Not particularly good soldiers, but they are fanatics, which makes them dangerous.
That's 12 brigades, if anyone is keeping track.
| And that many fewer Moslem fanatics who’ll be around to cause trouble in Russia later. |
[KavkazUzel] 60,344 fighters have been sent from Chechnya to participate in the military operation in Ukraine, of which 22,064 are volunteers, while 13,000 fighters are in the combat zone, Ramzan Kadyrov reported.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the Chechen authorities regularly report on sending groups of fighters from the republic to the zone of the military operation in Ukraine. On May 7, at a meeting with the Russian president, Kadyrov reported that 55,500 fighters have been sent from Chechnya since the beginning of the military operation, including 21,600 volunteers. "Right now there are more than 11 thousand of our guys from the Ministry of Defense, the Russian National Guard, the Akhmat special forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Chechen Republic at the front," Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel that same day.
As of today, 60,344 fighters have been sent from Chechnya to the combat zone, of which 22,064 are volunteers, Ramzan Kadyrov said on his Telegram channel, reporting on the results of a meeting in the republic's government. According to him, there are more than 13 thousand servicemen from Chechnya in the combat zone.
The data on the total number of security forces sent from Chechnya do not include the military personnel who have left the country, are in barracks, are on leave, or have left the combat zone as part of the rotation. At the same time, since November 2022, Kadyrov has accompanied each report on the dispatch of another group with an appeal to contact the Grozny mayor's office and sign up as a volunteer, and regularly emphasizes that the flow of volunteers is not decreasing and there are no problems with their recruitment. He also regularly reports that there are many residents of other regions of Russia among the volunteers.
On January 14, volunteers who arrived in Chechnya to sign a military contract complained that they were being kept locked up for weeks in order to be sent to the combat zone instead of local residents who had paid off their service. According to human rights activists, coercion to sign contracts is practiced in Chechnya, and security forces may create an "exchange fund" from volunteers who arrived from other regions, who will sign contracts instead of local residents.
