'Dragon Lady' spy plane lands at UK base amid Ukraine-Russia war

A spy plane nicknamed 'Dragon Lady' landed at a UK RAF base after completing an unknown mission amid the Ukraine-Russian war.

The U-2 spy plane landed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and is an icon of the Cold War - with a range of specifications to make it one of the most stealthy and secretive craft in the air.

It can fly at an altitude of 70,000 feet, capturing imagery and intercepting signals intelligence, and is said by pilots to be one of the hardest aircraft to fly.

Due to the high altitude it can fly, pilots must wear compression suits, and when landing, rely on a fellow pilot on the ground to guide them as they land on one wheel, reports NorthantsLive.
