So true..makes you to appreciate that we are living in peace
Regarding Infentry wepion, Almost same as Russian..Kunal what did equipment did the rebels use?
And why tanks for irregular/asymmetric warfare warfare?
Very true..@ kunal sir.... sir is it true that initial russian strategy of using tanks in narrow streets took a very heavy toll of russia Armour ...?? russians had misjudged the firepower of the rebels and were completely overwhelmed due to it...?? saw it on history channel but cant ascertain facts...!!
Notable for the New Year's Eve offensive in which Chechens virtually annihilated Russian armored thrusts into the city by ambushing their columns with small-arms and RPGs, funneling them into pre-targeted killing zones. They destroyed the forward and rear vehicles, preventing retreat, from high buildings and basements. Tanks were unable to raise or lower their turrets to return fire at those heights. More than 100 tanks were destroyed and hundreds killed, including one entire battalion. Ultimately the Russians won this first battle of Grozny, but at terrible cost.
I think they still use the red star even know.Interesting see, that even after the USSR end, the Russian army was using the communist symbols in their uniforms yet.
