Cool pics. What a **** hole. You might want to put a "graphic image" warning on that one pic, but it's not too bad.

[robmika]

That photo of the troop escorting the kids kind of tugs at the heart... They are the real victims of all the adult BS going on. :(

[scrybe]

Yea, pretty sadi what is going on over there.

I've noticed though, why do all pictures coming out of that area appear 20 years old? Have they really not caught up with photographic technology? Wether it be digital or just more advanced film cameras.

Because thay are scanned from different magazines, therefore quality deteriorates. Here is the link to the "first-hand source"

Thanks for the props Russian Texan, but my gallery is hardly the "first-hand source" for these images. I've got these these particular pictures from RomanStepanov who, I believe, have received them from his contacts at the Bratishka magazine.

[ZeroPositive]

excellent photos not often we see photos of the conflict.

[anonymous individual]

Nice pictures.

[haze99]

I need some data, as of now, how many Russian troops have been Killed-in-Action? How many are Missing-In-Action?

These will probably be an approximate, how many Chechen fighters have been killed?

This all began in December 1994, right?

[Roger Rabbit]

Do a search, theres plenty of topics on this forum about Chechnya, incluing why the first and second war started and casualties.

Edit:search function isnt working for me so i can't help.

[Abbyy]

Several small mistakes here:

Chechen L-39 planes were still unarmed when they were destroyed (Dudaev didn't have enough time to convert them onto ground-attack planes)

This tactical missile on picture is unguided Tochka-U. Pure ballistical. That's why two of them missed Maskhadov HQ and hit the market nearby to this building in 1999 (famous market explosion). Contrary to this case Tochka-U hit target area in 2000 in the center of Argun(?) very precisely killing dozens of insurgents which met on central square of city.

Unidentified person with RPG is from OMON unit (don't remember which)

Thanks, Abbyy!

Russia's separatist republic of Chechnya will choose a president 05 October 2003, in an election that the Kremlin touts as proof that the four-year war here is over, and which critics dismiss as a farce. An estimated 540,000 registered voters in the war-torn republic will have a choice of seven candidates, with Akhmad Kadyrov, whom Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed to run Chechnya three years ago, expected to win despite tenuous popular support.

[ronin2172]

what is the russian military's policy on issuing web gear and unis? Other than the first pic of the funeral (RIP) and the pic of the guys marching in single file, they all seem to be wearing different stuff. Do russian soldiers have more freedom in choice of gear or is it a first come first serve type of thing? Or or r there a lot of different units (ie different ministries) operating together?

[roujio87]

Sorry for my "good video".In Swizerland jounalists tell russian troops kills kids and womans.
I wanted to say these videos show the reality of Chechnya.

[Russian Texan]

There are a lot of different units from different departments/ministries operating in Chechnya, all of them have their own uniform policies. Add to that the fact that every branch of the armed forces issues their own type of uniform/camouflage, plus certain units allowed to purchase and use uniforms and gear on their own...

It all amounts to no uniform standartization whatsoever, if you don't like the issued stuff - buy your own in the army store.
Seems like chaos but somehow it all works out.

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

Well there is no camo-standardization in Russia. So generally you get what your issued, for some occassions I think there is exceptions (Inspections / Ceremonies).

In the field they can wear any sorta camoflauge that makes them happy, sometimes you can see pics were every piece of clothing is a different camoflauge pattern.

But heres my favorite russian pattern ;)

World War 1 was worse. Medieval combat was even worse.

What would you prefer, dying a quick death from a bullet or a bomb, or being mutilated and then dying a slow death on the battlefield surrounded by rotting corpses and scavengers? :lol:

After most battles they'd usually plunder the corpses and the dying anyway, so if you were lucky, some peasant would come by with a shovel and bash your head in to put you out of your misery.

I do not recall reading/hearing any stories from WW1 that involved mutilating or beheading prisoners, using woman and children as shields and boby-traping corpses.

Have there been any foreign fighters captured or killed with the Chechens? Such as Syrian, Iranian or Bosnian people? Do they have alot of not-Chechen fighters in there ranks?
What is the current situation in the region?

What is the current situation in the region?They have many foreign fighters. Some of their "war heroes" are Saudis that came to fight and the like. However, most of the foreign mujahideen were slaughtered near the beginning of the conflict because they would walk around in huge (and stupid) groups of over one hundred men. Now the fighting is pretty much left up to the guys who won the first Chechen war (Chechens).

yeah that's what they show us...

but what they also show is when chechen terrorists murder kadyrow, when they murder russian soldiers, when they blow up tanks etc

not that the russians think that the swiss media is on the side of the chechens which isn't the case

The videos are certainly strong but that is the reallity of the war, chechen rebels are as barbaric as the russian troops...

But I cannot imagine there are "good freedom fighters" (not civilians).

Chechen L-39 planes were still unarmed when they were destroyed (Dudaev didn't have enough time to convert them onto ground-attack planes)

Technically they were jet trainers and had unguided air to ground capability for training purposes... ie gunpods, unguided rocket pods, light bombs.


I can imagine there are " also good" russian soldiers in chechnya.

The "Russian Soldiers" currently there are either spec ops or Interior Ministry troops. Ie for the western layman Spetsnaz and what equates to a combination of American National Guard and border patrol personel.

Amusing that some here think that the Russian soldiers can be so brutal and apparantly rape every chechen woman twice a day yet the recently assasinated Chechen president was a former Rebel. Not only that but plenty of Chechen nationals also help the Russian troops and fight rebels too.

Still It can't last much longer... according to the figures the entire civilian population of Chechenia has been killed about twice over already so the only ones left must just be rebels or pro Russian forces.. :roll:

I've read that pods wasn't mounted in time they were destroyed.

[GazB]

I've read that pods wasn't mounted in time they were destroyed.

No, they didn't appear to have them fitted when hit, but they had the ability to carry and use such weapons as part of their normal training role.

Ie they had the sighting systems, avionics, and pylon attachment point to be fitted with such things.

I'm almost sure this ain't a LAW, but what is it? Recently I saw a video about Grozny and in that video they also showed a RPG (? can't remember exactly) fired from inside a building. What about the backblast? Whe are trained not to fire an AT-4 (M-136) from inside a building otherwise we would end up outside this building. Any guesses?

[earl]

It's an RPG-18, looks a lot like a LAW.
