Apti Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat special forces detachment : We are the army of Jesus Christ
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.by Alexander Kots [KP] “In general, I went to law enforcement agencies only out of blood feud,” a short, stocky Chechen in unloading sits down on a bench next to him. We are sitting in the courtyard of a broken high-rise building in Rubizhne, waiting for the exit towards Severodonetsk. Locals walk past with bicycles, periodically talking about something with already familiar fighters from the North Caucasus. The first days of civilians were literally fettered by fear at the sight of these "aliens" with beards. Ukrainian television foreshadowed a long and painful death at the hands of the Chechens. And, as a rule, with the use of edged weapons. But after some time, the locals suddenly discovered that even though they differ in appearance, but, what a surprise - the same people. - In 1993, when I was 13 years old, I was kidnapped together with my father by the Dudaevites, he was then in opposition, - continues Arbi. I managed to escape, my father was killed. And I decided to go to the police to find his killers. At the age of 23, I succeeded. I figured out the performer and destroyed him during a special operation. In general, I rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Then he quit. And now he came as a volunteer - to the position of an ordinary. Apti Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat special forces unit, drives up in an UAZ. In the 1990s, militants killed his father, older brother and uncle in Chechnya. Therefore, the question - whose side to choose - was not before him. He came to the Chechen Ministry of Internal Affairs as a lieutenant in the early 2000s. He headed the local UBOP, rose to the rank of Deputy Minister of the Interior of Chechnya for Combating Extremism with the rank of Major General, and retired. But the Motherland said "it is necessary." We jump into the UAZ to the general, who himself gets behind the wheel and rolls through the dusty fields. “Ukrainians are very kind people,” Apti unexpectedly gives out. "I lived in Belaya Tserkov for a year, I know what I'm talking about. We cannot say that we are opposed to them. We really love Ukrainians, we respect them. If we are not talking about those who are nationalistic, spread rot to their people, all Russian-speakers... And Ukrainians are good people." The closer to the front line, the more noticeably the landscape changes. Seemingly prosperous villages are replaced by broken huts, burnt skeletons of armored vehicles “float” along the roads, we are going where Ukrainian troops felt quite confident two days ago. We run into the blown up bridge. - This is a direct road that leads to Severodonetsk. But we bypassed this crossing through the forests, almost encircled the enemy in this area, and he was forced to retreat, - one of the fighters explains. We go around the ford and roll out to the positions where the fighters of the Akhmat special squad are bustling about. I note that among the Chechens there are quite a lot of Slavic faces. And Mongoloid. And in general, all sorts of different ones - a real international. The guys on camera are asked to send greetings to Rostov, Astrakhan, Voronezh, Samara ... These are volunteers who have been trained on the basis of the Special Forces University in Gudermes. - A long time here? I hand the men cigarettes. - Yes, only today they finally cleaned it up, - they are helping themselves. There was fighting here a few hours ago. And if you want, we will show what kind of pillboxes they had here - you will admire. But only with legs. Following the reconnaissance group, we advance through the seemingly serene pine forest. Overhead - there, in the direction of the retreating enemy, shells rustle, tearing the sky. From there they respond from mortars, but out of order - 300 meters along the flanks. The cloud cover is low, and it is almost impossible to correct fire from drones today. The scale of the fortifications is amazing. A wide network of trenches dug in sandy soil, solid dugouts in three rolls, on the hills - powerful pillboxes, from which the entire district is shot through. - Why are you here? - Normal male work. Money, of course, motivates me, - Pushkar does not hide. – But I can’t look indifferently at how our prisoners are slaughtered, how this international from all over Europe gathers here, as if on a safari. We have our own safari now. We give a light from all trunks. There are enough cartridges, - says the machine gunner with the call sign "Pushkar". - Where did you come from? - From Sochi. - And what did you do in civilian life? - Yes, a lot. Crypto enthusiast lately. I will earn money here, I will launch a startup. - What? - Blockchain, mining, integration into the real sector of the economy. To make the technology work at the philistine level. So that electricity is not just burned to heat hot water, but a cryptocurrency is mined, which allows you to bypass sanctions and makes people financially more independent. - What is your education? - I'm a businessman. But today I'm a machine gunner. I have long ceased to be surprised when I met representatives of professions atypical for the front. On the front lines of Donbass, I met librarians, dentists, and sales assistants… Apti Alaudinov likes to philosophize: - In our detachment there are no divisions into nationalities and religions. We are fighting not for some piece of land, but for the fact that the spiritual values that have been sent down to us by the Almighty remain where they should be. All my life I have been preparing myself for the fact that when the prophet Isa - Jesus comes, I will be in his army. Yes, this will be preceded by certain events. Before the appearance of Jesus, Imam Mahdi, the leader of all Muslims, will appear. He will be in the mosque when Jesus enters. They get to know each other and pray together. This day will mark the unification of the army of Muslims and Christians in the battle against the devil, against the Antichrist. Therefore, there is nothing supernatural in my saying that we are the army of Jesus. We are at war against satanists. And the victory that we are gaining today is a victory over the dark forces. To understand this, one must come to God. The clouds begin to stretch, and in order not to tempt the enemy's unmanned aircraft, we leave the front line. And the scouts continue their dangerous path, clearing the positions left by the Ukrainians. During the three months of work in the special operation zone, I noticed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are skillfully defending themselves when it comes to storming their positions with equipment. Here, Western models of anti-tank weapons are used. And dug dugouts save from artillery. They themselves actively and quite accurately respond from afar with large calibers, but when it comes to a direct collision of infantrymen, they prefer to retreat. This is what is happening now in the Severodonetsk direction. Severodonetsk itself is already closely surrounded from the north, east and south, and the supply route leading through Lisichansk to Bakhmut is under close fire control of Russian artillery. True, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are cunning, using civilian vehicles for logistics. According to the calculations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the LPR, up to 15,000 Ukrainian "zahists" can be inside this cauldron. In the event of a closure of the boiler, this will be a blow no less painful than the fall of the Mariupol garrison. Posted by: badanov 2022-05-19 |
