As written in the post "the other China" used it. Some cats involved

The ROC ended in 1949, but it was still designated as such (Republic of China, vs the other People's republic of China)
Taiwan would be a better designation.

in a communist museum?

Catfish · 02-18-23, 03:50 PM

They call themselves "communist", yes.
Of course imho it is just a petty dictatorship.
So, "yes".

Aktungbby · 02-18-23, 05:29 PM

N. Korea?

Eichhörnchen · 02-18-23, 05:31 PM

A photo-recon plane?

YES!
edit: initially photo recon, but not only photo today.
Please, this cannot be that difficult?

yes where the museum is.

Catfish · 02-18-23, 05:58 PM

The museum is not in North Korea.

Hint: It is located in a city of an ally of North Korea, one might even say the only one.
It is an antagonist to Taiwan.
Much bigger than North Korea.
Some call their leader Winnie the Pooh.
Do i have to be more exact?

Aktungbby · 02-18-23, 06:26 PM

An ROC U-2?

Eichhörnchen · 02-19-23, 05:55 AM

I was loath to suggest a U-2 since I couldn't believe the US would ever hand these over to other nations, whether friend or foe. Bugger!

Well this one and a lot of others shot down were not voluntarily "handed over" so to speak

I heard about U2s being started from Taiwan but never thought they were even flown by taiwanese pilots, in that "Black Cat" squadron. I read they had 19 of those planes.

YES, this is it, built by the CIA Skunk works for high-altitude recconnaissance missions. This one being shot down over China and now residing in the military museum in Beijing.
I wonder if the chinese balloon gets the same attention

"After Gary Powers being shot down over the Soviet Union in his U2, there were five others shot down in the 1960s, not over the Soviet Union, but in Chinese airspace, with the loss of three pilots. The planes were operated by the Black Cat Squadron, a Taiwan-based unit, and were supplied by the CIA.

The Taiwanese pilots received training in the US, and their main task was to gather intelligence about China’s nuclear programme. The reconnaissance programme was shrouded in secrecy.

For years, the wreckage of one of the U-2s lay in the forecourt of this museum in Beijing. It was an arresting sight as it slowly mouldered away, with little effort being made to conserve it."

This is the first version prototype in 1955, tested in the US

The current iteration of the "Dragon lady" shows its wingspan necessary to provide lift at that altitude

The "pogo wheels" are automatically ettisoned after the start, they are
necessary to also balance the plane after landing, then attached by hand by two men running beside the slowing plane before its stops.

They say the U2 is not easy to fly and especially land, since the ground effect prolongs the flare-out in a way it seems to take forever.

Over to Aktungbby, well done

Jimbuna · 02-19-23, 07:19 AM

Nowhere near getting that one.

Aktungbby · 02-19-23, 11:32 AM

After glazing endlessly over all 'Merican built 1950's single engine jet trainers, I kept looking at the puzzle pic and finally realised it was a destroyed and incinerated something, based on German aeronautics; built in the '50's and now in a commie museum which immediately got me to China, (although N. Korea still has the USS Pueblo so I looked there first) which shot down 3 of these. As for the Chinese balloons 'getting attention', U2's were recently used used to track, photo and monitor the intruder PRC balloon on it's transit of the continent. And voila! I'll have something shortly.

Aktungbby · 02-19-23, 02:45 PM

Shortly:

what is this?

mapuc · 02-19-23, 02:50 PM

From Ukraine a Russian(Z) MLRS system.
