Kadyrov is pictured alongside Putin----- In better times
Posted on 08/16/2023 1:40:40 PM PDT by dennisw
The conflict was sparked when troops from Dagestan - a poor, mountainous region of southern Russia disproportionately affected by the Russian army's conscription drive late last year - took umbrage with the arrival of the 'Kadyrovites', who are particularly vocal on social media and were allegedly in town to film propaganda clips.
Around 8pm local time, a fight broke out between the two groups.
The NRC said: 'During the quarrel, one of the occupants opened fire in the air from a small automatic weapon.
'In the course of the fight, one of the occupiers was inflicted with numerous stab wounds which were fatal.
Russian fighters from Dagestan allegedly clashed with a unit of Chechen troops Brawl quickly descended into armed combat with 20 killed and 40 wounded
A disagreement between Russian units in the occupied Zaporizhzhia region descended into a full-blown conflict in which at least 20 of Putin's troops died after shooting at each other with automatic weapons, it has been claimed.
Ukraine's National Resistance Centre - an organisation that helps to coordinate the operations of pro-Ukrainian movements in occupied territory - reported that Russian fighters from Dagestan clashed with a unit of Chechen troops operating under orders from the head of the Republic of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, a close Putin ally.
A disagreement between the groups, who encountered each other in the Ukrainian town of Mykhailivka near Melitopol, led to some of the troops getting embroiled in a fist-fight. But the scrap quickly spiralled out of control.
One fighter was stabbed, at which point the violence immediately escalated and the troops drew their guns, blasting each other with automatic weapons and even grenades, according to NRC sources.

Did these guys have a layover in Chicago?
I can hear Nilsson singing now....”People let me tell you ‘bout my best friend....”
I keep telling people. Keep the grenade launchers and machine guns in a separate room.
Charming people these Muskovite Mercenaries.
I think that can rightly be called going Over The Top!
The counteroffensive you said would win the day? It’s a 🤡 show.
Sounds like any US city at night.
We had that when the Artillery guys and the Infantry guys got together.
Never went as far as automatic weapons or grenade launcher level though.
Acts of industrial sabotage within Russia will only increase as more citizens of these poverty plagued far-flung oblasts watch their men disappear forever into eastern Ukraine and come to realize the war is simply political adventurism for the benefit not of Russia the country but Putin the politician.
There is just something about this thread that is bumping against my funny bone...
It’s pretty depressing reading the Ukrainian news. Thanks for spicing things up with a little slapstick.
Safer than Chicago.
They're not the typical Russian conscripts drunk on vodka.
Egad!
This is what happens when you ban transtesticles from the military./sarc
Did ya know that was a remake? Of his own song?
Originally it was “Let me tell you ‘bout my girlfriend...” but he redid it for the tv show with slightly different lyrics.
I hate it when that happens,
Gotta love Ivan...
