Dubious

What would a KGB man have to do with ordering PVO troops to shoot down an intruder? That doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. Sounds like some more nonsense from the "rescue Larry McDonald from Soviet concentration camp!" crowd. 69.159.60.66 (talk) 16:47, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know of any source that attributes to Chebrikov any part in the shootdown of KAL 007. Only his part in the recommendation to Andropov that the fact that the Soviet Union had in its possession KAL 007's black box be concealed from the West.Bert Schlosssberg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.170.236.50 (talk) 23:10, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
