#1 This reminds me of a tale from the old Soviet Union, in which Brezhnev was invited to watch a Soviet fleet exercise on the attack and invasion of a naval port.

The exercise went off without a hitch, and the Admiral in charge approached Brezhnev, proudly informing him that all enemy ships and the port had (theoretically) been destroyed and captured, without the loss of a single ship.

"Impressive," replied Brezhnev. "How did you destroy the enemy shore batteries?"

"The enemy has shore batteries!?!," replied the suddenly horrified Admiral.

#3 They'll be sailing their targets under their own steam for the west to test their missile effectiveness again.

Bring up g12.

#4 Oh, really? Towed-targets arrays out in your little putrid-smelling, bent Strait?

That's some fairly high-tech stuff, right there. Let's pull PIAPS in so we can hammer out a speedy surrender...Pleeze, Mr. Size 34 Dinnerjackov?
