A new group of fighters was sent from Grozny to the SVO zone.

A group of fighters has been sent from Grozny to the military operation zone in Ukraine. It also includes representatives from other regions.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," Chechen authorities regularly report sending groups of fighters from the republic to the military operation zone in Ukraine. 61,221 fighters have been sent from Chechnya to participate in the military operation in Ukraine, including 22,321 volunteers. Of these, 13,000 fighters are currently in the combat zone, Ramzan Kadyrov reported on August 5.

The data on the total number of security forces sent from Chechnya does not include soldiers who have left the republic, are in barracks, are on leave, or have left the combat zone as part of rotation. Since November 2022, Kadyrov has accompanied each report of the deployment of another group with a call for people to contact the Grozny mayor's office and sign up as volunteers, regularly emphasizing that the flow of volunteers is not decreasing and there are no problems recruiting them. He also regularly reports that many residents of other regions of Russia are among the volunteers.

A large group of fighters departed from Grozny Airport for the military operation zone in Ukraine, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov announced on January 4. According to him, the group includes not only residents of Chechnya but also representatives from other regions of Russia, many of whom are not first deployed to the SVO zone.

Before deployment, candidates for service in the Russian Ministry of Defense's Akhmat special forces unit underwent intensive combat and tactical training at the Vladimir Putin Russian Special Forces University, where they "acquired all the necessary skills to operate in the most challenging conditions," the head of Chechnya reported on his Telegram channel.

The Russian Special Forces University is a training center established by Ramzan Kadyrov in Gudermes, where volunteers are trained for deployment to war zones and where the Akhmat special forces unit is based. The Caucasian Knot has prepared a report titled "What They Teach at the Putin Special Forces University in Chechnya".
