9th Company / 9-ya rota - arriving in Afghanistan

[mrfreeze0054]

cool scene. they have no idea what awaits them.

[mrfreeze0054]

saw the movie a few ago, nice!!!!!

[DreyfussFUBAR]

I'm a US fanboy but i have to say, that was a badass scene.

[raythedodger]

I watch war movies from around the world and had been wanting to see a movie about the Soviet Afghan war. I thought this was a great movie and though reading subtitltes is not my favorite thing to do, the message is common in all war films. It tells the story of the Soldier and that is all that matters to me. Politics aside, my salute to the brave men of all nations.

[RAGSTAluvsDA90z]

have you seen the beast?

[mrfreeze0054]

Yep good one too. Takes place more out in the countryside

[IfromUkrane]

its google translate!

Im sory i from russia its not simple for me!

how many​languages do you know?

[hmmwvj]

flare dispensers!

[IgorRussak]

I finally found this song!!! on iphone there is an app called "shazam" it said its кандагар 9 рота

type it in google and the first site. but its only about 2 minutes

[mandrugada]

@IgorRussak thank you )) I didn't know this

[mrfreeze0054]

Russia's "Vietnam"

[controlusplease1]

0:30 always gives me the chills

[WunderDoob]

The subtitles in this are different from the DVD i got the other day. In DVD he says, "4 tours, 28 firefights, not a scratch!"

[damiion666]

@WunderDoob But yea I'm with u there about Red Dawn over Platoon...but that's just me personally I like the straighforward "us vs them" shoot-em-up war flicks over the melodramatic flicks.

[damiion666]

Sorry but I'm rooting for the mujahadeen freedom fighters in this film. Send those commie bastards back home!

[controlusplease1]

@damiion666 ...the same mujahadeen freedom fighters the ISAF coalition forces are currently fighting in afghanistan today?

ummm, sorry buddy, but we've invaded afghanistan just the same way the soviets did in the 80's. plus you have to remember, its not political ideologies that fight wars, its the men.

this movie isnt about politics, its about the destruction & inhumanity of warfare.

[damiion666]

@controlusplease1 "...the same mujahadeen freedom fighters the ISAF coal forces are fighting in afghan today?" Yes of course. Alliances change, enemies change.

We made no illusions as to why we went in. You harbor our enemies that blew away our civilians u pay the price. Much more honest answer than "we're here to help the Peoples Republic of Afghanistan in their struggle...workers of the world...unite!!"

I know what this movie is about but it's not all that realistic. Just a Platoon ripoff.

[controlusplease1]

@damiion666 it doesnt have to be realistic, it was a show of the hard times soviet soldiers had in afghanistan. and if youre bringing up the point of realism, to be honest, platoon wasnt that realistic of a movie either, although it was a great movie.

thats the purpose of movies, its not the realism that matters, its the symbolism.

well, fine, on that level of thinking, we should have invaded Egytpt & Arabia as well after 9/11, afterall most of the terrorists involved were Egyptians & saudis

[damiion666]

@controlusplease1 Just because a terrorist was born in a certain country doesn't mean that country deliberately produced that individual to do what they did. Afghanistan provided a unique situation in that we knew the mastermind of 9/11 was being harbored by the current de facto givt at the time and would protect him to the end. Well they got what they asked for. imo a much better reason than the excuse of "we are there to provide assistance"

[damiion666]

@controlusplease1 And I have no major problem with this movie. The combat seems very entertaining I actually enjoyed it. But it is very unrealistic in that they don't even show what the soviets did as far as annihilating innocent civilians and such. Very sanitized version. At least platoon showed both sides of what soldiers in the field are capable of.

[WunderDoob]

@damiion666

Actually this movie is 10x better than Platoon.

Platoon had to be the most unrealistic piece of garbage I've ever seen. Red Dawn was more realistic and it's entirely based on a fictitious event.

