The Russian Fulll Metal Jacket?? Not even close. To say this movie compares w/ the Kubrik film is trying be something its not. It had its moments but overall a bad film. Could have been much better. Over acting unrealistic combat and the girl that bangs everyone is utter bs. Seeing the Russian Gov funded this movie in opening credits led me to believe that this movie was going to be glorified. What a let down. The good things?? The military hardware and other military equipment was the only good thing. Hinds and Frogfoots as well the tanks and BMP`s are nice. In the end its a typical war movie. Nothing as the hype leads you to believe as an above average film. Try ARMADILLO from Denmark instead. Its a doc but its a gritty film about war in Afghanistan
This movie is a rare view into the USSR war in Afghanistan. Filled with authentic AK74s, RPKs, real paratrooper uniforms and gears, tanks, BMPs, Hinds, etc., great characters. There are definitely some war movies type tropes, but I think this movies is very, very well done.

It's basically a Russian version of Full Metal Jacket from the Afghan War back in the 80's. Each character has it's own story but they all become involved in the brotherhood that grows from being in combat. I very much liked the story and the combat scenes are excellent. If you like movies like FMJ or shows like Band of Brothers you will enjoy this movie.
Nice movie that recounts about the troops in Afghanistan. True realism about brutal warfare and soldiers unity
