Fun fact : Those T72 tanks were filmed in czechia, and later sold to Libya, from where united states bought them back in late 2022, sent them for refurbishment back to czechia, and later send to defend Ukraine from which it once came. So bunch of those you're seeing on this vid are now on the battlefield.
Fun Fact: the producers wanted Nic Cage to act, but they discovered it was actually cheaper to collapse the Soviet economy and then start a small African war
According to writer and director Andrew Niccol, the filmmakers worked with actual gunrunners in the making of this movie. The tanks lined up for sale were real, and belonged to a Czech arms dealer, who had to have them back to sell to another country. They used a real stockpile of over three thousand AK-47s, because it was cheaper than getting prop guns.
Before shooting the scene where tanks were lined up for sale, the filmmakers had to warn N.A.T.O., lest they thought a real war was being started when they saw satellite images of the set.
Not real AK-47s, at least not Soviet/ Russian most of the weapons in those racks are actually Czech VZ 58's since someone decided for some reason that they were easier to aquire.

Those rifle in the bunker were all VZ-58 rifles. No relation to the AK-47 except they fire the same round and you can exchange muzzle breaks. The VZ-58 is a Czech made rifle and it's very popular and reliable. Some would argue an improvement over the AK platform but they are very different rifle. You can tell it's a VZ-58 because of the Bakelite stocks that are barely visible. And they are all REAL rifles. It was cheaper to use real weapons than make a bunch of fakes. Personally, I'd prefer an AK but if I was introduced to an armory of VZ-58's, I'd be happy.
This was based on the Merchant of death. An Ethnic Ukrainian as well. We traded him to RUssia for a female basketball player. If you guys don't know what happened. Somehow, weapons we sent to Ukraine , in the war with RUssia ended up in the hands of our enemy and sold in the black market as well. It's like a Ukrainian gun runner used some old contacts and had weapons stolen and sent to attack us indirectly.
@2:10 the joke here is that this kid just went full Ukrainian. He wasnt joking or lying. He could also fix that rotor with cannibalized parts from a UAZ jeep in 20 minutes if he had to. 😅😅😅
This scene illustrates why Russian is failing so hard in Ukraine. The soldiers sold off all sorts of vital equipment, even the copper wiring from a lot of their vehicles. The things not stolen or stripped for parts were simply not maintained.
Yes, but over time those deficiencies seem to be getting corrected. The Germans were able to sweep aside the Soviet armies in 1941 and 1942, but during 1943, things changed. Yes, Western-provided equipment played a part of that, but changes to Soviet industry and military operations were more important. When joining the military is viewed as only for the stupid and lazy, you get a corrupt and ineffective military. Assuming oil sales don't get cut off, I think the Russian military will be a much more capable organization in 2025 than it was when it stumbled into Ukraine last year.
@@jackuzi8252 The old Soviets were a hell of a lot more powerful than modern Russia. They could actually design and build reasonably good war machines and crank them out in vast numbers. They were also the defender for much of the war against a nation fighting a 3 front conflict.

