The Detached Mission (Russian title: Odinochnoye plavanye) is a 1985 military thriller directed by Mikhail Tumanishvili. It tells the story of a group of Soviet marines who are tasked with stopping a rogue US officer from launching nuclear missiles that would cause an international crisis. The film is notable for being the only Soviet movie to ever show the two superpowers fighting each other. While originally touted to foreign audiences as being the Soviet version of Rambo: First Blood Part II, the film is more slow-paced and slightly less cartoonish in its depiction of the enemy.



The following weapons were used in the film The Detached Mission (Odinochnoye plavanye):







Pistols

Makarov PM

Major Shatokhin (Mikhail Nozhkin) and Starshi praporshchik (chief petty officer) Aleksandr Kruglov (Aleksandr Fatyushin) carry Makarov PM pistols. Shatokhin uses his PM when he lands on the island to search for the hidden US missile base, but drops it once he is surrounded by enemy soldiers.

Assault Rifles

AKS-47

The standard rifle of the Soviet marines is the AKS-47 rifle, as evidenced by the milled receiver and slab sided magazines. AKS-47s are used by two members of Major Shatokin's squad, Starshi praporshchik Kruglov (Aleksandr Fatyushin) and Pvt. Danilov (Sergey Nasibov) first during hand to hand combat training and later when the squad assaults the US missile base.

Sturmgewehr 44

Sturmgewehr 44 rifles, visually modified to resemble an Armalite rifle such as an AR-10 or an M16, are used by several rogue US soldiers. Such props are often seen in Soviet 1970s-1980s movies.
