Sergeant

Sergeant Shlykov is training young men he will have to fight alongside in Afghanistan. He is meticulous and strict, because he knows that in war, any small detail can cost a life. On his first combat mission to defuse a mine, the sergeant, unwilling to put a young soldier in danger, sends him to get water. Shlykov is killed by a Dushman lying in ambush — and the guys suffer their first combat loss, which is impossible to come to terms with.
