The initial assault resulted in very high Russian Armycasualties and an almost complete breakdown of morale in the Russian forces. It took them another two months of heavy fighting, and a change in their tactics, before they were able to capture Grozny. The battle caused enormous destruction and casualties amongst the civilian population and saw the heaviest bombing campaign in Europe since the end of World War II. Chechen separatist forces recaptured the city in August 1996, ending the war.
Tactics
The Chechen fighters had the advantage in that they were highly motivated and familiar with the terrain. As Soviet citizens, they spoke and were educated in Russian and had served in the Soviet armed forces. Many (like their Russian adversaries) had Soviet uniforms. Chechen units were divided into combat groups consisting of 15 to 20 personnel, subdivided into three or four-man fire teams. A fire team consisted of an anti-tank gunner, usually armed with Russian-made RPG-7s or RPG-18s, as well as a machine gunner and a rifleman. To destroy Russian armoured vehicles in Grozny, five or six hunter-killer fire teams deployed at ground level, in second and third stories, and in basements. The snipers and machine gunners would pin down the supporting infantry while the antitank gunners would engage the armoured vehicle aiming at the top, rear and sides of vehicles.
The 1999–2000 battle of Grozny was the siege and assault of the Chechen capital Grozny by Russian forces, lasting from late 1999 to early 2000. The siege and fighting left the capital devastated. In 2003, the United Nations called Grozny the most destroyed city on Earth.
Prelude
On October 15, 1999, after mounting an intense tank and artillery barrage against Chechen separatists, Russian forces took control of a strategic ridge within artillery range of Grozny. They then made several abortive attempts to seize positions on the outskirts of the city. On December 4, the commander of Russian forces in the North Caucasus, General Viktor Kazantsev, claimed that Grozny was fully blockaded by Russian troops. General Anatoly Kvashnin, chief of the army's general staff, even predicted the rebels would abandon the Chechen capital on their own, urged to withdraw by civilians fearing widespread destruction. Supported by a powerful air force, the Russian force vastly outnumbered and out-gunned the Chechen irregulars, who numbered around 3,000 to 6,000 fighters, and was considerably larger and much better prepared than the force sent to take the Chechen capital in the First Chechen War. In addition, the tactics of both sides in this second campaign were drastically different.
In the Battle of Grozny of August 1996 (also known as Operation Jihad or Operation Zero Option), Chechen rebels regained and then kept control of Chechnya's capital Grozny in a surprise raid. The Russian Federation had conquered the city during the Battle of Grozny (1994–1995) and posted there a large garrison of federal and republican Ministry of the Interior (MVD) troops. The much smaller rebel force infiltrated Grozny and either routed the MVD forces or split them into many pockets of resistance. Chechen separatists then beat back the Russian Ground Forces units that had been sent to eject the rebels and rescue their own trapped forces. The final result was a ceasefire that effectively ended the First Chechen War of 1994–1996.
Background
In July 1996, the Russian leadership abandoned the uneasy peace process in Chechnya and resumed large-scale military operations. Between July 9 and July 16, 1996, Russian forces attacked separatist bases in the foothills and mountains in the south of the Chechen Republic. On July 20, Russian forces launched a large-scale campaign to pacify the southern highlands, moving most of their combat troops there. On August 6, the very day of the rebel offensive, Russian forces began a major operation in the village of Alkhan-Yurt by moving 1,500 paramilitary Internal Troops and pro-Moscow Chechen policemen of Doku Zavgayev's government out of Grozny.
In Russian, "Grozny" means "fearsome", "awesome", or "redoubtable", the same word as in Ivan Grozny or Ivan the Terrible. While the official name in Chechen is the same, informally the city is known as "Соьлжа-Гӏала", which literally means "the city (гӏала) on the Sunzha River (Соьлжа)".
In 1996, during the First Chechen War, the Chechen separatists renamed the city Dzokhar-Ghala (Chechen:Джовхар-Гӏала), or Dzhokhar/Djohar for short, after Dzhokhar Dudayev, the first President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. In December 2005, the Chechen parliament voted to rename the city "Akhmadkala" (after Akhmad Kadyrov)—a proposition which was rejected by his son Ramzan Kadyrov, the prime minister and later President of the republic.

GROZNY BLOODY BATTLE Chechnya War 1994 1995
The First Battle of Grozny was the Russian Army's invasion and subsequent conquest of the Chechen capital, Grozny, during the early months of the First Chechen War. The attack lasted from December 1994 to March 1995, resulted in the military occupation of the city by the Russian Army and rallied most of the Chechen nation around the separatist government of Dzhokhar Dudayev.
The initial assault resulted in very high Russian Army casualties and an almost complete breakdown of morale in the Russian forces.

