nope Answer: Yes. US and USSR and even China were always pushing the limits of their enemy.

Gary Powers was shot down in a U-2 and he was used in exchange for a Soviet spy. There were conflicts with N. Korea (even after the Korean War) that occurred when the Koreans fired on a US "spy ship" the USS Pueblo".
