It has recently come to light that the a major reason for Russia’s success in the battle against ISIS is due largely to the Chechen units of the Russian Spetznaz (special forces), that have infiltrated ISIS in both Iraq and Syria, since the very beginning.
Chechen President, Ramzan Kadyrov explains that long before the term ISIS became an international buzzword, he was aware of the Western operated training camps for so-called “moderate rebels”, so he ordered Chechen Spetznaz soldiers to join ISIS.
“Our soldiers went through training at NATO bases and helped to found the Syrian State [ISIS]. They wear clothes common for ISIS and look like them.”
Thus, a large network of Chechen agents was established throughout ISIS since the very beginning, collecting vital information with powerful results, when Chechen agents began coordinating their on-the-ground intelligence with Russia’s air campaign.
Kadyrov apparently feels secure in speaking so openly about the operation because he is confident that the Chechen men are so deeply entrenched, all with fake passports, etc. that they will never be caught.
These revelations being made now about the the operation may well be a tactical move, to create more chaos and confusion within the already collapsing terror group.
MOTHMAN777: I agree 100% with your estimation. I think it was “a big mistake” to publicly expose that information which (as you said) can “go either way!” Top level ISIS people may be maniacs, but they’re not stupid!
Now Kadyrov has grassed them all up, hasn’t he? So ISIS will start to more heavily monitor all those within it’s ranks of Chechen origin, and then execute them. Very clever. Or, is this really a cunning disinformation ploy to get ISIS to suspect all those within it’s ranks of Chechen origin and simply get them all butchered by ISIS themselves?
