The Detached Mission (Russian title: Odinochnoye plavanye) is a 1985 military thriller directed by Mikhail Tumanishvili. It tells the story of a group of Soviet marines who are tasked with stopping a rogue American officer from launching nuclear missiles that would cause an international crisis. The film is notable for being the only Soviet movie to ever show the two superpowers fighting each other. While originally touted to foreign audiences as being the Soviet version of Rambo: First Blood Part II, the film is more slowly paced and slightly less cartoonish in its depiction of the enemy.
The following weapons were used in the film The Detached Mission (Odinochnoye plavanye):
Pistols
Makarov PM
Major Shatokhin (Mikhail Nozhkin) and Starshi praporshchik (Chief petty officer) Aleksandr Kruglov (Aleksandr Fatyushin) carry Makarov PM pistols. Shatokhin uses his PM when he lands on the island to search for the hidden American missile base, but drops it once he is surrounded by enemy soldiers.
Walther P38
Two American black ops soldiers use suppressed Walther P38 pistols when they attempt to kill Jack Harrison (Vitaly Zikora) and his wife Caroline (Veronika Izotova) after they witness a secret U.S. missile test.
Colt M1911A1
M1911A1 pistols are seen in holsters of many American officers and warrant officers, including Maj. Jack Hessalt (Arnis Licitis) and SSG Eddie Griffith (Nikolay Lavrov). M1911 is seen in action when one of the American guards tried to shoot the rogue American soldier with his pistol.
Submachine Guns
Sa.26 Submachine Gun
Horts (Aleksandr Inshakov), the commander of a group of rogue American soldiers who surrounds the Soviet marines, is armed with a Sa.26 submachine gun.
Rifles
M1 Carbine
Jack Harrison (Vitaliy Zikora) uses a M1 Carbine after he decides to help the Soviets stop the rogue soldiers. His carbine is of WWII era, without bayonet lug.
Assault Rifles
AKS-47
The standard rifle of the Soviet marines is the AKS-47 rifle, as evidenced by the milled receiver and slab sided magazines. AKS-47s are used by two members of Major Shatokin's squad, Starshi praporshchik Kruglov (Aleksandr Fatyushin) and Pvt. Danilov (Sergey Nasibov) first during hand to hand combat training and later when the squad assaults the American missile base.
AK-47
Some Soviet Navy sailors carry AK-47s in the scene on the island.
AK-74
AK-74 assault rifles are briefly seen in the hands of Soviet sailors when they land to assist the marines in removing casualties.
Heckler & Koch G3A3
Heckler & Koch G3A3 rifles are used by some American soldiers throughout the movie. Major Shatokhin (Mikhail Nozhkin) picks up one from a dead Green Beret and uses it for most of the scenes in the missile base. Kruglov (Aleksandr Fatyushin) briefly holds the G3 when Shatokhin picks up the rocket launcher.
Sturmgewehr 44
Sturmgewehr 44 rifles, visually modified to resemble AR-10 or M16, are used by several rogue American soldiers. Such props are often seen in Soviet 1970s-1980s movies.
Machine Guns and Autocannons
PK Machine Gun
The PK machine gun is used by Sgt. Parshin (Nartai Begalin), a member of Shatokin's squad. He uses it to break up an American ambush and later to stop an attacking American missile boat.
ZB26 Machine Gun
The ZB26 machine gun is used by the Americans as their primary support weapon. It is possibly used as a replacemnt for Browning Automatic Rifle, the only magazine-fed American light machine gun.
Nudelman-Nemenov NN-30
Nudelman-Nemenov NN-30 autocannons in AK-230 twin mountings are mounted on two Project 205 (NATO code: Osa-class) missile boats, standing for American ships.
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-6-30
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-6-30 autocannons in AK-630 CIWS are mounted on several Soviet Navy ships.
Other Weapons
P-27 Pancerovka
P-27 Pancerovka rocket launcher is used by both American and Soviet personnel. Major Shatokhin (Mikhail Nozhkin) uses a captured launcher to destroy an attacking American patrol boat.
Leuchtpistole Flare Gun
Jack Harrison fires a Leuchtpistole flare gun to attract the help after the shipwreck.
F-1 Hand Grenade
In one scene Kruglov (Aleksandr Fatyushin) holds the F-1 hand grenade. The exact screen grenade is URG, the training version of F-1.
RGD-5 Hand Grenade
During the shootout inside the base Maj. Shatokhin (Mikhail Nozhkin) uses the RGD-5 hand grenade. The exact screen grenade is URG-N, the training version of RGD-5.
Two 21-KM naval guns, navalised version of M-42 AT gun, are mounted on Ochakov. These old-style weapons were used on Soviet Navy ships as salute cannons for ceremonial usage.
Footage
Browning M3
USAF Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bomber, seen in documentary footage, has quad Browning M3 machine gun in tail mounting.
M61 Vulcan
M61 Vulcan autocannon in Phalanx CIWS is mounted on US Navy aircraft carrier, seen in documentary footage.
Trivia
Kalashnikov bayonet knife
A Kalashnikov bayonet knife, most likely the version designed for the original AK-47, is used by the Soviet Marines in hand to hand combat training and later against American soldiers.
The movie received some assistance from the Soviet Navy, which provided Kara-class cruiser (Soviet designation is Project 1134B Berkut B) and 2 Osa-class missile boats (Project 205) which represented U.S Navy ships, presumably Pegasus-class hydrofoils. In addition, stock footage of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz was also used to depict American naval exercises in the Pacific.
