Igor and your steps go fight for your chicken and became headless eagle, because they need you now pig.
Military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer said firepower may not be enough for Russia to take Grozny.
"If you use conventional shells and conventional bombs in a modern city, you turn the buildings into rubble. but even in the rubble, a determined infantry force can fight," Felgenhauer said. "To really take a city, the Russians need good infantry. And their main problem right now is they don't have any good infantry at all."
gee, well that sucks..

Turk,
C'mon man, don't get sarcastic with me"""
Sorry Dimitri, I did not mean to be sarcastic. I am glad that you say you are not racist. Anyway, I have to go too. So PEACE!
There are a lot of Pro Moscow Chechnyans out there that like the stability of Russian federal backing, but there are a lot of people that don't want it.
Now that everyone has been displaced it might ba a good time to stop the madness that is happening in Grozny. Grozny is now a wasteland not worth fighting for. Pullback to the Northwest lowlands and try to muster up some kind of mediated peace-talks.
later, Turk
The Russians will not take the Mountains and they can not hold Grozny.

MOSCOW -- Russia's military has acknowledged that more than 900 Russian troops have been killed in fighting against rebels in the breakaway region of Chechnya and in neighboring Dagestan, Itar-Tass news agency reported on Tuesday.
"kindergarden" type insults must be hip these days, huh, schmocks?
Even superpowers can be brought to their heels when their enemies employ asymmetric warfare
By Harry Levins
Imagine that nature pits you against a grizzly bear. The bear comes equipped with big teeth and sharp claws. You come equipped with small teeth and dull fingernails.
So you reach for a rifle.
That's asymmetric warfare. Instead of fighting on the enemy's terms, you fight on your own.
The Chechen rebels insist on waging asymmetric warfare against the Russian army. The Russian army seems to be stunned, just as it was stunned in Chechnya in 1994-96 - and just as its predecessor, the Soviet army, was stunned in the 1980s when the Afghans insisted on waging asymmetric warfare.
You'd think that by now, somebody would have learned a lesson. And maybe somebody has. The U.S. Army is finally getting around to putting a dose of asymmetry in its own combat training.
But first, the Russians. They're not training. They're fighting a life-and-death war, and they seem to be doing a bad job of it.
The first time around in Chechnya, the Russians tried to storm Grozny with tanks. The Russian army had built itself around tanks - all the better to roll over NATO with - so the Russians used what they had at hand.
Bad idea. Cities and tanks mix poorly. In narrow streets, tanks get slowed down and bottled up. A gutsy rebel with a few vodka-bottle gasoline bombs can rain havoc from high-rise buildings. Vodka bottles vs. tanks - that's classic asymmetrical warfare. It worked.
This time around, the Russians decided to bomb and shell Grozny from afar before walking in and taking over. Two problems.
First, bombing and shelling turns a city into rubble that makes the going even tougher for attackers. (In 1942-43, the Germans contributed with firepower to their own folly at Stalingrad, which the Russians seem to have forgotten.)
Second, in a CNN age, few nations can afford the public-relations black eye that they get from bombing and shelling civilians. The Israelis still pay a PR price for having shelled Beirut apartment buildings in the '80s.
Now, the Russians have put themselves in a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't dilemma. If they fail to take Grozny, they're a paper tiger. If they take Grozny, the butcher's bill on both sides will run wretchedly high, with frightful PR consequences.
The Russian generals must wish the accursed Chechens would fight back with tanks and artillery pieces - in others words, wage symmetrical warfare. Most generals in most armies feel most comfortable when they fight an enemy like themselves. Everybody plays by the same rules, and if your army is bigger (or smarter), you win.
In Desert Storm, the U.S. Army faced a desert enemy that used Soviet tanks and Soviet doctrine. That made the Iraqis the perfect enemy. For an entire decade, the U.S. Army had trained hard out in the California desert to fight the Soviet army.
That training paid off big time against the Iraqis. But it paid off only once. Generals all over the world watched the war on CNN. Even the dullest among them must have concluded that fighting the U.S. Army on its own terms was madness.
Now, the U.S. Army itself is coming to grips with what it hath wrought. Reporter Richard J. Newman of U.S. News & World Report recently returned to that California training center.
Soon, Newman says, GIs who rotate through for war games will face an asymmetric enemy - one who fights in villages, who uses cheap jammers to befoul the Army's electronics, who tosses chemical weapons around and who has access to such miracles as night-vision goggles.
That's miserable for the GIs. But it's a reassuring sign that their generals may be learning a lesson the Russians seem determined to ignore.

russians now want to kill their own generals
Despite the Kremlin's propaganda the Russian General Malofeyev is living, says the Chechen General Baudi Bakuyev. Malofeyev has been captured by the Chechens on January 19 and was brought to the mountains. But indeed he was wounded yesterday: The village he has been brought to was attacked by the Russians with bomber-planes. During the bombardment Malofeyev has been wounded heavily, the Russian colonel captured together with him died. Malofeyev's medical state is critical, medicaments are lacking. In the attack 3 Chechen fighters have been killed, too, 5 people were wounded.
