![The Attackers (Fighter Pilots) / Istrebiteli [English Subtites]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51dBE2lgZ5L.jpg)
World War II. Young pilots, Leonid and Boris arrive at military air training school only to find that they have been enlisted to an air regiment and will be going soon to the frontline. Unfortunately the young pilots fail in their first mission. Instead of covering the Soviet attacker planes, Leonid gushes from his formation to attack the German Messerschmitts. This causes a breach in the defensive formation and, deprived of protection, the attacker planes come under fire from the German fighters and everyone is killed. Back on the ground Leonid and Boris are sent to the division's headquarters where they are to be tried and executed. On their way to the place of execution, however, the commander of the attacker wing arrives at the military airfield and petitions personally for their release. Our heroes are given one last chance. Now they become attackers and will have to show responsibility and courage every moment of their service and execute the most complex of orders without hesitation or fear for their own lives.

Russian Aviation in WW 2
I saw Attackers season one before this and was familiar with some of the characters. Season two and season three show up on some listings but do not seem to be available from Amazon Prime. I thought the acting was good and the photography was great, especially for air combat scenes. The translation was only fair with some obvious words and ideas that were not translated properly. I am still wondering how they intend to install a "50 ton bomb" on a WW 2 era fighter aircraft. LOL When the planes hit the earth, they "crush" instead of "crash" but the translation is close enough that the viewer can enjoy the plot. Only in a Russian movie could the leading man have three beautiful women in love with him while he walks around looking like he is considering suicide! The occasional references to religion surprised me in a Russian movie. Several of the characters crossed themselves and a major character received baptism from a priest. I enjoyed the Attackers Season One and this series and wish I could find season two and season three.

Excellent flying sequences
Epic tale of the lives of a front-line combat fighter unit in WWII. All the drama. Excellent flying sequences. Well-cast and acted. Even though English-subtitled, the action and characters shine through.
