Daskal (Tank Commander): Out of commission, become a pillbox. Out of ammo, become a bunker. Out of time, become heroes.

Koverchenko: Well, sir, the roadwheel's cracked. Kaminski drank our brakes. We're low on petrol. The battery's low. We're losing oil. If the engine heats up it's gonna seize. The terrain, obviously against us. We have no rations. The Mujas behind us don't seem to run on rations, petrol, or anything we know of. And they have an RPG. Their aim is getting better. Sir.

Hey Tank Boy!!! : )

Glad you have this movie.

Had a Furnace clean recently..it was a Russkie..and he had been in Afghanistan.

We had a great chat..he was very knowledgable about other nations military assets.
Asked him.."So what was it like to be sitting in a T-72 or BMP..all bottlenecked up in some Afghani canyon in the searing heat"?

I saw the look in his eyes...he had indeed been in Afghanistan.
he bounced back well after the question...cracked jokes about officers.: )
