I can't even recall the countless kick butt Soviet forces vs Afghani movies made in Russia. It was a painful war for the Soviets. Of course the insurgent mujahadeen were backed by the United States, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, and the United Kingdom and I don't recall who else... the conflict was a perfect example of Cold War-era proxy war. In any case, the movies are deep, powerful and leave an impact just as The Outpost did on me.