That's very little relative to the world economy. Much less than 50, 100, or 500 years ago. Ukraine has been selling arms for 25 years and investing that money for social needs. We gave up nuclear weapons at the request of the US. Do you want to repeat that? Do you think it was logical? Well, then start learning Chinese so you can beg for mercy.
From 1918 until the fall of the Iron Curtain, the USSR had the approval of Wall Street. I suppose that in the gun trafficking, it also has their approval.
The USA invaded Russia in 1918 to fight the Bolsheviks even before the USSR was formed in 1922. Wall Street's most hated enemy was always the USSR. Wall Street backed Nazi Germany which was seen as a weapon against the USSR. Chamberlain had this view for example. Western powers except France also supported fascists in Spain. Nazi Germany hated the USSR more than any other country, calling it ruled by Jews and working to eliminate the entire Slavic race, which was not seen as "Aryan"/white but Jewish puppets. Britain was forced to fight the Nazis after they invaded Poland, betraying the Polish-Nazi Non Aggression Pact. After WWII, Wall Street wanted WWIII against the USSR, and Churchill drew up plans to invade the USSR but these were found to be impossible. The CIA funded opposition groups against the USSR including Radio Free Europe propaganda and Stepan Bandera, a Ukrainian Nazi-aligned warlord who had committed ethnic cleansing against Poles during WWII. Gun trafficking is carried out by capitalists who destroyed the USSR and sold out the country. Learn history.
@@wabc2336 Both Hegel and Marx were financed by the same guy. Marx edited his work in England. Trotzky married the daughter of a close associate of the Warburg Bankers of New York, which made him the most influential revolutionary in Russia at the time... and Lenin's armored train full of gold and weapons was courtesy of the "terrible European capitalist banks" they hated so much. Against a provisional government in middle of a constituent assembly in October, since the Tsar abdicated in March and in the winter palace the parliament was now assembled. It was the big bankers who financed the Bolshevik coup d'état... with the murderous Chekists, churches dinamitators... just as in a distant time to the Jacobins of the guillotines... to destroy Christian Russia. They did not succeed. People were still being baptized in cellars. They could not and will never be able to destroy our faith. As early as Napoleon's (another of his agents who, together with the "revolutionaries" of Spanish America, allowed the implosion of the Spanish Empire, another historical enemy) time some swore revenge on Russia for not agreeing to forge a "world government" back then. This revenge materializes with the assassination of the Romanovs. Of course... along came Stalin and purged several. I do not defend him to the hilt, but he did enough to prevent Russia from being destroyed. And I really think that nowadays the figure of Stalin is demonized so much, because before being a communist, he was a Russian. Perhaps in the style of Vlad the Impaler (better to be feared than loved) I do not argue or defend him... but surely without him it would have been worse.
@@wabc2336 And of course I agree with you about the bank financing H1tler... Wall St... and perhaps the Bank of England as well. Left and right were the bourgeoisie's answer to manipulate the masses angered by the overcrowding and exploitation of the industrial revolution... to manipulate them and steer them in the direction they wanted, for the sake of their interests... in addition to exterminating them with wars, of course. "The fewer the better" is an overriding rule for them, even today. It is crucial for their subsistence... if one day "the riffraff" were to find out what these perverse guys really do... they would surely kill them worse than Mussolin1. H1tler, without the hydrogenization of coal, ceded by Standard Oil to IG Farben, synthetic fuel... the famous Blitzkrieg of the early years, I risk, would have been impossible. Not to mention the protestant vote, which brought him to power.

Too bad they couldn't get even the most basic modern history right. "The day afer the Wall came down..." Listen, I wasn't alive when it happened, but this movie is pretty old, less than 15 years after the USSR, so they should be able to remember that the USSR and the fall of the Berlin Wall happened THREE YEARS APART! Honestly, it's little things like this that piss me off about this movie, it's pretty decent otherwise but has SO many plotholes I can't even suspend my disbelief.
Pretty sure when they mention “the wall”, they’re referring to the “iron curtain” and not the Berlin Wall…. It’s actually common parlance to mention “the wall” in reference to the iron curtain and also use “the wall” as reference to the Berlin Wall…. Isn’t English fun! 😂
Right, and Ukraine wasn't of military importance during the Cold War. To say the Soviets stationed troops there is weird, because Ukraine was Soviet, part of the USSR, unlike say East Germany. The troops came from Ukraine and the bases were indigenous. In East Germany, Soviet troops were foreign. In 1989 non-Soviet countries and the Baltics fell to capitalism and Ukraine was now a border state of the USSR, but there wasn't a great military hostility against the West, because the Soviet leaders like Gorbachev were the very ones who would soon dissolve the USSR. (Gorby's plan was to make the USSR capitalist but he was still pro West, and after the August 1991 coup attempt, he handed power to Yeltsin the new Tsar.)
Few are the people who understand the propaganda of this scene nowadays. It’s a testament to capitalism’s merits that some semblance of it still stands under such prolonged, unrelenting attacks.

Overall I think your talking out your ass because if you’ve seen footage and watched documentaries from the actual tank crews who know what their doing and what can hit them without them worrying about it then you’d know that western tanks are better also you mentioned China which that country has absolutely no credibility as they copy designs from every country especially the US as they have no minds of ideas of their own and south Korea are not much better as their tank designs are based of M1 Abram’s designs atleast with Australia Egypt and South Africa they just buy M1 Abram’s as it’s better and cheaper then to come up with their own shitty designs
The Mi-24 is fast but not very maneuverable. It had an issue where the main rotor would hit the tail boom if the helicopter climbed too quickly. It also has no night-vision, unlike the AH-64.

