"No shots were fired in the last cold war...."

Tell that to the crews of various US reconnaissance aircraft that were shot down, most with fatalities, during the Cold War. There were many more than just Gary Powers.

31 Americans died on 15 April 1969 when a EC-121M was shot down - just one example. A quick google search reveals more.
