    They encircled the city and put it under siege, then shelled and bombed Grozny flat before sending in the tanks after six weeks or so of that. Then they killed damn near every Chechen male they could get their hands on.

    This makes a difference in the outcome. Add that Putin had just risen to his first Premiereship in 1999, followed by his having Moscow apartment buildings bombed to provide a pretense to kick off the war. Totally crushing the Chechens gave him additional Strong Man cred that fueled his further rise to power.

    R 135 is the Recon version of the Boeing KC-135, but there are many variants, so it depends which one it was. E6 is an airborne command and control plane. B742 is a 747 variant, military. The Dc-10 is, well, a DC-10.

    Remember, Ukraine's defense is much better than Chechnya's was..... Ukraine is going to go as well as Afghanistan for Russia/CCCP.

    Interesting thread. Russian expert says while the Ukraine resistance is impressive, Russia is holding back.
