U-2 vulnerability question
Does anyone have any thoughts on how a U-2 would have fared against the US inventory of air defence measures in the same period it roamed with impunity over the USSR (1956-April 1960)?

eg would a Soviet "U-2" operating from Nicaragua have got away with it?

This question came to me after reading "eyes in the sky" by D. Brugioni.

Thanks.
