Unrealistic in the extreme. A tank in a modern army, possessed of satellite communication, being chased through the desert and that army seemingly pretending it didn't exist.
The acting it must be said, is not bad, and the hero receives some real character development. The point of the movie is also compelling enough - war is evil.
The film's insistence on demonizing the Soviets and employing them as a force of pure evil makes this a rather bad source of information on Afghanistan.
A well made piece of Cold-War trash in my opinion. Watch it if you like, but get your history somewhere else.
