Found a movie on hulu.com, 9th Company, a Russian made film about 1988 Afghanistan, Soviet invasion thereof. Not too much propaganda, in fact, they made some Soviet doctrines seem just as stupid as they were. However, the whole thing was filmed in Russia, with lots of genuine Soviet equipment used, AK, DshK, T-72, MI-24 Hind D, MI-8 Hip, etc, except one scene involving a "sniper rifle" appeared to be the Iraqui extended AK clone instead of a genuine Dragunov, not sure. Didn't get to finish the movie, connection fizzled, but if you can stand the subtitles, it's definately interesting, a look into the Soviet Viet Nam, complete with some gear we just normally don't get to see much of out here. I am going to try to get it back up.
