I saw this film (not voluntarily mind you), It was not that
great. It took some potshot attack on right wingers but one thing REALLY bothered me....

MINOR SPOILERS when they showed a sequence when “Russian” choppers and planes get shot down. They were not Russian planes at all.

However they showed and I am not kidding an F-4 Phantom
an A-6 Intruder and an F-16C Fighting falcon (1 of the most reconizable planes in history mind you) getting blown up I even saw a Huey
(you know our chopper of the Vietnam War). Cant they tell our planes from the Soviets without Dale Dye’s or DOD’s help??!!

THat is my take however.

Well, operable American equipment is much more available to Hollywood than the Russian.

IIRC, the German panzers in Patton were, ironically, Patton tanks.
