Someone pitched a movie where a brigade of the US army somehow got trapped in say Croatia during the peak of the Roman Empire. They’d have all their guns and modern equipment but no ability to get more ammo or supplies once they were out.
Sounded like a cool idea but nothing ever came of it.

The Final Countdown has an aircraft carrier go back in time at Pearl Harbor, but they don't wind up intervening (except for knocking out a couple of Japanese planes strafing a civilian boat)

From what I've read of the movie they play it out more like a Twilight Zone scenario where the focus is on 'wtf is going on' and 'what are the ethics/consequences of intervening' which would be fine for a show like The Twilight Zone (or even Star Trek) but in the context of a big-budget blockbuster seems like a cock tease.

Fuck Russia but this is a low IQ take; both sides are using plenty of outdated stuff, especially irregular units and rear echelon things. And it's not like a T-34/85 is a *bad* tank, it's just out of date.
What's more damning is that Russian Wunderwaffe aren't up to snuff.
