In reply to the discussion: Anybody up for a Friday-night drinking thread? [View all]Aristus

A film about Russian tank crewmen in Afghanistan. It came out in 1988. I went to tanker school in 1989 and managed to convince my drill sergeant to screen the film for the other trainees. It showed a genuine Russian-built T-55 tank up close and personal, which was good for tank recognition training. (This was in the days before YouTube, when you could access thousands of videos about tank of every conceivable model.)