First Chechen War
T-80B and T-80BV were never used in Afghanistan in the 1980s to keep the tank's characteristics a secret, but they were first used during the First Chechen War. This first real combat experience for T-80 was unsuccessful, as the tanks were used to capture cities, a task for which they were not very well suited due to the low depression and elevation of the 2A46-M1 gun on all Russian MBTs.
The biggest tank losses were suffered during the ill-fated assault in the Battle of Grozny, which began in December 1994. During three months of combat, Russia lost 18 of the 84 T-80 tanks used between the 133rd Tank Battalion and 3rd Tank Battalion.[35] The forces selected to capture Grozny were not prepared for such an operation, while the city was defended by, among others, former S...

This two-part documentary (second part here: https://youtu.be/f7OVGtW2u6E) produced by M. Polunin and O. Zaytsev for the Russian television company NN is possibly the most important documentary about the 1994 New Year's assault on Grozny. It was produced only a couple of months after the city was taken, and you can even hear an explosion go off while the Russian-speaking "Pavlov's house" resident is being interviewed.
Dedicated to Alexander Alekseevich Yaroslavtsev, commander of the 81st Samara regiment, who passed away from coronavirus on January 24th, 2021.
Some terminology: APC stands for Armoured Personnel Carrier, in this context it's most likely either a BTR or a BMP.

Grozny's Siege 1994 - English Translation
Didn't see a translation of this interesting dialogue on all of youtube
The dialogue is between colonel Ivan Savin of the 131st motor brigade (nicknamed Alik by his father-name Aleksey, a lot of Chechens knew russian commanders personally because they used to serve together few years earlier in the Caucasus district) and unidentified Chechen commander (most probably Turpal-Ali Atgeriyev) just after Colonel Savin with his brigade took Railway Station. Chechens ask him to leave and come back as a guest and to show mercy to his troops' mothers. Later you can hear Savin asking for artillery support, reinforcements and later agony and cry for help after the station was stormed by Chechens from nearby buildings with grenade launchers and mortars. Savin and almost 90% of his brigade dies with all...

Song: До свиданья, мама - Moralny Kodex
An edit of the most well-known battle of both Chechen Wars - the Battle of Grozny. Starting around Christmas 1994, Russian troops entered the Chechen capital with the intention of capturing it. What ensued was one of the worst military battles the Russian military took part in, as the Russian tanks and armoured personnel carriers were fired down upon with RPGs and other weapons by Chechen forces concealed in Grozny’s vast maze of city streets. The battle showed the great danger found in using armoured vehicles in urban environments, and how important properly coordinating military units was, as Russian units would sometimes end up firing upon one another in the hellish confusion of the battle. The 1000 man strong 131st Maikop Brigade, which played a major role in the invading force, was almost completely decimated in the fighting, as they were pinned down by Chechen forces throughout the city which also prevented them from receiving any meaningful reinforcement from their comrades.
The song I used in this, alongside a good deal of the footage, comes from the 1995 documentary ‘The Betrayed.’ It is a very interesting film and I would definitely recommend it as long as you are not too squeamish. It does an excellent job delving into the sheer bleakness of the First Chechen War and the Battle of Grozny, as it follows a group of Russian mothers trying to find their sons who’ve been left unaccounted for in the war.
My next edit will either be of the cleanup following the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster, the 1980s JGSDF (If I can find good footage) or of the Bosnian Serb or Krajina Serb armies during the Yugoslav Wars, as I’ve just received a great deal of useful footage courtesy of Lonely Hercegovina Warrior.

