THE SERPENT RING

Based on true events

“I do not hate the Russians.
I do not hate the Mujahideen.
I hate what Afghanistan made of me.”

 

Afghanistan, 1987.

Two East German officer cadets are sent to Afghanistan to observe Soviet long-range reconnaissance units operating deep inside the war zone.

They are not supposed to fight.

 

But on the flight to a remote Soviet outpost, their helicopter is shot out of the sky by the Mujahideen.

Twentyone men were aboard.
Only five survive.
