Dad "Akhmat"

The only divisions that publicly declared their readiness to suppress the rebellion of the Wagner PMC were the Kadyrovsky forces. How the battalions of the Chechen special forces are arranged - "New Europe" was versed

Knife in the back

Ramzan Kadyrov himself after the speech of Vladimir Putin burst into several bright posts in his TG channel, calling the rebellion with a knife with a knife in the back.

“What is happening is not an ultimatum to the Ministry of Defense, the head of Chechnya wrote . - This is a challenge to the state, and against this call it is necessary to rally everyone around the national leader: military, security forces, governors, civilian population ... The rebellion must be suppressed, and if hard measures must be taken, we are ready! ”

“I thought that some people could be believed,” Kadyrov continued in another post, written after the news that Prigozhin unfolds his columns, “that they sincerely love their homeland, like real patriots to the brain of bones. But it turned out that for the sake of personal ambitions, benefits and because of arrogance, people can give a damn about attachment and love for the Fatherland. ”

Kadyrov also reports that he was talking with Prigozhin and convinced him to leave a business ambitration and not to mix them with matters of state importance: “He thought that he had heard me, but it turns out that this anger in him all this time only grew up. The chain of unsuccessful transactions in entrepreneurship caused the businessman a hidden and long offense, which reached the peak, when the authorities of St. Petersburg did not provide his daughter with the desired land plot.

The arrogance of one person could lead to such dangerous consequences and draw a large number of people into conflict. ”

The Grozny CHGTRK television channel reported that “3 thousand fighters from the elite units of the region-the 96th Operational Regiment of the North Caucasus District (UKR) of the National Guard (VNG) of the 94th South VIS, South Battalion of the STS, 141st, were sent to protect the capital of Russia from the Chechen Republic. Motorized regiment named after Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov and military personnel of the Office of the Russian Guard in the Chechen Republic. "

At the same time, the Kadyrovites, who went to Rostov, did not enter the city, did not enter, stopping on the outskirts.

The ubiquitous Akhmat

“Almost every name of any Chechen unit mentions either the full name of Akhmat-Haji Kadyrov, or only Akhmat,” says a source of Novaya Gazeta Europe. - Shelves and battalions included in the Russian Guard or the Ministry of Defense are formed from residents of the republic. At the same time, Akhmat special forces are 90% not of Chechens, but of volunteers from all over Russia, who recruited through the Russian University of Special Forces (RUS). Alaudinov’s pharmacy commands this formation. ”

According to the source, until recently, volunteers signed short -term - from three to six months - contracts with Rosguard or the Ministry of Defense.

An objective analysis of the composition of volunteers on the list published by Ukrainian intelligence shows that, indeed, the volunteer special forces-division of Akhmat for more than 90% of the Chechens. The Chechen authorities themselves officially report this.

Israeli military expert David Sharp also claims that Akhmat special forces consists mainly not of residents of Chechnya, but of citizens of various nationalities from various regions of the country. The Chechens there are only higher leadership and officers. “This is a semi-dubious, semi-nuclear unit, in which there are elements of PMCs,” says David Sharp, New-Europe. - Recently, all of them were supposed to be transferred to a contract with the Ministry of Defense. Training and supply is carried out through Rus. According to my source in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, their preparation is on average higher than that of ordinary Russian military. ”

Tick-Tok-Voysk

In the video posted in the TG channel Ramzan Kadyrov, Alaudinov’s pharmacy says that his unit and the North-Ahmat regiment with a total number of more than 3 thousand people were sent by order of the head of Chechnya in Rostov-on-Don in order to “restore order here”. The special forces commander also promises to implicitly follow all the instructions of the Supreme Commander -in -Chief and put his lives for the rest of Russian citizens. By this moment, it was known that the Chechen units entered Rostov-on-Don only after all the Formations of the Wagner PMC were withdrawn from the city.

On the Internet, it is the Akhmat special forces that are called “Tick-Tok-Washings”, since the fighters and commanders of this unit are more likely to post their videos with their participation on the network.

At the same time, according to the source, special forces are probably involved in hostilities.

The source is convinced that after receiving the relevant order, the Chechen units would have entered the battle with the Wagnerians. This could happen both in Rostov-on-Don, and along the path of the column of Prigozhin forces. It is good that as a result of negotiations of direct collision, it was possible to avoid. Otherwise, a conflict on national grounds could also arise.

“There is also a video where Chechen units overlap the highway near Kolomna,” our source continues the story, “the fighters are menacingly walking around the cameras. However, no enemy is visible to them. As a result, we do not know where the divisions of the Russian Guard and the battalion of the Ministry of Defense, directed from Chechnya to suppress the rebellion, reached. I know for certain that various formations consisting of Chechens were transferred to Moscow. In the capital, according to my data, he organized the Chechen group Adam Delimkhanov. The forces of the Chechen Ministry of Emergencies were also transferred to Moscow. Kadyrov said that their task is to ensure the safety of facilities of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. ”

The total number of all power formations subordinate de facto Ramzan Kadyrov is unknown. Until February 24, 2022, the number of such fighters was approximately 16 thousand.

The source says that Chechens have been participating in the conflict from the first day of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Of the residents of the republic, several army regiments and battalions were created. In the name of everyone, the word "Ahmat" is present. They often recruit people through law enforcement agencies of Chechnya, where they are taught to handle weapons. Judging by the fact that units suffer significant losses, these formations are actively involved in hostilities.

“Chechens can fight well, but they have no serious motivation to die somewhere on a foreign land,” the source says. - If the enemy tries to capture Chechnya, here they will tear their teeth and go out with a machine gun against the tank. Moreover, they are now gaining combat experience necessary in a modern war. ”

“The degree of participation of Chechens in the fighting, in my opinion, must be treated very carefully,” remarks David Sharp. - In the video from the front edge of the Chechens in their beautiful uniforms, rich equipment and with salary beards, it is almost not visible from the first days of the conflict when the columns of the Russian Guard fell under the distribution near Kiev. It seems to many that they are simply not in the trenches. Even in the battles for Mariupol, where the Chechen units participated, it seemed that they played primarily the role of video bloggers. The network then turned out to be many obviously staging videos. There were several cases of the exact shelling of Ukraine of the rear places where the Chechen units were deployed, as a result, the Chechens suffered noticeable damage. ”

As far as our source, the Chechen formations suffered significant losses in the ongoing conflict. However, it is not customary to show serious injuries that returned from the war zone on the Internet and the media.

“As I understand it, there are not a lot of Chechens on the combat contact line today,” Elena continues the story. - More often they perform the functions of the military police to protect the occupied territories. At the same time, high -ranking commanders from the republic often leave the front to Grozny and generally fight on their own schedule. A certain number of Chechens were even present in the Wagner PMC. During the rebellion, they tried to contact relatives and leave the ranks of the mercenaries. ”

David Sharp also explains that part of the Chechen divisions belongs to the Russian Guard and performs the function of the police in the occupied territories. The Israeli expert claims that rumors about the Kadyrovites standing in barriers, have no significant evidence.

The authorities have already managed to report that the Chechen units after the reversal of the columns of the rebels were left to the places of constant deployment and to the zone of Ukrainian conflict.
