Quotes
-
First Secretary : Calm yourself, Vladimirov...
General Vladimirov : Calm... calm myself? How can I be calm in your stupidity, STUPIDITY! Losing that aircraft to the Americans... Do you know what this man Gant is? He can land a plane on an ice floe and take off again! You must *ACT*, First Secretary!
-
General Vladimirov : But sir, we'll need to know only one thing from you. What do you wish done when the plane is sighted?
First Secretary : Obliterate it! Completely!
-
General Vladimirov : [on targeting the MiG-31] The infrared guidance system is not the most accurate. It may be necessary for a Soviet aircraft to act as a target. Will you give that order?
First Secretary : [after a moment's thought] Of course.

General Vladimirov : [regarding sending Voskov to the suspected Firefox refueling site] He could be there in two minutes.
First Secretary : No! You may send the helicopters after this... this *highly dubious* sonar contact, but not the MiG! He must proceed to the North Cape at once!
General Vladimirov : Vladimirov to Voskov, Vladimirov to Voskov.
Col. Voskov : Voskov. Over.
General Vladimirov : Proceed to the North Cape area, as soon as refueling is completed.
Col. Voskov : Repeat your message, please.
First Secretary : I said North Cape!
