Akhmat on Akhmat sits

What is known about the Chechen units that fell under the blow of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region

On August 6, it became known that during the operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region a large number of Russian border guards and military personnel involved in the protection of the state border on this site were captured. Including, the military personnel of the Chechen regiment “Akhmat-Chechnya” formed from residents of Chechnya were also captured.

The Ukrainian side ridiculed the Chechens, accusing them of standing behind the border guards and conscripts, did not provide any resistance to the Armed Forces and left their positions.

At the same time, in the initial messages it was not specified in any way, we are talking about the fighters of which Chechen unit: the prisoners of the Chechens were called either the “Kadyrovites” or the “special forces” of Akhmat ”.

Meanwhile, more than ten units related to various power departments (MO, Rosgvardiy and the Ministry of Internal Affairs) were formed to participate in combat operations in Ukraine in Chechnya. A volunteer detachment of special forces was also created, which was first seconded to the Donetsk and Lugansk militia, and then, when these forces became part of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, also began to relate to the Ministry of Defense. This volunteer unit is headed by the deputy chief of the political department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Autti Alaudinov, and it is 80 percent formed from fighters who are not ethnic Chechens. It is mainly replenished by volunteers from other regions of Russia.

Due to the desire of Ramzan Kadyrov, to perpetuate the name of his father Akhmat Kadyrov, the word “Akhmat” is used in the name of all created in Chechnya for the war in Ukraine. This brings huge confusion to the understanding of which Chechen division where is it, to which department it belongs and what tasks he performs. Not really trying to understand this, commentators, as a rule, are called “Akhmatovites” or “Kadyrovites” and express their relatively real combat capacity very critically. But this, like any generalization, is not quite accurate, since some Chechen units, primarily related to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, are quite actively involved in hostilities.

On the eve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region, the Chechen units were deployed as follows along the entire Russian-Ukrainian border.

In the Belgorod region, along with other divisions of the Ministry of Defense, the Support Battalion “West-Ahmat” is serving the state border protection of the State Government. It is commanded by the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Kurchaloevsky district of the Chechen Republic Rustam Aguuev. The military personnel of this battalion have been in the Belgorod region since the summer of last year. As the situation at the border worsened, they were increasingly involved in hostilities. With the beginning of the onset of the North group, which is not led by Kadyrov, General Alexander Lapin (the Chechen head repeatedly, publicly and very harshly criticized his professional competencies), the military personnel of the Aguuev battalion take an active part in the Kharkov direction and suffer significant losses.

So, on May 18 of this year, as a result of the shelling by the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Hospital in Volchansk, 11 troops of the West-Ahmat battalion were simultaneously killed, and several dozen people were injured.

In the Bryansk region, another Chechen regiment of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation-“Akhmat-Russia” is deployed. They are commanded by Zaurbek Elimkhanov. After Mariupol today, this is probably the safest place of service in war. But it is impossible to get to Mariupol from the street: first of all, because of the illegal business, which Chechen security officials close to Delimkhanov and Kadyrov are actively engaged there. But the Akhmat-Russia regiment Delimkhanov’s assistants offer those who wish as a way to get away from criminal prosecution by participating in his. There is a video where a resident of Urus-Martan Beslan Karimov, who was very close to Delimkhanov, who lit up in raids in favor of the Chechnya authorities and is on the federal wanted list of fraud and falsification of documents talks about the prices. So, a 4-month volunteer contract with a guaranteed hit in the Akhmat-Russia regiment costs up to 10 million rubles. Or can be done to the fund to them. Kadyrova equal donation for the needs of his (cars, drones, etc.)

In the Kursk region, another Chechen regiment is deployed-“Akhmat-Chechnya”. They are commanded by Aslambek Saliev. The fighters of this particular regiment were captured on August 6, when their unit left their positions and without a fight went deep into the Kursk region.

Ramzan Kadyrov himself, who repeatedly stated that he was in touch with all his divisions around the clock, did not comment on the unpleasant situation. He entrusted this to his former associate, now the deputy chief of the political department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, General Alaudinov.

Autti Alaudinov recognized the fact of the fighters of the Akhmat-Chechnya fighters and even called the exact number of prisoners. (At that time, Ukrainian sources showed only three people, Alaudinov specified that there were five Akhmat-Chechnya fighters in captivity.)

At the same time, sources related to the Armed Forces of Ukraine distributed information about another prince of Chechens.

He was shown with an almost completely cluttered face and said that it was a soldier of the Aida unit, which is part of the Akhmat special forces.

In response, Alaudinov stated that this could not be, since at the time of the APU, there was no “Aida” in the Kursk region. He demanded that the Ukrainians show the person and documents of this prisoner. The next day, the documents of the five detained military personnel from the Akhmat-Chechnya were published, but the documentary confirmation of the fact that the Akhmat special forces were captured-and specifically “Aida”-the Ukrainian side did not present.

The Aida group is headed by a resident of Donetsk, he carefully hides his name. “Aida” is one of the most effective Akhmat special forces, former Wagnerians who have moved to Akhmat during Prigozhin’s lifetime, the Aida, is deputy Alaudinov. According to Alaudinov, the enemy is a real hunt for the fighters of Aida and therefore it is so important for them to capture (or declare that they captured) a soldier of this unit.

As our source confirmed to us, at the time of the AISA special operation in the Kursk region, the Aida group was indeed in the Volchansk region in the Kharkov region, since some of the Akhmat special forces were transferred from the Silveric forestry of the Lugansk region to participate in the Kharkov offensive of the RF Armed Forces.

The Aida group was one of the first to be relocated to the Kursk region immediately after the scale of the Armed Forces of Ukraine became clear, and the failure of the Russian defense in this section of the border.

However, at the moment, according to our source, there are no prisoners and dead in the AIDA group, nor in other units of the Akhmat volunteer special forces, three Akhmat special forces were injured when their column was undermined by a mine.

In response to the request to describe the operational situation, our source said that “the advance of the enemy has slowed down, but this happened on his initiative, not on ours. The fighting in the Kursk region is more like partisanism, there is no continuous combat line of a clash, there are separate sorties of ours and the enemy in the forest. ”

“According to experience, including Chechen, when we fought against the federals,” our source said, “to squeeze the Armed Forces from the captured territory in such conditions for weeks, if not for months.”