During three months of combat, Russia lost 18 of the 84 T-80 tanks used between the 133rd Tank Battalion and 3rd Tank Battalion.[35] The forces selected to capture Grozny were not prepared for such an operation, while the city was defended by, among others, former Soviet soldiers. Some T-80 tanks used in the assault lacked explosive reactive armor inserts.[36]
Several tank-to-tank battles were recorded. During the fighting in late December 1994 – early January 1995, Russian T-80 tanks destroyed at least six rebel tanks. On the other side, one T-80 was disabled by the hit of one 125 mm shell,[37] Another T-80 received three or four hits of tank shells but remained in service.[38][39] In August 1996, a T-80 destroyed one rebel tank.[37]
The inexperienced crews had little knowledge of the layout of the city, while the tanks were attacked by rocket-propelled grenade teams hidden in cellars and on top of high buildings. The anti-tank fire was directed at the least armoured points of the vehicles.[40]
In the buildup of forces prior to the assault on Grozny, T-80s had been transferred from depots to units with little experience with the tank. When no auxiliary power unit is equipped, the T-80's gas turbine engines consume almost as much fuel idling as when they are running. Most tank crews inadvertently exhausted their fuel this way on the day of the assault.-
Russian invasion of Ukraine
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces used T-80 tanks alongside T-72s and T-90s.[citation needed] Some were outfitted with improvised steel grilles on top of turrets, pejoratively called "cope cages" as a meme in online communities.[44] These are erroneously thought have been fit to counter top-attack munitions such as the FGM-148 Javelin and loitering munitions; the cage add-on was in fact equipped after concerns regarding urban fighting and experiences acquired during the Chechen conflict, in which several Russian tanks were lost due to shoulder-mounted anti-tank weapon fire from buildings.[45][46]
A number of T-80BVM tanks have been destroyed in Ukraine.[47] As of 10 April a total of 19 tanks were reported destroyed.[48] 57 Russian T-80Us have also been lost. Only 15 were destroyed; 42 were abandoned.[49] As of 10 September 2022, the open-source intelligence site Oryx has visually confirmed the loss of 194 Russian T-80s (72 T-80BV, 2 T-80BVK, 77 T-80U, 2 T-80UK, 5 T-80UE-1, 1 T-80UM2 and 35 T-80BVM),[50][51] and 16 Ukrainian T-80s (16 T-80BV)
--
The T-80 is a main battle tank (MBT)[11] that was designed in the former Soviet Union and also manufactured in Russia. The T-80 is based on the T-64, while incorporating features from the later T-72. The chief designer of the T-80 was Soviet engineer Nikolay Popov. When it entered service in 1976, it was the second MBT in the world to be equipped with a gas turbine engine, after the Swedish Strv 103, and the first to use it as a primary propulsion engine. The T-80U was last produced in 2001 in a factory in Omsk, Russia.
The Ukrainian T-80UD diesel engine variant continued to be produced in Ukraine. The T-80 and its variants are in service in Belarus, Cyprus, Egypt, Kazakhstan,[13] Pakistan, #russia , South Korea, #ukraine and Uzbekistan. Ukraine further developed the T-80UD as the T-84

The First Battle of Grozny was the Russian Army's invasion and subsequent conquest of the Chechen capital, Grozny, during the early months of the First Chechen War. The attack lasted from December 1994 to March 1995, resulted in the military occupation of the city by the Russian Army and rallied most of the Chechen nation around the government of Dzhokhar Dudayev.

Zaytsev for the Russian television company NN is possibly the most important documentary about the 1994 New Year's assault on Grozny. It was produced only a couple of months after the city was taken, and you can even hear an explosion go off while the Russian-speaking "Pavlov's house" resident is being interviewed.
Dedicated to Alexander Alekseevich Yaroslavtsev, commander of the 81st Samara regiment, who passed away from coronavirus on January 24th, 2021.
Some terminology: APC stands for Armoured Personnel Carrier, in this context it's most likely either a BTR or a BMP.

Didn't see a translation of this interesting dialogue on all of youtube
The dialogue is between colonel Ivan Savin of the 131st motor brigade (nicknamed Alik by his father-name Aleksey, a lot of Chechens knew russian commanders personally because they used to serve together few years earlier in the Caucasus district) and unidentified Chechen commander (most probably Turpal-Ali Atgeriyev) just after Colonel Savin with his brigade took Railway Station. Chechens ask him to leave and come back as a guest and to show mercy to his troops' mothers. Later you can hear Savin asking for artillery support, reinforcements and later agony and cry for help after the station was stormed by Chechens from nearby buildings with grenade launchers and mortars. Savin and almost 90% of his brigade dies with all the equipment and armored vehicles (also due to friendly artillery fire). Music is by These Trees Could Talk - From Roots to Needles

