The Airstan incident was an international incident involving Russia and the Taliban of Afghanistan in 1995 and 1996. On 3 August 1995, Taliban-controlled fighter aircraft intercepted an Airstan Ilyushin Il-76TD transport aircraft, with seven Russian nationals on board, forcing it to land at Taliban-occupied Kandahar International Airport. The men were held prisoner for over a year before making their escape; after overpowering their captors they re-possessed their aircraft, flying it to freedom.
This happened in 1996 when taliban took control on kandahar that was the last soviet cargo plane in kandahar when taliban chased it by mig 21 .......that's the real story
For people who say this isn't a real story: In that time Afghanistan had only two pilots, one on vacation and the other (the Mig-21 pilot) was the only available and it got previously trained by the CCCP itself and after that quitted and joined Talibans.
That MiG looked like one of the trainer variants Note the two seats and guy in back at 1:39. Small nosecone compared to the bis, Missiles were IR seekers judging by the black tips for the IR sensors. At 2:37 he was pulling the trigger for guns though which is weird. I'm pretty sure pretty much all MiG-21's carry an internal (but earlier externally mounted) GSh-23 cannon. Was in perfect range for a guns kill.
@@chr0min0id It's the MD. The TD is the civil version. There are MD's converted into the civil TD by removing all military equipment. But you can still see that the turrets cabin is still there.
Funny, in those cockpit shots of the Taliban pulling the trigger, the RPM gauge is on zero, the fuel gauge is on zero and all of the electrical switches that can be seen are off... Seems like they used one on the ground.
He pulled trigger for GUNS. Button for missile release is on the left side of the stick. I believe it is not possible to launch missile in nowhere in MiG-21. You need to lock something with radar or have lock signal from IR missile.
The film is based on real events. After spending one year in captivity in Taliban Russian pilots stole a plane IL-76 and flew to the United Arab Emirates. Navigator only one who said only one sentence full of meaning "Commander, he had fuel for 40 minutes"
People laughing at the "Taliban Airforce", Afghanistan during the time of President Najibullah had a strong army and air force. Equipped with Soviet fighter jets, when Taliban took over, most of those Russian trained pilots were forced to go to Pakistan and reconvert to Islam (become radicalized) so they could fly those planes against the Northern Alliance. Yes they had an airforce and real military.
OMG !! That's really awesome scene. It shows the truth in an accurate manner. I've heard about the Airstan incident of 1995 but I've not seen this movie. I can feel the tension and anxiety of that IL-76 crew. BTW that Mig 21 pilots looks like as if an Orang-utan is flying the plane !!!
Speedbird First of all u cant call me snow white because I'am a man and secondly I believe that I've a full right to make fun of him because he is a Taliban. Those Taliban guys are like wolves inside human bodies. I dont hate Afghan people but I hate Taliban and Iwill make fun of them..!!
Well they didn't really steal it. They were given to the previous Communist government of Afghanistan by the Soviets, but the Taliban won the civil war in the early 90s and the air force defected to their side.
At the time Afghanistan was controlled by the Taliban government and it was called Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. These planes were given to the Socialist Afghan government during the Soviet Invasion but after they left the Armed forces completely fell apart, the Taliban got hold of a lot of the Soviet jets to the subsequent fight the civil war
Hahaha Pakistan air force helping very funny. Pakistan air force is top professional they don't joke like this. Pakistan air force surprised Isreal and US aircraft carrier. World record by hitting 5 endia hunters in 30 seconds.
La historia es impresionante !!! Me ha sorprendido el hecho de que los talibanes tenían pilotos de caza, pero luego he encontrado el documental entero sobre el caso. Ahí el piloto talibán sale con su rango y nombre. Aunque eran amigos él debía disparar, cumplía ordenes...Además los talibanes tenían secuestrados su mujer y sus hijos. Os recomiendo el documental en ruso, es más impresionante que la película. Un saludo.
Mig-21 trainer, a UB i think they call them you can see the second pilot hatch when the mig tips abit when first contact @1.38 the su22 has a swing wing that is a delta main wing of mig-21...i have built enough model kits of them to know the difference. Looks an su22 in parts due to the "animation"
this part where they got escorted by a MIG-21, was actually a real accident, it was called "Airstan incident" which was in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airstan_incident
And like always Americans wanted their version. So they happily gifted Taliban their aircrafts, vehicles and helicopters. How sweet 🥲, I'm sure it'll release in theatres soon.
No, I was correct, because I saw this film in normal format and all was OK. I ment that the MiG looked "squished", not small. And I am aware of how small MiG-21 is - one is standing in a local museum nearby.
Are you mad son?, the Su 17 has variable sweep wings and longer fuselage... This one has a delta wing configuration and short fuselage, hence it being the mig21.
These pilot were trained by Soviet union and when taliban captured kandhar some pilots joined taliban and they also captured migs stationed at kandhar air base and also mi 24 helicopters
I really don't know which version of MiG 21 they were having. But this is trainer aircraft and as far as I can remember, Control stick buttons are not same as in fighter. Any clue ?
If u are flying with mig21um u do not have to copilot because it is kore like trainer version and copilot will don nothing because he cannot do things... He will just sitting in plane...
Google Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. It was backed by the USSR and it had plenty of pilots trained by the Soviets. That MiG pilot was one of them.
Proud on Pakistani pilots whom took down many russin jets and planes during the war in Afghanistan And afghanis thinking they won the war by themselves If Pakistan and USA wasn’t involving in war Afghanistan was apart of Russia 🇷🇺
Haider Khan all of them are unfaithful They forget whom saved and life’s when Russians were killing every collor and race It was pakistani army whom were fighting back Russians in many ways I don’t know about other country’s but if Afghanistan wants to start a war with Pakistan 🇵🇰 They will be dead in seconds Just two atom bombs One in Kabul another in kandahar
Afghans not anti Pakistan it's pro Indian northern alliance just remeber that and don't fall for trap of Indians with fake profiles pretending to be afghans.

