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 US 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):
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 US missile base, but drops it once he is surrounded by enemy soldiers.
Two US 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.
M1911A1 pistols are seen in holsters of many US 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 US guards tries to shoot a rogue US soldier with his pistol.
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 a bayonet lug.
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 US missile base.
Heckler & Koch G3A3 rifles are used by some US 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 rifles, visually modified to resemble an Armalite rifle such as an AR-10 or an M16, are used by several rogue US soldiers. Such props are often seen in Soviet 1970s-1980s movies.
The PK machine gun is used by Sgt. Parshin (Nartai Begalin), a member of Shatokin's squad. He uses it to break up a US ambush and later to stop an attacking US missile boat.
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 US light machine gun.
Nudelman-Nemenov NN-30 autocannons in AK-230 twin mountings are mounted on two Project 205 (NATO code: Osa-class) missile boats, standing for US warships.
Pancerovka P-27 rocket launcher is used by both US and Soviet personnel. Major Shatokhin (Mikhail Nozhkin) uses a captured launcher to destroy an attacking US patrol boat.
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.
The movie received heavy assistance from the Soviet Navy. Ochakov (board number 703) large antisubmarine ship (Project 1124B, NATO code: Kara-class cruiser) is the "main character" of the movie. Also notable place is hold by two Project 205 (NATO code: Osa-class) missile boats which represented US Navy ships.