When life gives you AK's, you sell AK's to savages.
Those rifle in the bunker were all VZ-58 rifles. No relation to the AK-47 except they fire the same round and you can exchange muzzle breaks. The VZ-58 is a Czech made rifle and it's very popular and reliable. Some would argue an improvement over the AK platform but they are very different rifle. You can tell it's a VZ-58 because of the Bakelite stocks that are barely visible. And they are all REAL rifles. It was cheaper to use real weapons than make a bunch of fakes.
Personally, I'd prefer an AK but if I was introduced to an armory of VZ-58's, I'd be happy.
Yeah, and this scene was filmed around Czechia so yeah
1:39 That's a great businessman right there XD
He's pretty impressive.
This was based on the Merchant of death. An Ethnic Ukrainian as well. We traded him to RUssia for a female basketball player. If you guys don't know what happened. Somehow, weapons we sent to Ukraine , in the war with RUssia ended up in the hands of our enemy and sold in the black market as well.
It's like a Ukrainian gun runner used some old contacts and had weapons stolen and sent to attack us indirectly.
It’s hilarious how Yanks assume everyone is a Yank. “We traded” you make up around 5-6% of the population. You reek of arrogance.

This scene illustrates why Russian is failing so hard in Ukraine. The soldiers sold off all sorts of vital equipment, even the copper wiring from a lot of their vehicles. The things not stolen or stripped for parts were simply not maintained.
Yes, but over time those deficiencies seem to be getting corrected. The Germans were able to sweep aside the Soviet armies in 1941 and 1942, but during 1943, things changed. Yes, Western-provided equipment played a part of that, but changes to Soviet industry and military operations were more important. When joining the military is viewed as only for the stupid and lazy, you get a corrupt and ineffective military. Assuming oil sales don't get cut off, I think the Russian military will be a much more capable organization in 2025 than it was when it stumbled into Ukraine last year.
@@jackuzi8252 The old Soviets were a hell of a lot more powerful than modern Russia. They could actually design and build reasonably good war machines and crank them out in vast numbers. They were also the defender for much of the war against a nation fighting a 3 front conflict.
@@Elthenar That's your belief. Come back in 2 years and we'll discuss.
One of many reasons. Not all Russians like Putin either or dying for his glory he oppressed his own people too as Hitler did and his own military turned on him eventually also.

That’s if they don’t run out of men to draft, Putin will be pushing it with another draft call
this movie, a crash course in history.
What is all this talk of traded for a basket ball player?
The real life person the main character in this movie was based off was traded in a prisoner exchange with Russia for a wnba player who was arrested for having on them a substance that was illegal in Russia. There’s more to the story but that’s the short of it

40k guns for a battalion lol
a battalion is usuall around 1k men. each man need 40 replacement guns? a brigade is around 5000 soldiers. this could supply a division of around 25, 000 men.
one division is 5 brigades or 25 battalions

today read 2.4 trillion USDs spending for weapons for 2023.
Just imagine what people could do with this amount of wealth if only a little bit of logic prevailed.
Often it's a necessary evil. Not all countries are blessed with only having peaceful neighbours
@@Duke_of_Lorraine This isn't one of those times. Stop trying to rationalize shitty spending habits, nonsense like yours is why things don't improve.
That's very little relative to the world economy. Much less than 50, 100, or 500 years ago. Ukraine has been selling arms for 25 years and investing that money for social needs. We gave up nuclear weapons at the request of the US. Do you want to repeat that? Do you think it was logical? Well, then start learning Chinese so you can beg for mercy.
From 1918 until the fall of the Iron Curtain, the USSR had the approval of Wall Street.
I suppose that in the gun trafficking, it also has their approval.
The USA invaded Russia in 1918 to fight the Bolsheviks even before the USSR was formed in 1922. Wall Street's most hated enemy was always the USSR. Wall Street backed Nazi Germany which was seen as a weapon against the USSR. Chamberlain had this view for example. Western powers except France also supported fascists in Spain. Nazi Germany hated the USSR more than any other country, calling it ruled by Jews and working to eliminate the entire Slavic race, which was not seen as "Aryan"/white but Jewish puppets. Britain was forced to fight the Nazis after they invaded Poland, betraying the Polish-Nazi Non Aggression Pact. After WWII, Wall Street wanted WWIII against the USSR, and Churchill drew up plans to invade the USSR but these were found to be impossible. The CIA funded opposition groups against the USSR including Radio Free Europe propaganda and Stepan Bandera, a Ukrainian Nazi-aligned warlord who had committed ethnic cleansing against Poles during WWII. Gun trafficking is carried out by capitalists who destroyed the USSR and sold out the country.
Learn history.