yeah lmao, at the first I thought, "How do these bastards get such jets, is it an Aladdin carpet or what ?"

Hi
The Animation of the IL 76 is realistic, but the MIG 21 looks stubby,funny and compressed
Frank Man Just like my ex.
NKVD Comrade Orion cold
Look fattttt
Film was uploaded in incorrect aspect ratio. If you notice, the actors' faces are equally "compressed."
Frank Man That’s just a video format issue
This happened in 1996 when taliban took control on kandahar that was the last soviet cargo plane in kandahar when taliban chased it by mig 21 .......that's the real story
Keep dreaming, Taliban ain't smart enough to fly that plane LMFAO!! Ur funny dude, real funny.

+alex3373 wow you're dumb
alex3373 They took over a country.

Didn´t think so.
So the Taliban accomplished much more then you did.

I love these Russian movies so organic. Not like those stupid over-acting Hollywood war movies
For them it's literally cheaper to rent the real equipment than to make props and fake visuals, that's why they look more realistic.
Say what? I rather go to my dentist they're very boring what can I say i been watching Russian movies in Cuba since I was a kid.
Uh huh, this movie is typical Hollywood style trash.
Who told you to watch Hollywood movie and complain ... most of like us love russian movie
Somebody from Hollwood help made This Movie. 😄😄😄😄😄
I'm surprised they actually managed to get those MIGs in the air

It's a MiG-21UM. It doesn't carry a radar, doesn't carry a cannon and has only one hard point under each wing. Very weird mix in the movie.
*And it was at that moment: the Russians wished they had the TD variant*
@@sanjaydubey9973 It has a machine gun turret lol
I was thinking the same
@@chr0min0id It's the MD. The TD is the civil version.
There are MD's converted into the civil TD by removing all military equipment. But you can still see that the turrets cabin is still there.

