Line 8: * ''MiG-31 "[[Firefox]]"'': If the eponymous plane really existed and had reached operational service, it would almost certainly be used for small nukes. ** The real MiG-31, NATO reporting name "Foxhound", was actually an interceptor developed as a replacement for the MiG-25 "Foxbat". The MiG-31's armament consists of four R-33/AA-9 "Amos" air-to-air missiles, six other missiles and a 23mm cannon, no nukes. * ''[[~~Goldeneye~~GoldenEye (film)\|GoldenEye]]'': Not clear whether this is the actual name, a [[Code Name]] or a translation from Russian (the back translation- ''Zolotoy Glaz'' is the movie's Russian title). Two [[Kill Sat]] nukes designed to cause mass EMP damage. One takes out its own control centre (and a couple of Russian fighters) as part of the theft of it by Xenia Onatopp. The second is de-orbited in the climax before it can be used on London. This device would be illegal under the Outer Space Treaty. * The Soviets stick one of their nukes on a space launcher to destroy the Cyber Fleet in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story "The Invasion". * "Oceanic research vessel ''Maxim Gorky''" (Yeah, right!): The ''[[Airwolf]]'' episode "Condemned" features a Soviet submarine turning up off the coast of one of the Aleutian Islands where a nasty (Soviet-made and released without authorisation in Afghanistan) virus has broken loose. Has the distinctive hull of the "Alfa", "Victor" and "Akula" class, but doesn't make any of them exactly due to a bulge at the front. It seems to be a modified "Victor III". During the process of an [[Enemy Mine]] scenario, the Commander goes crazy (the antidote makes people super-paranoid for a while) and orders "Strike Plan Beta", resulting in the launch of... * "Seasnake" (Reporting Name only given): subsonic, nuclear equipped cruise missiles, launched with the intention of destroying most of the island. Stringfellow and Caitlin are successfully able to shoot all three down before they reach their targets. Line 24: Fictional sub, possibly a "Yankee", that is mentioned in the ''[[NCIS]]'' episode "Chimera" {{spoiler\|with a nuke from the sub being retrieved by ''USNS Chimera''.}} {{tropesubpagefooter}} ~~{{reflist}}~~ [[Category:Useful Notes/From Russia With Nukes]] ~~[[Category:{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]~~ ~~[[Category:{{SUBPAGENAME}}]]~~
