It's on Amazon Prime, you'll have to search for it. It's spelled "Afgan" and that's all it's called. It was filmed by an American crew in the 80's while USSR was still over there. What's interesting is it's the SAME crew that embedded with Mujahadeen just the year prior.
In short, the Soviets say the SAME thing our soldiers say. This was during the Cold War but if you watch this film and you're a soldier, you'd feel right at home with these guys!
The only part that gives away any of the anxiety of the times was when a Spetsnaz soldier told them that "we know you were here with Mujahadeen last year and if we'd stopped your armed convoy we'd have handed you over to the People's Army and if you'd resisted, we'd have eliminated you".
Anyway, this film shows why it's a lost cause. Listen to how the soldiers describe the fanatics. And remember that during all this, we were arming those motherfuckers just to draw USSR into "their Vietnam".
