I agree. The book was really good though, and Craig Thomas, the author, actually wrote a sequel, Firefox Down, which was good too. It begins EXACTLY at the moment the first one ended. Gant had just killed the second Firefox, when he notices that his fuel is almost gone. Turns out his tanks were punctured by cannon fire, and he makes an emergency landing on a frozen lake in Finland. Good guys are trying to rescue the now-captured Gant and salvage the plane (which sank) before the Finns turn it over to the Russians. Not a bad read, IIRC.
