9th Company (9 POTA) is a 2005 Russian language film about a group of Soviet Recruits from Basic Training to combat in the mountains of Afghanistan, during the Afghan-Russo War (1979-1989). The story deals with the idealistic young soldiers who are fighting a desperate battle against the Mujahideen fighters in the final days of the doomed conflict. It is (loosely) based on the Battle for Hill 3234.
The following firearms are used in the film 9th Company:
Rifles
AK-74
The AK-74, the replacement for the iconic AK-47, is the main weapon of both Soviet Paratroopers and the Muhjadeen fighters.
[[
ASK-74
Several Soviet Soldiers use the AKS-74, differentiated from the AK-74 by its folding stack (or lack of buttstock).
[[
Dragunov SVD
An SVD Dragunov is issued to Petrovsky, who is an excellent marksman.
Machine Guns
PKM Machine Gun
Several 9th Company soldiers use the PKM Machine Gun: Chugainov is given Samyilin's old gun, which suffered a bend in the barrel due to a hand grenade explosion. He can be seen in one scene trying to sight it to fire at a rock 3m away. One of the main characters grabs the barrel of his PKM to bash a Mujahideen and sustains 3rd degree burns.
NSV Heavy Machine Gun
The NSV Heavy Machine Gun is heavily used by Soviet Paratroopers on Hill 3234.
DShK Heavy Machine Gun
A DShK Heavy Machine Gun is given to 9th Company, while others can be seen at the various military bases on top of military vehicles. As this is a Russian-produced film, the DsHk's in the film are authentic, and not the M2 mock-ups commonly seen in American productions.
Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B Machine Gun
The Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B is mounted on Soviet Mi-25 Gunships which come to the rescue of 9th Company during the final assault.
ZU-23
The ZU-23 Anti-Aircraft Gun is mounted on Soviet vehicles.
Launchers
GP-25 Grenade Launcher
The AK-74 mounted GP-25 grenade launcher is used by Warrant Officer Pogrebnyak. This Grenade Launcher was first introduced in the 1980s and was referred to as the BG15. A later updated version would be the GP-30.
RPG-7
Used by the Mudjahideen alongside RPG-18s to attack the 9th Company.
