What happens

Indestructible (Russian: Несокрушимый, romanized: Nesokrushimyy) is a 2018 Russian war film directed by Konstantin Maksimov. It was developed under the working title Tankers (Russian: Танкисты, romanized: Tankisty). The film is based on the real story of the feat of the crew of a Soviet KV-1 tank under the command of Semyon Konovalov, which took part in an unequal battle on 13 July 1942, and destroyed 16 tanks, two armored vehicles and eight other vehicles from enemy forces in the area of the village of Nizhnemityakin, Tarasovsky District, Rostov Oblast. On 9 September 2018, a special private screening of the film for military personnel of the Tamanskaya and Kantemirov Divisions took place; the event took place on Tanker's Day. The film was released in Russia on 25 October 2018 by 20th Century Fox CIS. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
