Talk:9th Company

Not my screencaps

A friend forwarded them to me. I am trying to teach him the ways of IMFDB. One of which is that we focus on the best shots of the guns. So this page is a work in progress. :) MoviePropMaster2008 18:45, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

LAW?

Are you sure it's not the RPG-18? which looks just like a LAW?

• It's easier to get an RPG than a US LAW, both to a mojahedee (dushman) and to the Russian armourers, and has minor yet visible differences from the LAW. The only US weapon you could expect is a CIA-delivered FIM-92 Stinger SAM.

twin-barrel GSh-30K

The fixed guns of the Mil Mi24s seem to be a side-mounted twin barrel GSh-30k, I havent seen any Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B Gatling gun on the helicopters in the movie.

Fixed it

ZU 23?

The ZU23 is an anti aircraft gun 23mm. The primary armament of the BMP2, portrayed carrying the russian paratroopers, is a 2A42 30mm autocannon.

DShK and T-72?

In the screenshot shown T-64 tank. (Which actually never been used during the Afghan-Russo War). This tank is armed with a 12.7 mm NSVT antiaircraft machine gun.

Fixed it. Also corrected a goof that mis-identified a BRDM-2 as a BTR-60. Orca1 9904 15:59, 10 September 2011 (CDT)

Yes, you speak correctly. In the Afghan war were used only Т-62 Flexo 14:04, 26 December 2011 (CST)

"we" .... hahaha it's so funny to hear Russians talk like that. You guys are probably too young to remember how we (as in the USSR vs US) faced off on each other all the time. I remember facing NVA and Red Army troops across the barbed wire during training in West Berlin. We hated them and they hated us. How times have changed. Now, we just think each other is lame.... ;) LOL. Never thought I'd talk to people in the Russian military, but since 1990 I've talked to dozens. BTW, why no T72s in Afghanistan?