Both Hegel and Marx were financed by the same guy. Marx edited his work in England. Trotzky married the daughter of a close associate of the Warburg Bankers of New York, which made him the most influential revolutionary in Russia at the time... and Lenin's armored train full of gold and weapons was courtesy of the "terrible European capitalist banks" they hated so much. Against a provisional government in middle of a constituent assembly in October, since the Tsar abdicated in March and in the winter palace the parliament was now assembled.
It was the big bankers who financed the Bolshevik coup d'état... with the murderous Chekists, churches dinamitators... just as in a distant time to the Jacobins of the guillotines... to destroy Christian Russia.
They did not succeed. People were still being baptized in cellars. They could not and will never be able to destroy our faith.
As early as Napoleon's (another of his agents who, together with the "revolutionaries" of Spanish America, allowed the implosion of the Spanish Empire, another historical enemy) time some swore revenge on Russia for not agreeing to forge a "world government" back then. This revenge materializes with the assassination of the Romanovs.
Of course... along came Stalin and purged several. I do not defend him to the hilt, but he did enough to prevent Russia from being destroyed.
And I really think that nowadays the figure of Stalin is demonized so much, because before being a communist, he was a Russian. Perhaps in the style of Vlad the Impaler (better to be feared than loved) I do not argue or defend him... but surely without him it would have been worse.
@@wabc2336 And of course I agree with you about the bank financing H1tler... Wall St... and perhaps the Bank of England as well.
Left and right were the bourgeoisie's answer to manipulate the masses angered by the overcrowding and exploitation of the industrial revolution... to manipulate them and steer them in the direction they wanted, for the sake of their interests... in addition to exterminating them with wars, of course.
"The fewer the better" is an overriding rule for them, even today. It is crucial for their subsistence... if one day "the riffraff" were to find out what these perverse guys really do... they would surely kill them worse than Mussolin1.
H1tler, without the hydrogenization of coal, ceded by Standard Oil to IG Farben, synthetic fuel... the famous Blitzkrieg of the early years, I risk, would have been impossible.
Not to mention the protestant vote, which brought him to power.
@@wabc2336
In short... everything is done for a single purpose. Not to sell weapons or make money. Power, control... and killing people.
We must not fall into Hegelian dichotomies.
If you creates the thesis and in turn the antithesis, the clash of these will result in something that you also foresee.
This is how these people act.
@@wabc2336 So you're saying capitalism destroyed one of the most evil regimes in history?

Too bad they couldn't get even the most basic modern history right. "The day afer the Wall came down..." Listen, I wasn't alive when it happened, but this movie is pretty old, less than 15 years after the USSR, so they should be able to remember that the USSR and the fall of the Berlin Wall happened THREE YEARS APART!
Honestly, it's little things like this that piss me off about this movie, it's pretty decent otherwise but has SO many plotholes I can't even suspend my disbelief.
Pretty sure when they mention “the wall”, they’re referring to the “iron curtain” and not the Berlin Wall…. It’s actually common parlance to mention “the wall” in reference to the iron curtain and also use “the wall” as reference to the Berlin Wall…. Isn’t English fun! 😂
Right, and Ukraine wasn't of military importance during the Cold War. To say the Soviets stationed troops there is weird, because Ukraine was Soviet, part of the USSR, unlike say East Germany. The troops came from Ukraine and the bases were indigenous. In East Germany, Soviet troops were foreign. In 1989 non-Soviet countries and the Baltics fell to capitalism and Ukraine was now a border state of the USSR, but there wasn't a great military hostility against the West, because the Soviet leaders like Gorbachev were the very ones who would soon dissolve the USSR. (Gorby's plan was to make the USSR capitalist but he was still pro West, and after the August 1991 coup attempt, he handed power to Yeltsin the new Tsar.)
Keep whining nerd. It’s a fictional movie loosely based on real events, not a documentary. You must be fun to be around
Few are the people who understand the propaganda of this scene nowadays. It’s a testament to capitalism’s merits that some semblance of it still stands under such prolonged, unrelenting attacks.
What? Capitalisms merits? This is a movie about gun runners getting rich quick by selling shiploads of weapons to tyrants.
imagine being a capitalist unironically in the twenty-first century 🤓
This scene and Nicholas Cage were paid for by the CIA to promote capitalism
@@hotelmario510 there's never been and there will never be a more moral system than the voluntary exchange of goods and services. Deviation is immoral. It's simple logic.
