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！

I’ll back you up. Ac in photo#9 didn’t exist in ‘58.
Back around ‘63 there were several photos of downed U-2s on display in China. Was in Model Airplane News or a similar magazine.

I’m pretty sure these photos came from the same shop as Obama’s birth certificate.
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.
How to you say Bullsh!t in Chinese?
BS
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?
It’s on the Internet; so it has to be true.
`Go pi’ (I think)
used an engish to chinese translator and got this.
At least he could have Slim Pickens riding on the wing.
Yeah I type slow. Good job though. Think #2 is a paper cutout laid over a map.
The Chinese NOW have some good technology, but the gap is still there, and in 1958 the vast majority of Chinese were rural farmers with marginal literacy —plagues were common, and privately owned cars almost unheard of.
At the time the PLA still had a VERY large proportion of equipment pulled around by horses —most PLA aircraft were prop-driven and jet aircraft of any variety were something of a rarity.
Yet here we are to believe the PLA had planes that could climp to and engage U-2’s at their operational ceilings, or even best them, smiling loftily away from above.
This photo series only shows the high level of confidence their government has that their public is in the dark about technical matters, or their belief in the strength of blind nationalist zeal —most likely a combination of those two.
As their capabilities grow (e.g. construction of an aircraft carrier), my guess is we’ll see LOTS more creative historical revisionism.
I heard a Chinese waitress say it, asked her what it meant.
She wasn’t happy with the tip from another table.
Must have been Real-Time photos from Sputnik 2. /s
Narrator (Harve Bennett): "Steve Austin. Astronaut. A man barely alive."
Oscar Goldman: "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better ... stronger ... faster."
