Revision as of 21:52, 22 January 2012
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 Paratroopers, assigned to the 9th Company, 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.
Only Lyosha used AK-74, rest of them are AKS-74 with a rubber band around folding stock (note folding stock button on receiver).
AKS-74
Soviet Paratroopers use the AKS-74, differentiated from the AK-74 by its folding stock (or lack of buttstock), in both training and combat in Afghanistan. The Mujahideen fighters also use them. Their heavier-then-expected use amongst the 9th Company in both training and combat is undoubtedly due to their lightweight and the ability to fold the buttstock, making them ideal for paratroopers.
Dragunov SVD
An SVD Dragunov is issued to Giaconda Petrovsky (Konstantin Kryukov), whom is an excellent marksman.
Machine Guns
PKM Machine Gun
Several 9th Company Paratroopers use the PKM Machine Gun: Chugainov (Ivan Kokorin) is given Samylin'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 paratroopers grabs the barrel of his PKM to bash a Mujahideen and sustains 3rd degree burns in the process.
RPK-74 Light Machine Gun
Soviet Paratroopers and their Afghan allies can be occasionally seen using the RPK-74 Light Machine Gun.
KPVT Heavy Machine Gun
The KPVT Heavy Machine Gun is mounted on BTR-60 APC's and BRDM-2 scout vehicles used by the Soviet Army in the film.
NSV Heavy Machine Gun
The NSV Heavy Machine Gun is used as a mounted heavy machine gun by Soviet Paratroopers on Hill 3234. Additional NSVT's are seen mounted at the Commander's hatches of T-64 tanks (despite the T-64 being incorrect for the Soviet war in Afghanistan; these tanks are possibly standing in for the similar T-72).
Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2
The Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2 is mounted on the Soviet Mi-24P Gunships which come to the rescue of 9th Company during the final assault.
ZU-23-2
The ZU-23-2 Anti-Aircraft Gun is seen at Bagram Airbase and mounted at the Anava Outpost.
Launchers
GP-25 Grenade Launcher
The AK-74 mounted GP-25 grenade launcher is used by Warrant Officer Khokol Pogrebnyak (Fyodor Bondarchuk) and Afanasiy (Dmitriy Mukhamadeev). 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
The RPG-7, mounted with a PGO-7 scope, is used by the Mujahideen alongside RPG-18s to attack the 9th Company. They are also carried by Soviet Paratroopers, but without a scope. A glaring error is that in several shots it is apparent that there is no loaded rocket when the RPG is fired.
RPG-18
The disposable, single-shot RPG-18 launcher is used by Mujahideen to attack the Soviets. Soviet Paratroopers also carry and operate them.
Grenades
F-1 Hand Grenade
The main grenade carried by the Soviet Paratroopers is the World War Two-era F-1 Hand Grenade, even though the RGD-5 was standard issue from the 1960's onward.
RGD-5 Hand Grenade
Giaconda Petrovsky (Soslan Fidarov) throws an RGD-5 Hand Grenade into a Mujahideen tunnel complex in the aftermath of the Convoy Ambush.
Fake Antitank Grenade
A dummy Antitank Grenade is used by Vorobey (Aleksey Chadov) in an exercise during training.
