Quotes:

Daskal: We're safe in here. My tanks have been hit by everything. In Mongolia once, RPG, direct hit. Commander, gunner and turret went flying. I drove the rest of the tank back to our lines. These tanks today are better. Much better.

Taj: [in Pashtun, to Koverchenko] Eat.::Sherina: [in Pashtun, to Koverchenko] Choke.

Daskal: [the tank is incapacitated. Daskal hands out a grenade to Kaminski and Golikov] You know our standing orders.::Kaminski: What?::Daskal: Out of commission, become a pillbox. Out of ammo, become a bunker. Out of time, become heroes.::Kaminski: You must be out of your fucking mind! [He tosses his grenade aside]::Daskal: Now. Together. [Daskal pulls the grenade pin]

Koverchenko: You're a good soldier Anton. You can be counted on when they ask you to shoot your mother.

Koverchenko: Well, sir, the roadwheel's cracked. Kaminski drank our brakes. We're low on petrol. The battery's low. We're losing oil. If the engine heats up it's gonna seize. The terrain, obviously against us. We have no rations. The Mujas behind us don't seem to run on rations, petrol, or anything we know of. And they have an RPG. Their aim is getting better. Sir.

Koverchenko: [to Daskal] Sorry, sir. Not much of a war. No Stalingrad. How is it that we're the Nazis this time? How is it? I tried to be a good soldier. But you can't be a good soldier in a rotten war, sir. Now I want you to live to see them win. Go. [shouts] I said go!

Daskal: Get back in the tank.::Kaminski: What for?::Daskal: Because I said so.::Golikov: We're going home, sir.::Daskal: Yeah. In the tank.::Kaminski: Why can't we go home in the fucking helicopter?::Daskal: Because you're tankers.

Helicopter pilot: Today's your lucky day. If we hadn't been out here looking for water we wouldn't have found you guys. Go ahead and climb aboard, I'll call in an airstrike on the tank.::Daskal: Nobody wastes my tank...

[Koverchenko and Daskal are in the tank removing a dud shell from the cannon breech]::Daskal: Just tell me one thing; why do you stick up for the Afghan?::Koverchenko: Because he's doing the best he can, sir.::Daskal: That's what worries me. [he then opens the cannon breech as the dud shell falls out into Koverchenko's arms]

[Golikov and Kaminski are walking back to the tank carrying fuel cans from the helicopter as Daskal watches them from behind the tank's machine gun]::Golikov: What are we doing? Why don't we make a run for it?::Kaminski: Are you crazy? He'd shoot us right out of the sky!
