It's just an editing thing people, the helicopters are shooting at the attackers, not defenders. The shots showing defenders falling while helis open up are like last ones to die from attackers' gunfire.
Too bad Russians aren't as Awesome as Americans. We are better than Russia and Afganistan in every possible way. It's okay to be jealous of America, as long as you're openly ashamed for not being an American.
In reality, The 9th company did, successfully defend hill 3234, but only six men were killed from the company, and 28 of the total 39 were wounded. The entire time the company was in contact with HQ, and they commanders did whatever was possible concerning ammunition and resupplying the soldiers.
are they fighting here against taliban or afghan because on 2:50 that is Russian attack helicopter firing these people who fight also against muslim on that scene?
@6digit if you good Hill 3234 (i think thats the name of it), you can find out all the information. But from what i know they are fighting Mujahideen.
Trying to bring Socialism and enlightment to these barbarians was a lost cause from the get go. Let them live in a perpetual middle age, with constant tribal warfare, doped on religion and opium.
In my little war I shot at people armed like these Russians. Years later my best friend got drunk with some Spetzaz types in San Fransico and said, "they're just like us." Maybe so. I felt for these guys in the vid - very moving. So I'll have toast you boys in Vodka and say, as we do in the South, "Bless your hearts!"
@bluewhofu17690 I think you have alot of things mistaken, this battle was at the end, when Russia was bankrupt, and the Mujihideen had cut the Russian supply lines by at least 80%, Russian logistics were smashed, and Air power was limited because of the stingers. Yes indeed in a clean battle at the start things would happen as you said. However after 8 years of occupation, the USSR was dying.
Your war ended in August 2008 with Russian/South Ossetian/Abkhazian victory. Even the motherfucking majority of experts, monitors and ambassadors agreed that Georgia started the war illegally.
agreed, us brits are there now making the same mistakes. Losing our own lads there. I feel bad for the young man of the former soviet union who were conscripted to go there.
@trigga1uk Just like the Soviet Union the Brit government is grossly lying about the amount of casualties it is recieving as well. If the Brit public knew the Magnitude of the death and destruction they would never support this war.
well we hear about the men who die but we dont hear about the hundreds who suffer life changing injuries. Right now we are having an inquiry into iraq to decide whether it was wrong to invade (which means all the lives lost were pointless). Will we do the same in a few years about afghanistan?
lol not cia say it isi its pakistani agency cia use to give money paki agency isi nd isi gets people from pakistan to afghanistan americans cant fight like this..
lol i even said one time that the terrorist that wear the hood black cap mask, the scarf looking thing,wearing a full armor vest looks cool looking. But suicide bombers arent cool looking though
its a shame the americans didn't learn from frances mistake about fighting the vietnamese but again they didn't learn from russia's mistake about fighting the afghans.
these people live in caves for fuck sake, they have nothing to lose and will fight to the bitter end.
Mate, I recommend that you buy the DVD, its in Russian but with English sub-titles, very engaging . . . Enjoy, especially for anyone who has set foot in Afghanistan . . Rob
yes, but at least the vc and the Sovies were already allys, and the NVA and VC were insane religous finatical nuts, the US didn't care who the soviets enemies were they just funded them, and today it has totlallly backfired on the us

GOODFELLAS74 2 years ago
Actually not.
It is a special purpose Pakistani unit called "Black Storks".
They were funded by Pakistani ISI and USA CIA, so they were quite well equipped.
Hohol (Fedor Bondarchuk's character with bald head) says in the beginning of the fight "We are really screwed, these guys will fight to the end".
