Ukraine obliterates Chechen special forces column with 56 tanks outside Kyiv and kills top general ...
Daily Mail ^ | Feb. 26th, 2022 | Jimmy Mccloskey and Will Stewart

Ukraine landed a significant blow on Russia Saturday after it killed a large group of bloodthirsty Chechen special forces dispatched to assassinate the country's president Volodymyr Zelensky.

The armed group - famed for their barbaric violence and human rights abuses - were obliterated after their convoy of 56 tanks was blown to smithereens by Ukrainian missile fire on the second day of the Chechens' deployment. It is unclear how many died - but the number is likely to run into the hundreds.

Among those wiped out was Chechen general Magomed Tushaev. He was commander of the 141th motorized national guard brigade - Chechen head of state Ramzan Kadyrov’s elite force.

Tushaev had also been pictured with Kadyrov, in a measure of his importance to the Chechen regime, which shot to notoriety in the west for hunting down, torturing and killing gay men.

Kadyrov is even believed to have visited his doomed squadron in a Ukrainian forest before their deaths - although further details on where the killings took place have yet to emerge.

I bet that the United States is going to pay for all the damage when this is over.

Somehow, Biden is going to accept the blame — on behalf of the United States — for this war. He's going to magnanimously agree that we should pay to rebuild Ukraine, and pay Russia for the equipment it has lost.

“...convoy of 56 tanks was blown to smithereens...”

Why does the Daily Mail print stuff like this when they have zero clue whether it is even true?

The tanks were carrying Chechen assassins? Because Russian tanks carry infantry?

The purple prose is to compensate for the lack of verified facts. Huge if true though...

This bad fiction is really getting out of hand. No evidence or reliable photos. Just breathless, over the top propaganda. Yawn.

Imagine what it would have been like if WWII was fought in the age of the internet.

Where are the Twitter feeds for this awesome tank battle? Where are the pictures of the mutilated bodies and the lamentations of their weeping women?

Oh, sorry, wrong movie.

I'm hearing reports that the Ukrainians are completely handing the Russians their asses.

Are we being lied to? If this is true, it will be the most humiliating defeat for Russia since the Sino-Russian war of 1905.
