But he will fall behind at that speed

Well, okay, but did he use them up?

Well, there was some left there, now about 4700, and we have 4200, about 500 kilograms have not been used

Drop the tanks

Yes, sir, jettison the tanks

... don't understand, do you think he can identify the target at 10 km?

It is at an altitude of 11 thousand according to reports..

So what?

Gerasimenko!

Yes

Well, what, don't you understand? I said bring [him] up to a range of 4 kilometers, 4-5 kilometers, identify the target. You understand that weapons are going to have to be used now and you are holding [him] at a range of 10. Give [the pilot} his orders.
