Photos Chechen Wars



I have read those two, well and some others related to Russian military that include some coverage of that war, but mostly are historical, tactical, strategical analysis. In any case the book "The insurgency in Chechnya..." is quite interesting and gives a comprehensive look to the conflict.

Hell on earth - Russian new-year assault on Grozny, January 1995. Russian side lost about 2000 man dead, also 500 missing, 4700 wounded and about 100 captured. More than 240 Tanks and armored vehicles were lost in fighting, Chechen side, after losing several hundred man, retreated from devastated city, Russians took city, just to lose it in Chechen summer offensive of 1996. This battle really showcased weakness of Russian army in urban warfare. It also took lives of 35,000 civilians...

So sad that Russian command did not care for lives of neither young Russian boys, nor Chechen people

This battle was illustration of why you just don't rush armor, even with infantry support in urban streets
