General Vladimirov
- 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!
