Excerpt from Malinovsky Speech of May 9
We reply to you firmly, gentlemen American imperialists:
no you will not fly over our land! We are not your Guatemala,
Turkey, Pakistan or South Korea. We shot down and will shoot
down any violator who dares to violate our airspace and will
adopt all measures necessary for protecting the integrity of our
state frontiers! We also warn the countries countenancing
these evil doings, lending their territory and airfields for the
flights of similar pirate planes over our country's borders --
think before it is too late. Technology is now SO perfected that
it can show us without fail the airfields from which such
violators are flying. We have the right to take any measures
in such a case against those bases and airfields and can raze
these bases, so that nothing remains of them.
