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.

that was funny as hell, thanks!
“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?”
It’s bullsh!t propaganda from Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
And it will be repeated by every western news outlet before morning...with none of them knowing whether it’s true.
Western media prints what they are told to print. Just like everywhere else.
That is the funniest thing I’ve read in weeks. Well done!
LOL!!!!!
Thanks! A laugh sorely needed.

Thanks for posting that. I needed a laugh.
I don’t believe any of this from either side. I HOPE it’s true. But war includes PR and manipulation. I choose to be very careful about what I’m reading.
Sure they did.
Sure.
(Facepalm)
This doesn’t smell right. Since when do special forces, let alone assassins, advance with a tank column?
Zelinsky may be brave, but he’s not stupid. He’s not going to imitate Tank Man. Rather, he’ll be a moving target, hectoring and encouraging.
LOL.
They’re Brit civvies.
Any tracked vehicle, especially with any type of gun, that isn’t a halftrack, is a ‘tank’.
Maybe APCs with a MG mounted on them.
56 = ‘5 or 6’?
‘Missile’ = any munition that is neither a fired projectile, nor a dropped bomb: ICBM or other rockets; shoulder fired munition; launched, as opposed to thrown, grenades...mortars are a grey area. Brit-speak, even a thrown or slung rock is a ‘missile’.
Great post! But what does FTW mean?
