Sorry for the late update. A question symbolic of how my week has been. Identify.Answer: This is the wreckage of Gary Powers's U-2 spy plane - the one that the Soviet shot down and the US denied ever existed. Matti, Jamie, Krithi, Siddarth Pai, Kaushik and Divya Shankar got it. Well done.

Wreckage of Gary Powers U-2 displayed in Moscow. The one that was supposedly never shot down.
Remains of American U2 spy plane shot down by the then USSR on 1st May 1960. At first, the United States government denied the plane's purpose and mission, but was forced to admit its role as a covert surveillance aircraft when the Soviet government produced its remains (largely intact) and surviving pilot, Francis Gary Powers.
