Is it "Podolsk cadets" / "Подольские курсанты" (2020)?

Best comment for that:

"Little do people know that slow motion was very important in stalling the German Blitzkrieg."

Looks more like a War Game Trailer than a movie...

I do highly recommend The Forgotten Battle on Netflix.

The Forgotten Battle is my list. I heard of The Final Stand but have not seen it. The Russians turned out a few great 'Great Patriotic War' movies that the west rarely saw.

In my opinion, this is a bit of an artificial movie.
Both sides have nice looking tanks and guns and new clean uniforms. It really looks like a trailer for a PC strategy.
There are old Soviet movies that are much more realistic and tough, although not as nice looking.
But the main thing is that even this "nice" movie reflects the courage of the Russians who stopped the Blitzkrieg near Moscow.

By the trailer it looks the typical movie where Germans are certified and patented idiots that somehow had immense numbers, extreme invincible might and posse, that ultimately reveals itself very vincible, stoppable, etcetera.

Long gone are the days of movies like 'A bridge too far' or 'The longest day'.

With rare exceptions modern movies are too stupid (imho). So I prefer to watch trailers like these:
Main Road|Post "Stalingrad" VFX reel ' 2013
Polina Gagarina - Kukushka (OST Battle for Sevastopol)
War Thunder - 'Victory is ours!'

May I recommend this excellent documentary series on the Eastern Front.
Probably the best WW2 documentary there is

Soviet Storm. WW2 in the East
