MikeyD Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 THANK YOU for linking to seige of Pervomaiskoye! I remember watching footage of the event back while it was taking place. I've brought up the topic a few times here (not recalling the village name) and was unable to find anyone else who recalled it. I especially recall seeing TV news footage of Russian artillery rockets being fired flat-trajectory over open sites into the not-too-distant village. Yikes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few sources on the conflict. Here is a relevant one where some of the chechen leadership gives insight into how they they planned and executed their battles; http://www.smallwarsjournal.com/documents/davidgoliath.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
