Afghan Breakdown (Afganskiy izlom) is a 1991 Soviet-Italian co-production war drama directed by Vladimir Bortko. It depicts the story of a Soviet paratrooper unit just before the Soviet pull-out in 1988. Michele Placido appears in the role of Maj. Bandura, war-burned officer who is highly respected by his soldiers but disliked by commanders.
The following weapons were used in the film Afghan Breakdown:
Handguns
Makarov PB
Makarov PM
M1911A1
Walther P38
Smith & Wesson No 3 Russian Model
Unidentified revolvers
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41
A PPSh-41 submachine gun is used by one of the mujaheddin who ambush a Soviet convoy mid-way through the film.
SA.23
Rifles
SVD
Lee-Enfield SMLE No. 1 Mk.III* and Lee-Enfield No.4 MkI
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* and No.4 MkI rifles are carried by several of the mujaheddin fighters, most notably when the Soviet paratroopers attack a rebel village in the film's finale.
SVT-40
The Tokarev SVT-40 Rifle is carried by several mujaheddin, and is most clearly seen when the paratroopers ambush a group of rebels in the film's introduction.
Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Assault Rifles
AKMS
AKMS rifles are commonly used by the Soviet paratroopers in conjunction with the AKS-74, with most having orange bakelite magazines taped together "jungle-style". Major Bandura (Michele Placido), the leader of the airborne unit, carries an AKMS with a 75-round RPK drum magazine throughout much of the film, before switching to standard metal magazines during the finale.
AKM
AKM rifles are occasionally seen in the hands of Soviet troops and Afghan mujaheddin, most notably during a scene when a crate of the rifles is given by the Soviets to a local tribal leader.
Norinco Type 56
Most of the mujaheddin are armed with Norinco Type 56 rifles with under-folding bayonets, which is realistic considering many fighters in real life were supplied with Chinese weapons.
AKS-74
The AKS-74 is the standard weapon of the Soviet paratroopers, with some of the rifles being fitted with GP-25 grenade launchers. Most of the rifles have two magazines taped "jungle-style" with blue electrical tape, a common practice among Soviet and Russian soldiers.
AKS-74U
A Soviet tank crew member fires an AKS-74U when a convoy is ambushed by the mujaheddin, wounding one of the fighters who is promptly crushed by the tank.

PKT
A PKT is mounted on Mi-8. Such usage of PKT was quite common during the Afghan war and local conflicts of 1990s-2000s.
DShKM
The DShK heavy machine gun is used by Soviet and mujaheddin forces.
Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B
KPVT
ZU-23
Afanasev-Makarov AM-23
Twin Afanasev-Makarov AM-23 autocannon is mounted in tail mounting of An-12 cargo plane.
Shipunov 2A42

Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2K
Other Weapons
RPG-7V
Mujaheddin fighters use RPG-7 rocket launchers to destroy gasoline tankers when they ambush a Soviet convoy.
AGS-17
Major Bandura commandeers an AGS-17 grenade launcher in the film's finale, using it to suppress the mujaheddin that are hiding in a village.
GP-25
F-1 Hand Grenade