[damiion666]

@WunderDoob ROFL okaaay 10x better than Platoon. Everything Platoon did this movie copied. This is a fuckin' low budget B movie. Nvm this plot has been beat to death a million times over. Don't get me wrong I still liked the action scenes in this movie that's why I watch war flicks such as this one, but by far it's no Platoon. Not enough character development and u don't grow to like or hate any of the characters, well, except for the chinese dude he was kinda funny lol but it was more his looks

[yurimarciniak]

Recently a visited de Ukranian museus of afeghan war ( close the Rodina Mat, Kiev).

I didn´t know that there is an afeghan war museus there too.

I just can speak: very, very sad.

[SurfAlien2]

I recently saw this movie. This has definitely sparked my interest in learning more about the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

[Quingu89]

@SurfAlien2 Yeah same as me. I really enjoyed this movie.

[mandrugada]

Kamal Ballan is singing in this scene. He is a syrian composer, poet and musician, who lives in Moscow.

[IgorRussak]

@mandrugada i searched for him... couldnt find anything could you maybe find that song for us please?

[mandrugada]

@IgorRussak his music website is kamalstudio(dot)com/eng I am not sure this song is uploaded there but there are a lot of other beautiful melodies and songs. He has also a bellydance school, its site is kamalballan(dot)com. Anyway you may ask him directly in facebook )

[hassannn75]

Another great movie got ignored once again by the critics, it deserved at least a " Best Foreign Language Film " oscar nomination, But screw the critics again :D

[Unit987654321]

@hassannn75 Well obviously there are political factors that affect the nominations, for example the US call the Soviets in Afghanistan as 'aggression' but they call themselves in Afghanistan as 'bringing democracy' or 'fighting terrorists' that everyone knows were supplied by the US. This movie was selected but it was not nominated most likely for that sole reason.

[dopefish93]

@Unit987654321 what the us goverment has not yet understanded is that you cant force democary upon a people it can only be accived through revolution history tells us that

[damiion666]

@Unit987654321 That's because everyone knows soviet communism sucked balls and no one wanted that shit to spread throughout the world. democracy always > communism.

[masterdragunov]

does anybody now the farsi soundtrack at the begin ?

[Czaendermajer]

THETANK249 and afghan language is farsi, NOT ARABIC, the producers would not use an arab song, unless they are idiots who dont know whats farsi! but still tell me whats the song plz

[valiosubaru]

This is the best film done ever about the Russian war in Afghanistan ! 

[lockerdogs]

@valiosubaru yep i bought a copy on ebay

[pen24]

This movie was great! I wish Russia would make a movie of the 60 hour Maikopskoy brigade but I doubt it.

[Czaendermajer]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, TELL ME THE NAME OF THE SOUNDTRACK IN THIS SCENE, I NEED TO KNOW!

[THETANK249]

@Czaendermajer There is no soundtrack here. Only an arab song

[Czaendermajer]

@THETANK249 then tell the name of that song!

[THETANK249]

@Czaendermajer Sorry, i dont know. I know the song is not afghan, its arabic. Really sorry

[IIIGR1Z]

the ending is epic

[zenoist2]

Good film!

Bit weird though near the end.

Apparently everyone had forgotten them stuck there on that hill !!!

The only guy that survived had a lucky amulet.

[the964]

BEST MOVIE EVER!

(not like the american shitty moveis)

[HerroHerrar]

respect to Spatnaz and Mujahideen

[IgorRussak]

This film in any other language than russian... isnt worth to watch it.

only in russian its so good!!

[DarkForce230]

you've missed the part where the plane is shot down by the missiles. it's the whole point of this part of the movie. the guy who gave the amulet to the other lost his luck and probably died in the crash. It's to make people realise that even though you have done your service in afghanistan, you still have to come back home safe..

But still nice video

[zumbwanda]

excelente pelicula ya la vi como 6 veces , bien hecha

[valeria2718]

Tremenda pelicula

[MsJheaven]

amazing!!!

[kvieciens]

American Platoon 100% copy

[aktovegin]

@kvieciens Ты че, дурак? Там сцены реально похожие на настоящие. Почему копия? =))) И вообще, когда в твоей нищебродской провинции че-нить хоть снимут, тогда и пизди. А то у вас даже новости делают на уровне наших муниципальных каналов.

