U-2
3rd Pic. U-2R from the rear. Post 1967..
4th-6th Pic...U-2R again. Too long for a SAM burn. Probable Photoshop.
7th Pic U-2R with Slipper tanks. Post 1981
8th Pic. Not a U-2
9-11 Pics. U-2S post 1981...Photoshop

My analysis...Fail

RIDICULOUS..! The PRC shoot-downs were SAMs, not AAM’s. The real topper is the one where they photo from ABOVE a U-2.

We are to believe they either had A/C which at that time flew HIGHER than the U-2, or this pilot just up and decided to cruise around willy-nilly at a dangerously low altitude over a denied area —suicide.

This puts the PRC on the credibility level of the “steel spider tank”-designing IRANIANS.

U-2 shootdowns DID occur, but not in this manner. RIDICULOUS.

If this propaganda is in retaliation for Google, more power to you because I despise Google. Could you at least photoshop a UFO in picture 4 -6?

This sequence of short-range, high-definition photographs were shot from the newly certificated Cessna 162 SkyCatcher, manufactured in China.

With a ceiling of 65,000 feet the Cessna 162 will crush the US. LOL!
