An RSP is normally on board a test missile so if something goes wrong and the missile heads off course, they can self destruct the missile. The only other sabotage the Loginov tried was at the end when he tried to set off a "range safety package" (RSP) on one of the missiles.
These were done in a controlled way to cause fear and panic among the non-defecting crew. All the other ones with the reactor plant and caterpillars were done by the Chief Engineer under Captain Ramius' orders. He only did one-the initial sabotage of the caterpillar drive. In the final scene, Ryan flies back to London with Stanley's new baby brother. 'Welcome to the New World, sir,' Ryan then says to Ramius. Ryan assures Ramius that this is the last place satellites will ever try to look for the sub. Lysenko mentions that the Konovalov has also been lost, causing Pelt to tsk.Some time later, Ramius, Ryan, Mancuso ( Scott Glenn), Melekhin ( Ronald Guttman), and the Red October head up the Penobscot River in Maine. The President's national security adviser, Jeffrey Pelt ( Richard Jordan), explains to Soviet ambassador Andrei Lysenko ( Joss Ackland) that recovery of the Red October wreckage is too difficult at this time but that the crew is safe and will be returned to the Soviets. With the help of the Dallas, the Red October takes evasive measures, causing the torpedo to search out another ship, finally settling on the Konovalov, blowing it out of the water.
Meanwhile, the Konovalov has fired a live torpedo at the Red October. Ryan continues going after the saboteur whom he identifies as Loginov ( Tomas Arana), the Red October's cook, just before he shoots him. He is followed by Ryan and Ramius, who takes a bullet in the shoulder. The as-yet unidentified sniper runs into the missile bay, intending to rig a missile in order to blow up the Red October. Suddenly, gunfire erupts, fatally wounding Ramius' first officer Vasily Borodin ( Sam Neill) with a bullet meant for Ramius. After successfully dodging the Russian topedo by speeding at it head on before it can arm itself, Ramius notes that Captain Tupolev ( Stellan Skarsgård) won't make that mistake again and prepares for battle.
