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.

The First Casualty of War Is the Truth – The Current Western Propaganda for Ukraine Is Epic in Scale

I think this is all fake news. Wiping out 50+ tanks in a single action would be bigger than the biggest tank battles in Iraq and yet not a single picture.
Dead dogs of war!
Wiped out by grannies with slingshots and if you don’t believe it you’re siding with Putin 🤪
Another spin on the classic “WWII as a multiplayer game chat log” thing. Never gets old.
I’ve seen armored wheeled vehicles, BTRs, called tanks.
Do not underestimate the ignorance of the journalist class on military subjects. You’ve seen the memes on “Journalist’s Guide to Firearms Identification”?
Now square that.

Speaking of Journalists and reporters.......nothing is more dumbed down than to hear women pundits narrate what’s going on in a war.
For The Win
Daily Mail is always unreliable.....but they do have great photos so why they didn’t show this fight leads one to believe it’s more propaganda.
On its face, it’s three pounds of BS in a two pound bag. If it had photos, I’d assume they were photo-shopped.
Did Pipi Longstocking take part in the action?
great post
It’s daylight there NOW!
7 hours ahead of us.
Its clear Russians are having problems. They have not taken Kharkiv, a Ukrainian city to the east only 26 miles from the Russian border.
Didn't you hear? It's patriotic for Americans to pay the price for Ukrainian democracy. So y'all stop yer complainin' and open up your pocket books. If we are lucky, money is the only thing they demand we pay in.
The photos I’ve seen appear to be overwhelmingly Ukrainian vehicles destroyed and on fire. The few of casualties looked to be not Russian, but Ukrainian uniforms.
Who’s believing these propaganda reports?
No one on FR could be that feeble minded.
All of a sudden, Ukraine is the military equivalent of Superman with extra large cape.
Come on man.
Yes, I remember that one too, I was debating whether to post that one.
