Crazy Ivan is a cold war term used in the US to describe two different concepts. The most common usage was the name given to a maneuver used by Soviet submarines to clear their baffles to see if they were being followed. The second use was a catch-all term for the possibility of a rogue Soviet leader committing to military action, typically in reference to a limited launch of ICBMs against the US. The term Red October was sometimes used to describe the second concept, a reference to the 1984 Tom Clancy novel ''The Hunt for Red October'' in which a rogue Soviet submarine commander appears to threaten to launch a nuclear strike on the US. Ironically, the novel uses the first version of the term as a plot point. ==References== de:Irrer Iwan pl:Szalony Iwan ru:Сумасшедший Иван (тактика) zh:瘋狂伊凡 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crazy Ivan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
