Red troops use Austin armoured cars. The screen vehicles are possible originals rather than replicas, or maybe genuine bodies mounted on more modern chassis.
Red troops use Austin armoured cars. The screen vehicles are possible originals rather than replicas, or maybe genuine bodies mounted on more modern chassis. It seems that three Austins are used in the movie, two of 1st series and one of 3rd series, that perfectly correspond the real 53rd armoured automobile Turkestan squad that participated in the assault of Bukhara.

The Crash of the Emirate (Krushenie emirata) is a 1955 Soviet historical movie directed by Vladimir Basov and Latif Faiziyev. The movie depicts the events of Summer 1920 when the Emirate of Bukhara, a Central Asian state and former protectorate of Russian Empire, was taken by Red Army under the command of Mikhail Frunze.
The following weapons were used in the film The Crash of the Emirate (Krushenie emirata):
Nagant M1895 revolvers are seen in several scenes, used by both Reds and Whites. The revolvers are of post-1930 version.
Pistols
Mauser C96
Uzbek Bolshevik Sherali Yakubov (Sanat Divanov) carries a Mauser C96. Mauser pistols are also used by Basmachi (Central Asian Muslim rebels).
FN Model 1910
The member of the Revolutionary Military Council of Turkestan front Valerian Vladimirovich Kuybyshev (Vladimir Krasnopolskiy) carries an FN Model 1910 pistol. A high rank officer of Bukhara army (Artavazd Kefchiyan), credited as "Turkish officer", is also seen with an FN 1910. In the final scene when victorious Red Army men and Bukhara revolutionaries fire their guns in salute, Kurban Saidov (Abdusalom Rakhimov), a Bukhara coppersmith and paricipant of the uprising against Emir, holds a handgun that is possibly the same FN 1910.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M1891
Most Red Army men, Bukhara army soldiers and Emir's guards and rebelling Bukhara people are armed with Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry rifles.
76.2mm M1902 (or, more likely, M1902/30 with L30 barrels) are used by Red Army and Bukhara troops.
Armour
Red troops use Austin armoured cars. The screen vehicles are possible originals rather than replicas, or maybe genuine bodies mounted on more modern chassis. It seems that three Austins are used in the movie, two of 1st series and one of 3rd series, that perfectly correspond the real 53rd armoured automobile Turkestan squad that participated in the assault of Bukhara.
An armoured train of Red Army is seen in the movie. It is seen only partially but the shape of the armoured wagons match OB-3 pattern of WW2 era.