[CyberParkRangers]

@kvieciens

Are you talking about the Movie Platoon that was made in the 70's(?) 80's(?) or early 90's(?)

[lepricoun]

@CyberParkRangers Platoon made in 1986

[IgorRussak]

does someone know the name of the song?

ktota snajet kak pesnju sawut?

[klencisceva]

thank you for posting the clip and your message. The film deserved to be valued in the memory of the lifes, which were lost for nothing.

[slugyshot]

i see this one has subtitles , i have been looking for company 9 with subtitles, anybody knows where to start ?

[lockerdogs]

ebay i got mine there 7 subtitles

[russianXgamepro]

utorrent i tink

[DuckingNDiving]

chinese army number1 russia 2 and usa number3

[Patrickisreallygreat]

in terms of shear numbers, yes. but it does not reflect military experience, strategy, or technology.

[75ranger101]

you have it backwards you fuckin gook

[HKgunner]

Lol at the guys pushing the BTR. And this cut right before the best part!

[venetolengoa]

russian army is number 2 in the world!

[SmokiSounds]

Number ONE

[lockerdogs]

oh yea war is hell dont matter where in the world

[lockerdogs]

SALUTE

[intotranceforlife]

Odin iz lydshih russkih filmov-hands down-kto vozrazaet-hyi vam v zhopy

[ImJustSkyo]

тебе любой ветеран той войны скажет что херня этот фильм

[gendercv]

Да это так. Однако этот фильм поднимает, (у меня поднял) чувство гордости за нашу армию. И храни её бойцов Иисус Христос.

[MA4AJlKO]

Буквально только что смотрел мувик тут на ютубе про 9ую роту,где сидят ветираны и говорят что всё правда.

[lockerdogs]

i live in canada i just bought this film on ebay i want this in my collection a different view :)

[Komissar1945]

Кино фиговое, восточная музыка и собаки - только усиливают напряжение. Дембель - да, позитивный, но продолжение эпизода с сбитым самолетом тоже оптимизма не прибавляет.

[SmokiSounds]

Какая-то логика у тебя фиговая. Война, какой блин позитив?? Марш смотреть Симпсонов.

[Congo4life]

lmao he jinxed himself

[seven47katana]

translation is not so good but its good to know your on lounge :)

[thewrongmexican]

God, the Hind is the scariest thing I've ever seen.

[superstarlet93]

whats the song called?

[xxxdieselyyy]

GOod movie!!

But on a historical sense, the ones who attacked the 9th independents in the battle portrayed here were not Mujahideens but Pakistani special forces.

I should say even in real life battle, the 9th Independents fought very well in that occasion.

And 5 guys survived, not just 1. Were they "forgotten"- they were received as heroes in USSR if I remember correctly.

Not entirely "historical fact reenacment" but nevertheless a good quality war movie, no matter who you supported...

[xxxdieselyyy]

Correction- The actual result was 9 KIA and 28 Seriously wounded.

[trigga1uk]

yea, the movie seems to have most guys getting killed, but im sure many were just wounded.

[CasPioneer]

I seen this movie,2 weeks ago...really good movie

[Kalash47ussr]

2 months and 2 weeks you mean.

[Kassad86]

Reminds me of the beginning of Platoon

[Patty1917]

I thought the exact same thing.

[nic2k6y]

really nice film, im not political. i just like watching ak47/74 variants in action since im using the same rifle as my primary weapon in airsoft games. thanks to the fellow who posted the link in an airsoft website.

[hofek1989]

Oglądałem ten filmik i całkiem całkiem on jest. Dzięki niemu trochę zainteresowałem się konfliktem radziecko-afgańskim. Najlepsza jest ta scena jak otwiera się luk Tupolewa i widać śmigłowiec MI-24 przy arabskiej muzyczce.

[ayselksa]

that movie ROCKS:D

[c0ffe1n]

Need to remember that Al Qaeda appeared from Pakistan. As well Usama bin Laden. On afganian war have a warm fight our 459th company "Cascade" by GRU USSR. Soviet special forces in that time. And they fought with "black storks" - elite pakistan forces under command by Gulbeddin Heckmatiar and not famous Usama bin Laden. This "black storks" studied by pakistanian and american instructors. GRU Specnaz killed in this fight 372 pakistan soldiers, and have 2 soldiers on they side fallen.

