A memorable passage from The Hunt for Red October starts off by saying "The Americans are good technitions , Comrade captain", Putin said but they are not giants. Their technology is not so awesome.Its funny how he thinks to himself and how he comes to the conclusion that his Nasha Lutcha is better than the Americans.
