So because the producers couldnt get Soviet fighters to use in the movie, it becomes inaccurate?
At least on the F5's they used the right color of red to use on the stars.

F-5 Tigers being called Mig-28s which also never exsisted.

I don't see that as inaccurate. That is a realistic production decision. The false MiG moniker describes the faux MiG. It's obvious that they had to use actual jets. Would you prefer that they call the F-5's MiG 25's?
What alternatives would you offer? Which aggressor aircraft would you rather see?
If the studios are confined to using actual aircraft I suppose the bad guys could be flying Cessna 210's!

I believe it happened in the mid-80s gainst Libia. Old fashioned dogfight without missiles. Well, old fashioned because I think we shot them down in seconds but only with guns.
Symantics on the "accuracy"
I've heard many people scoff at the same facts that u pointed out.
The tank commander in "The Beast" told his crew he was a Stalingrad veteran.
Somehow, the age of this charchter wouldnt have added up to the age in real life if that had happened.
9th Company was pretty awful. As a war film it was sometimes enjoyable, but fighting scenes were just horrible. Mujahedeen fighters attack uphill against Russian 12.7mm gun emplacements without taking cover and shooting AK's without aiming a bit, a Russian slaughters half of them using a PKM with one hand...
Yeah, I remember doing the same thing. I came up with an age somewhere in the 55ish years old area. And that is if he were 14 at Stalingrad.
