U-2 spy plane

The U-2 spy plane is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft developed by the United States in the 1950s. Its primary purpose is to gather intelligence by flying at altitudes of around 70,000 feet, which allows it to capture detailed images and collect information without being easily detected. The U-2 played a crucial role during the Cold War, providing vital data on enemy activities. Its unique design features long wings and a slender body, enabling it to fly at such high altitudes. Despite its age, the U-2 remains in use today for various surveillance missions.
