The correct answer is E. The US was exposed for spying on the USSR and lying about it at the highest levels of our government.

Explanation

The U-2 aircraft is an aircraft used for surveillance activities used by the United States Air Force (USAF). It is characterized by carrying out its surveillance activities at altitudes above 21,000 m. During the Cold War, there was an episode in which a US U-2 spy plane that was used for intelligence activities on issues related to nuclear bombs, was shot down in the Soviet Union (USSR) by the military who captured the pilot of that plane. This episode was characterized by the cover-up of the facts by the intelligence of the United States at the highest levels of the government, and the international community without knowing that the Soviets had under their power the plane´s pilot who had reported on the main objective of the mission. According to the above, the correct answer is E. They exposed the US for spying on the USSR and lying about it at the highest levels of our government.

Colonel Nikolai Skuridin has just back to service after vacation. On the morning of 4th July, he already had a flight at training aircraft, the next step was to make a flight in fully armed MiG-23M jet fighter. Skuridin was not rookie pilot - he had 1700 flight hours and he was 1st class pilot according to the Soviet Air Force class system.

He took off. As soon as he did, he noticed afterburner had spontaneously turned off, as well as that throttles catastrophically dropped. He told the dispatcher he is about to eject, dispatch confirmed, so colonel left the jet.

Both jet pilot and spectators expected jet to crash near the airfield, but it never did. Instead, engine went back to normal, so did the jet itself due to autopilot system. Jet started to climb, flying westward. As MiG-23’s IFF kept tone back, jet passed both Poland and Eastern Germany unnoticed.

Compare and Contrast the attack on Pearl Harbor December 7,1941 and the
Eduardwww [97]

On December 7, 1941, the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked by the Japanese navy, bringing about the US entry into the Second World War. Often referred to as “waking a sleeping giant,” the attack on Pearl Harbor began a course of events that ultimately led to the defeat of the Axis Powers. The attack on Pearl Harbor killed 2,403 Americans and wounded 1,178 others. Nearly sixty years later, 2,977 people died in the attacks of September 11, 2001, when Bombers  linked to al-Qaeda hijacked four planes, flying two into the World Trade Center in New York and one into the Pentagon (a fourth crashed in Pennsylvania). These attacks led to a worldwide war against terrorism led by the United States. Both attacks caused widespread public response and xenophobia. This source set includes artifacts from both events in order to compare them.
