[FPSPACE] A bilingual question

[Dmitry Payson]

But what do they say during the countdown and procedures alike if consider
the communication lines not completely safe? What is (or was?) an oral
euphemism?

Hmmm. At least in the US (I don't know about other anglophone countries),
I'm not sure there is a real equivalent for "izdeliye" as a standard
euphemism for a classified piece of hardware.  Semi-colloquial nicknames
like "Gadget" or "Beast" are sometimes used, or an actual code name like
"CORONA."
