Thumping Spyplanes
Never heard of it (thumping) . There were numerous incidents where USAF/USN, etc. spy aircraft were shot down during the cold war. Our squadron had a RB-57F "disappear" in the Black Sea on Dec 11, 1965.
The list is long but interesting to read.

1980 A Soviet Tu-95 Bear, flying from the USSR to Cuba entered US airspace and passed very close to Langley AFB in Virginia (it could be seen from the control tower). The aircraft was intercepted by F-15s from the US Air Force 1st TFW and escorted out of US airspace.

???? They should have splashed it! That's within ALCM range of DC! The bear can carry AS-15's right?