[mihanich]

because pakis cant to fight. they have koran inplace weapon.

[peterann1]

Sad part of this was American Instuctors were there to provide military instruction for peace establishment.....just as they did for Ho Chi Minh during WW2 fought against Japon. Politics often go awraw....Russia and Warsaw Pact....United.........against the next REICH.

[Ryzs72]

this all film is nice

[jumashumba]

War in Afghanistan was a shame for Russians

How many young lives were left there? For what?

[cortezawwris]

TO fight radical Islamic terrorist and help are afghan brother agianst those the american supported and armed

[pakhpaloo]

ahhaha there was no radical islam when soviet invaded! you sob Roskies are stupid!

[cortezawwris]

Nay I believe your lacking in intelligence area. Your country was supported and training them.

[AFGalwayz]

because we chose to say no to the communist gov that seized our society in a coup and sent 10,000s of afghans into death prisons...

[Corvusdotensis]

Need to remember that Al Qaeda appeared in Afhganistan. Soviets fought terrorist bandits, they aided Afghanistan because they had a multual protection pact, as well as Soviets aided Mongolia against Japaneses during 30s

[peterann1]

PRAVDA. The mistake made was that of the past....no-one can defeat in Afghanistan.  Soviet forces retreated NOT IN DISGRACE and US Forces replaced them which will face eventual retreat. There is NOTHING in the rocks and stones for Soviet and Allied Forces to preserve.....good men and women die for nothing.

[kodishah]

wow. who make them redical? who used redicals to fight against russia? who trained them and equipped them. this all terrorism is their blessing.

[DilWaleMedia]

\\\fact: afghans Fucked Russia Up Fact: Pakistani ISI Played a big roll , Fact: USA gave AID to the Mujahideen.\\\ Fact: Afghans are fucking Americans up Fact: Pakistani ISI is playing a Big roll, Fact: Russia-China are selling(saudi money) weapons to the Mujahideen.

[Dorf777]

So the USA gave AID to the mujahs, and now Russia and China are SELLING guns?? No mate, sorry... You were SELLING guns to the mujahs and now we are doing the same.. Do not try to pretend that what the US in did in the 80s can be justified under a vague term 'aid'.. Its you turn to gather up shit in those mountains now.. Buena Fortuna

[Patriots293]

@Dorf777 well actually Russia did that to us first in Vietnam by selling guns, aircraft, and everything else to the North Vietmanese. The reason why we sold guns to the muj was just to get russia back for what they did in vietnam. So what we did in the 80's is justified, besides even if we didn't, the soviet union still would of collapsed in '91

[WolfhoundMercenary]

@Patriots293 Funny, you gave the Hadjis Stingers and weapons, just to have them used againts you today. Irony? :D

[Patriots293]

@WolfhoundMercenary yea except we haven't lost nearly as many men as the soviet union did when they were there. Lets be clear, if the russians are angry about the U.S. supplying the muj, they shouldn't of supplied the North Vietnamese in the 60's. An eye for an eye. As far as I'm concerned, we're even.

[WolfhoundMercenary]

@Patriots293 I don't think they give a shit at all, I am just commenting on the situation.

Yes, the ruskies had bigger casualties, but that's because the Hadjis were actually more organized, funded by your CIA, the Pakistani Black Storks and others. But today? You are just going to carpet bomb them and that's about it. Doesn't even come close to the battles the soviets fought.

[IfromUkrane]

@Patriots293 no! What about the first Chechen war?

but what about the Georgian aggression?(08 08 2008)

[IfromUkrane]

@Patriots293 What?WHat are you said?

We do not care for the Soviet Union!

Give us 13 000 eighteen-year guys who were there!

You kill us (and financed) of the political system ????????

Is it democracy? Yes, you beast! Now I understand why the world hates you!

[Patriots293]

@IfromUkrane you need to learn some english grammar because I'm not sure what you are really trying to say

[Timuriy]

Nearby 16000 killed for 10 years.

[rollinray]
