John Kettler Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 SpetsNaz, I think, vs muj in 1986. Russians are desperately trying to interdict Stinger shipments and capture a sample. Lots of war toys, including Mi-24V HIND/D. Really well done show, with real characters, not caricatures. Am finding this more than a bit surreal, for I was at Rockwell then and can well recall the electric sense of excitement we all felt in Operations Analysis when we got DOD Betamax footage of a muj downing a MI--17 HIP with a Stinger, We knew this would have a profound impact on Russian ability to use air power, especially helos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXo0ILflfYs Regards, John Kettler 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozlice Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Binge watched it, pretty refreshing after the cheese of modern Russian war flicks and the nihilism of 90s Afghan movies. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The desert uniforms in the show baffle me, since they really stand out against the terrain--until they get dusty, dirty or both. Was expecting this sort of attire.

Sandokan Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I've just watched the first episode. It's quite interesting. Thanks for the heads up JK. BTW I've on my "to watch" list on Netflix "Tell Spring not to come this year", a documentary about tha ANA. Has anybody checked it already? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Sandokan, Glad you're enjoying it. Don't have Netflix but shall be keen interested in what you have to say after watching it. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper117 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Just watched the first one... all I can say after watching them ambush the convoy, is 'Fred Karno's'... It's entertaining in it's own way, but the Soviet elite forces are probably not to happy to see them portrayed as this bunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Slapstick comedian from way back. As for the reference, think “Clown Show”, clusterphuk, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, John Kettler Put it this way John... if I had demonstrated on my platoon sgt's battle course that the ambush was to be conducted in the fashion shown in the movie, I'd have been on the first transport out of Brecon... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Inagree with Trooper. I turned it off after the first few minutes. Maybe the rest was well done, but the ambush was pretty stupid and the FX, etc. was not too impressive either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 i saw Tell Spring Not to Come This Year. Didnt really grip me. I dont know. Im sure some would find interest in it. It certainly reinforced my feeling its a hopeless war Americas fighting there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
