In the confusion, he disguises himself as a doctor and "abducts" Koskov via helicopter before securing his escape with the help of explosive grenades that look like milk bottles, killing several Secret Service agents who attempt to apprehend him.

In Tangier
Necros helps kidnap 007 and takes him to a Soviet cargo plane, which delivers them and General Koskov to Colonel Fayador's airbase in Afghanistan. Later, Necros buys Mujahadin opium on behalf of Fayador with smuggled diamonds and takes it back to the airbase. Bond, who is disguised as a Mujahadin fighter, is discovered and begins the rebels' attack on the base. Necros, Feyador, and Koskov take cover under a truck. After Koskov spots Kara Milovy in a speeding army jeep headed for the cargo plane that Bond is piloting to escape, Necros and Koskov commandeer another vehicle with a machine gun turret mounted on it. Necros fires at Milovy but is told to cease fire by his boss, as the gunfire would strike the cargo plane carrying the opium shipment. Just before the plane takes off, Necros leaps into the plane's open hatch. Necros himself is killed after a midair fight with Bond on the holding net of the cargo plane. Necros is about to fall to the ground, but he grabs onto Bond's boot. Necros pleads for his life, but Bond uses a knife to cut the boot's laces. Necros, still holding onto the boot, plummets to his death.

to let the updraft pull him safely from the falling Land Rover; the assassin is not so lucky and dies when the ammo finally explodes as the vehicle hits the water.
. Feyador provided Koskov with men and trucks necessary for his Koskov's opium deal with the Mujahadin, and on Koskov's request has the captured Bond and Kara Milovy
locked up in the base's brig. However, they escape and later attacke the base in full force with Kamran Shah and his men. When Bond seizes control of the Russian cargo plane Koskov intended to use to fly the opium to Tangier
, a furious Koskov orders Feyador to block the runway with something, anything. Feyador jumps into a fuel truck and tries to drive it into the path of the plane. Kamran Shah, seeing what Feyador is trying to do, throws a grenade underneath the vehicle. Although Feyador notices the grenade, he is unable to get out in time and dies when the truck exploded.
