Sergei Ivanovich Safronov ((ロシア語:Серге́й Ива́нович Сафро́нов), died 1960) was a senior lieutenant in the Soviet Air Force.〔Reed, p. (57 ).〕 In the 1960 U-2 incident he was vectored to intercept Gary Powers' U-2 with his MiG-19 fighter. His aircraft took a direct hit from one of the SA-2 Guideline missiles fired at the U-2 and was destroyed.〔Taubman, (page not stated (PT404 of Google Books) ). Text sequence: Senior Lieutenant Sergei Safronov wasn't so lucky. His MIG-19 was shot down by a rocket meant for powers. () But when large pieces of the U-2 made it look on Soviet radar screens as if his flight were continuing, the additional missiles that were fired claimed Safronov instead.〕 He was able to eject, but died from his injuries.〔 The decree published by newspapers in the Soviet Union presented S. N. Safronov the Order of the Red Banner along with Voronov and Sheludko. The decree did not mention that Sergei Safronov died and several subsequent publications did not state that he died.〔Khrushchev, p. (363 ).〕 ==References== * Khrushchev, Sergei N.
