Media coverage in United States 4. Reaction of the Soviet Union 5. After KAL incident 6. Conclusion 본문 4. Reaction of the Soviet Union The Soviets were tight-lipped about the affair for two days. Their only response was through the Tass news agency, in which it was stated that the plane was on a spying mission and was shot down after crossing over their territory. Then from the Kremlin came the order: the Soviets officially declared that KAL 007 was on a spy mission, and as a spy plane it was deliberately shot down. All of the talk of innocent passengers lost was dismissed as "hulla-balloo", and they said that they were prepared to do it again. Thinking that they may have made a bad public-relations impression, on September 9 Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov, the Soviet Chief of Staff, went on television to give the Kremlins view of what happened, repeating the spy plane story, but insisting the plane had been warned to land first.

In any event, regardless of whether it was an RC-135 or a 747, he argued, the plane was unquestionably on a US or joint US-Japanese intelligence mission, and the local air defense commander had made the correct decision. The real blame for the tragedy, he insisted, lay with the United States, not the USSR. 5. After KAL incident Even Reagan, t 본문내용 airline tragedy One of the most enlightening examples of US disinformation was the manner in which the Reagan administration’s public diplomacy apparatus covered the 1983 Korean Airline tragedy. The superjet Korean commercial liner (KAL007) carrying 269 passengers was shot down by a Soviet interceptor plane after intruding deeply into Soviet airspace over the strategic Sahkalin Islands on the las