He pulled trigger for GUNS.
Button for missile release is on the left side of the stick.
I believe it is not possible to launch missile in nowhere in MiG-21. You need to lock something with radar or have lock signal from IR missile.
I recal that there was an Launch override buton? Anyways, its just a movie.
+Tomasz Pęcak override button is on front panel behind stick under cover...
that is an emergency override. IIRC it wont actually trigger guidance systems.
He already edit button configuration in setting before playing.(^^)
Mig21as and any other russian fighter have trigger for emergency uncontrol missle launch, it located in many gun panel near main gun trigger

@@lawrenicium9460 he literally has a beard tho
@@ComandanteTresLetrasJGL Then the film is not realistic or the pilot didn't take training. You can't wear that mask properly with a bears like that.
Or it is simply because they're taliban. Where they consider beard is sacred, as it is a good merit in Islam.
The Taliban has an Air Force? You learn something new every day.

Captured MiG I think
You had no idea how your joke would be ironic in 2021 :-)
@@HBMPaladin Heheh. History eventually catches up with a lot of jokes.
This doesn't look like a fighterplane... more like a Badass Missile !!!
0:45, Aleksandr Baluev, for those who may remember, he was also in the movie The Peacemaker with George Clooney and Nicole Kidman.
It’s is most likely that the taliban pilot was a defector of the former Afghan airforce.
At the time Afghanistan was controlled by the Taliban government and it was called Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. These planes were given to the Socialist Afghan government during the Soviet Invasion but after they left the Armed forces completely fell apart, the Taliban got hold of a lot of the Soviet jets to the subsequent fight the civil war

@@tesoridellasia agree with you . This clip is joke .
There were even some Taliban Mig29!
This is SUCH a good movie!!!
One of the great russian movie
2:23 the other person spoke Ukrainian if anyone wonders
This is why the US did *not* sell Afghanistan fighter jets this time
When the Taliban took over Afghanistan there must have been lots of Russian airplanes left to capture.
No less than twenty, although they don't have much parts.

It´s good but classic MiG-21U/UM never had four hardpoints on wings, only two.
I am aware of that, the double cockpit is clearly visible. It was the weird ratio that made it look "squished".
If only they had the gunner version
Very intresting Russian movie, is it available in English translation or with english subtitle?
do talibani even know how to fly a aircraft
I didn't know Taliban had their own airforce
They have strongest air force in the world.
If they have enough money to buy thousand of Aks and RPGs, then....yes...they can buy something more expensive :))
Yes if you call a few 50 years old planes an air force
look at his hipster beard looking out of the oxy-mask.. mann o mann was´n grobzeug.
this part where they got escorted by a MIG-21, was actually a real accident, it was called "Airstan incident" which was in Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airstan_incident
What more badss is the Russian escape
Why he shots two missiles in that distance. Ussualy the fighter shots few round from the gun to attract pilot attention but not the AA missile.
And like always Americans wanted their version. So they happily gifted Taliban their aircrafts, vehicles and helicopters. How sweet 🥲, I'm sure it'll release in theatres soon.
Just out of curiosity, The alarm that goes off when the MiG 21 intercepts the Russian plane is a TCAS?
The weirdest thing about this clip is seeing the fighter pilot with a full-on patrisrch beard under his mask.
As far as I heard ..Taliban had airforce with skill pilots, when America start war against Taliban they destroyed all these aircrafts.
aren't you one of them?
Who taliban was operate to understand such complicated technology my friend. This was not possible with some external help
No, I was correct, because I saw this film in normal format and all was OK. I ment that the MiG looked "squished", not small. And I am aware of how small MiG-21 is - one is standing in a local museum nearby.
TALİBAN PERFORMANS SUPER MAŞALLAH.........
Maybe you should invite Taliban to form a government in Turkey.
Anymore of russian aircraft movies? What an awesome sight able to see the deck while fyling in an IL76

Вообще это фильм. Но на самом деле ситуация была адовая особенно в конце. И для многих написавших на английском...там не было Рэмбо в итоге.
