The cowardice and flight of the fighters from the Akhmat units in the Kursk region have been actively discussed on social media for the past three days. War correspondents, foaming at the mouth, talked about how cowardly the Kadyrovites are and how they abandoned their section of the defense line, which was not even the front line.
The chief of the Akhmat special forces, Apti Alaudinov, remained silent like a fish about this retreat for two days, writing various patriotic nonsense, recalling the war with the devil, and even quoting the insane Orthodox fascist Alexander Dugin. Apparently, by quoting Dugin, he believed that the stream of blatant mockery towards “Akhmat” would stop. But nothing stopped.
During this time, Apti Alaudinov was constantly thinking about how to present everything in such a way that Akhmat’s retreat to the deep rear would look like a heroic act.
And finally, he came up with a version of how everything allegedly happened. It turns out that the valiant fighters from Akhmat, defending the Russian-Ukrainian border, did not resist the Ukrainian Armed Forces because the enemy passed by the Kadyrovites’ strongpoints.
The “Akhmat” fighters, during the start of the Ukrainian military operation, were guarding the border and were at their positions, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces bypassed them. “At first, they passed through areas where there was a large distance from our strongpoints, then with their equipment, as they say, they directly approached and smashed the MAPPs with tanks and passed through,” said Apti Alaudinov.
He forgot to mention that the Ukrainian Armed Forces didn’t want to engage with “Akhmat” because they were afraid. That would have been more plausible and heroic. But the commander of the Kadyrovites decided to be modest and told a less epic version. However, “Akhmat” is still a force somewhere in the Kursk area, where equipment with the tactical signs of this unit was spotted.
Among the hundreds of Russian prisoners in the Kursk region, there is not a single Kadyrovite yet. Akhmat-force is again shouting somewhere in the deep rear while the Ukrainian Armed Forces are dismantling other Russian units on the front line.
