The quoted phrase was told by General Makhmut Gareev, head of the department of strategic analysis in the Soviet´s Ministry of Defense, to the Soviet general staff and the Politboro in 1983, fearing not being able to match the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), regarded as Star Wars in reference to the film of the same name.
