90’s or early 2000, anyway the Chechen commander would only allow three man teams infiltrate into Grozny. Two dudes perhaps lite machine guns or Ak’s and one man carrying anti tank perhaps rpg. Anyway they had the Grozny city planner on command staff, and these Chechen hunter killer teams could use sewers pop up hit and disappear. City planner knew the sewers.

The Chechen commander kept the main body of his troops out city pretty smart as if in Grozny they would have been surrounded destroyed by Russians.

I work with a friend immigrated to America he was sov VDV Afghanistan, fellow infantry paratrooper. Yet his two brothers ended up tours Chechnya, fortunately they survived they remained in Tula he came states and is co worker.
