Is that the Russian version of what I posted by any chance? Do you also speak Serbo-Croat?

Jason: Is that the Russian version of what I posted by any chance?

Yup, a literal translation. The original (which I know from movies) is СТОЙ! СТРЕЛЯТЬ БУДУ! (STOP! I WILL FIRE!)

Do you also speak Serbo-Croat?

A little bit. No, I just googled out Air Force Doctrine Document 2-3 and before I read an English translation I meditated on STANI EEL LEE PUTSAMI! " EEL LEE" sounds almost exactly as Russian ИЛИ (or), and STANI was close enough to a certain rare form of СТОЙ (stop). PUTSAMI isn't close to anything, and I figured it from context. Then I found an English translation.

But I have a question now. Since this is Air Force manual, how come you say STOP OR I WILL FIRE! And not STOP OR I WILL DROP A BOMB!

They say that too, but nobody hears it in time.

Russian. In case you plan to try to conquer Russia, my adviсe: don't. In last several centuries no Army has conquered more than 1/3 of the territory, not because of any particular military genius of Russian people, but because the tour was so utterly unpleasant: cold weather, dirty roads, grumpy local girls, that the invaders said, "Damn. Let's go back."
