........
The 1960 U-2 incident occurred during the Cold War on May 1, 1960, during the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower and during the leadership of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, when an American U-2 spy plane was shot down over Soviet Union airspace. The United States government at first denied the plane's purpose and mission, but then was forced to admit its role as a covert surveillance aircraft when the Soviet government produced its remains (largely intact) and surviving pilot, Francis Gary Powers. Coming just over two weeks before the scheduled opening of an East-West summit in Paris, the incident was a great embarrassment to the United States[1] and prompted a marked deterioration in its relations with the Soviet Union.

The U2 incident in May 1960, when an American spy plane was shot down over Soviet airspace, significantly heightened tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The incident exposed U.S. espionage activities and led to a breakdown in a planned summit between President Eisenhower and Premier Khrushchev, worsening diplomatic relations. It also fueled anti-American sentiment in the USSR and reinforced the perception of the U.S. as a threat, contributing to an arms race and further ideological conflict.
The United States used the Lockheed U2 and Convair PB4Y Privateer to gather intelligence about the Soviet Union and China before the advent of spy satellite technology.
