The U2 incident was where A united States spy plane was shot down over Russia. The pilot was Gary Powers and he was captured by the Russians, who used this to embarass the US.
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.

In response to the U-2 incident in 1960, when an American U-2 spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union, Nikita Khrushchev publicly condemned the United States for violating Soviet airspace. He used the incident to highlight U.S. espionage and called for a halt to such activities. The incident strained U.S.-Soviet relations and led to the collapse of a scheduled summit in Paris between the two superpowers. Khrushchev's reaction underscored the tensions of the Cold War and the mistrust between the two nations.
