Chechnya - Grozny Street Battles Intensify


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grozny_(1994%E2%80%9395)

The First Battle of Grozny[9] was the Russian Army's invasion and subsequent conquest of the Chechen capital, Grozny, during the early months of the First Chechen War. The attack lasted from December 1994 to March 1995, resulted in the military occupation of the city by the Russian Army and rallied most of the Chechen nation around the government of Dzhokhar Dudayev.

The initial assault resulted in very high Russian Army casualties and an almost complete breakdown of morale in the Russian forces. It took them another two months of heavy fighting, and a change in their tactics, before they were able to capture Grozny. The battle caused enormous destruction and casualties amongst the civilian population and saw the heaviest bombing campaign in Europe since the end of World War II.[10]

Soviet apartment buildings may be drab and lifeless, but at least they don't fall over like the Chinese ones.

Glad we left Russia in '99. My brother would have probably ended up in that shit if we didn't. My cousin wasn't so lucky. I'm told he came back pretty fucked up in the head from it and killed himself shortly after.

Chechnya is predominately Sunni Muslim, lots of hard ass jihadis come from there, the "Caucasus Emirate" was founded there as well (see Beslan Massacre).

I have no fucks to give if the Russians kill them en masse

People act like the Russians are a big threat; but they are maxed out even trying to take the east half of Ukraine.  They have less GDP than Texas, 5 times the population and generous commie payouts.

If they didn’t inherit the Soviet Union’s nuclear arsenal and spy apparatus, nobody would give two shits about them.

They’re good at asymmetrical warfare.  Their conventional forces have and always will be sub-par because Slav shit.  The only thing that saves them throughout history is the vastness of Russia.

Yeah, they exercise minimal effective control over territory they already have.  They can take the east side of Ukraine but then what?  It’s like a Jack Russel that caught a car.

Yes it was. So was the response. “They don’t give a fuck. All they want to do is wipe us out.”

"when it's dark capture some chechen families.  Announce that you have hostages and take a circular defense"

That's coming here eventually.

That footage is from Chechen War Part II.  By that point, you seriously have to wonder how much Iranian Guard was involved - command detonated mines as an example.  Even though it isn't covered in the media, one has to assume that Iran is behind a lot of these destabilizing wars in the middle east over the last 20 years, as part of their overarching long range plan / strategy.  The first Chechen war was brutal, but it also illustrated that if the US military had to fight the Russians in the 1990's, it largely might have been a walk over on our part.  Russians were poorly trained, poorly lead, and had to resort to artillery shelling all of Grozny to have half a chance to take over the city.
