It can take any shape and form...

like a harmless toy each of you

used to play with in boyhood.

Every one of you used to mold

little squirrels, little rabbits...

Yet, in fact, you're holding

a very powerful and effective weapon!

A plastic explosive!

- Or, plastique, for short.

- Stas!

It has its own chemical formula

but you do not need to know this.

Plastique is an irreplaceable thing.

Therefore it is an important

piece of ammo of every paratrooper.

The question is why?

First, when it's not in the active state...

it is absolutely safe, easy to store,

and always handy.

As they say, it doesn't stretch your pocket.

But in action, it is extremely effective

and exerts enormous destructive power.

But you got to have skills

to properly use it.

Specifically... Warrior.

There are two simple rules

you must know...

First, the harder you squeeze it,

the bigger the explosion.

Rule number two.

Don't stick it everywhere!

But by itself this thing won't work...

- For it to blow we need what?

- A detonator.

Exactly. We need to insert a detonator.

- Your name, Soldier?

- Private Petrovsky!

You're screwed, Soldier.

I'll have to report this to your Commander.

Yes.

- Comrade Lieutenant, Private Petrovsky.

- Come on in.

Well molded, very true to life.

- You can paint, right?

- I did study painting.

- A portrait, this big?

- I could.

I... I got a letter from this girl...

We met before the war...

She wants my picture...

Should I send her this?

Can you, like... without... the scar?

Sure, but with paint, it won't be quick.

Will need more than one day.

Of course, I won't go

to see her after the war...

Just want her to keep writing...

Attention!

Go!

Them tractors, dammit.

Eat this!

Look!

He pissed his pants!

It's funny to you?

My bed is under his!

What, Sparrow, do I have

to sleep with an umbrella now?

I don't get it, Soldier.

Did you see anything?

- Nothing, Comrade First Lieutenant.

- And you?

My mistake, Comrade First Lieutenant.

Then tell me what's so funny?

I also want to share your joy.

You can swallow your snots,

call your mother, piss you pants...

...but you must accomplish your mission!

Die but get it done! And he did.

About, face. March.

Some basic knowledge on how

to communicate with the locals...

you'll get from this handbook.

But...

the main thing you should remember

when you cross the border...

is that you are in a Muslim country.

Islam is not merely another religion.

It's a different world with its own laws.

It's a different notion of life and death.

A true Muslim isn't afraid to die in battle.

And when he dies fighting the infidel, that is...

us...

he instantly gets in paradise...