Song: До свиданья, мама - Moralny Kodex
An edit of the most well-known battle of both Chechen Wars - the Battle of Grozny. Starting around Christmas 1994, Russian troops entered the Chechen capital with the intention of capturing it. What ensued was one of the worst military battles the Russian military took part in, as the Russian tanks and armoured personnel carriers were fired down upon with RPGs and other weapons by Chechen forces concealed in Grozny’s vast maze of city streets. The battle showed the great danger found in using armoured vehicles in urban environments, and how important properly coordinating military units was, as Russian units would sometimes end up firing upon one another in the hellish confusion of the battle. The 1000 man strong 131st Maikop Brigade, which played a major role in the invading force, was almost completely decimated in the fighting, as they were pinned down by Chechen forces throughout the city which also prevented them from receiving any meaningful reinforcement from their comrades.
The song I used in this, alongside a good deal of the footage, comes from the 1995 documentary ‘The Betrayed.’ It is a very interesting film and I would definitely recommend it as long as you are not too squeamish. It does an excellent job delving into the sheer bleakness of the First Chechen War and the Battle of Grozny, as it follows a group of Russian mothers trying to find their sons who’ve been left unaccounted for in the war.
My next edit will either be of the cleanup following the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster, the 1980s JGSDF (If I can find good footage) or of the Bosnian Serb or Krajina Serb armies during the Yugoslav Wars, as I’ve just received a great deal of useful footage courtesy of Lonely Hercegovina Warrior.
The First Battle of Grozny was the Russian Army's invasion and subsequent conquest of the Chechen capital, Grozny, during the early months of the First Chechen War. The attack lasted from December 1994 to March 1995, resulted in the military occupation of the city by the Russian Army and rallied most of the Chechen nation around the separatist government of Dzhokhar Dudayev.
The initial assault resulted in very high Russian Army casualties and an almost complete breakdown of morale in the Russian forces. It took them another two months of heavy fighting, and a change in their tactics, before they were able to capture Grozny. The battle caused enormous destruction and casualties amongst the civilian population and saw the heaviest bombing campaign in Europe since the end of World War II

First Chechen War
T-80B and T-80BV were never used in Afghanistan in the 1980s to keep the tank's characteristics a secret, but they were first used during the First Chechen War. This first real combat experience for T-80 was unsuccessful, as the tanks were used to capture cities, a task for which they were not very well suited due to the low depression and elevation of the 2A46-M1 gun on all Russian MBTs.
The biggest tank losses were suffered during the ill-fated assault in the Battle of Grozny, which began in December 1994. During three months of combat, Russia lost 18 of the 84 T-80 tanks used between the 133rd Tank Battalion and 3rd Tank Battalion.[35] The forces selected to capture Grozny were not prepared for such an operation, while the city was defended by, among others, former Soviet soldiers. Some T-80 tanks used in the assault lacked explosive reactive armor inserts.[36]
Several tank-to-tank battles were recorded. During the fighting in late December 1994 – early January 1995, Russian T-80 tanks destroyed at least six rebel tanks. On the other side, one T-80 was disabled by the hit of one 125 mm shell,[37] Another T-80 received three or four hits of tank shells but remained in service.[38][39] In August 1996, a T-80 destroyed one rebel tank.[37]
The inexperienced crews had little knowledge of the layout of the city, while the tanks were attacked by rocket-propelled grenade teams hidden in cellars and on top of high buildings. The anti-tank fire was directed at the least armoured points of the vehicles.[40]
In the buildup of forces prior to the assault on Grozny, T-80s had been transferred from depots to units with little experience with the tank. When no auxiliary power unit is equipped, the T-80's gas turbine engines consume almost as much fuel idling as when they are running. Most tank crews inadvertently exhausted their fuel this way on the day of the assault.-
Russian invasion of Ukraine
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces used T-80 tanks alongside T-72s and T-90s.[citation needed] Some were outfitted with improvised steel grilles on top of turrets, pejoratively called "cope cages" as a meme in online communities.[44] These are erroneously thought have been fit to counter top-attack munitions such as the FGM-148 Javelin and loitering munitions; the cage add-on was in fact equipped after concerns regarding urban fighting and experiences acquired during the Chechen conflict, in which several Russian tanks were lost due to shoulder-mounted anti-tank weapon fire from buildings.[45][46]
A number of T-80BVM tanks have been destroyed in Ukraine.[47] As of 10 April a total of 19 tanks were reported destroyed.[48] 57 Russian T-80Us have also been lost. Only 15 were destroyed; 42 were abandoned.[49] As of 10 September 2022, the open-source intelligence site Oryx has visually confirmed the loss of 194 Russian T-80s (72 T-80BV, 2 T-80BVK, 77 T-80U, 2 T-80UK, 5 T-80UE-1, 1 T-80UM2 and 35 T-80BVM),[50][51] and 16 Ukrainian T-80s (16 T-80BV)
--
The T-80 is a main battle tank (MBT)[11] that was designed in the former Soviet Union and also manufactured in Russia. The T-80 is based on the T-64, while incorporating features from the later T-72. The chief designer of the T-80 was Soviet engineer Nikolay Popov. When it entered service in 1976, it was the second MBT in the world to be equipped with a gas turbine engine, after the Swedish Strv 103, and the first to use it as a primary propulsion engine. The T-80U was last produced in 2001 in a factory in Omsk, Russia.
The Ukrainian T-80UD diesel engine variant continued to be produced in Ukraine. The T-80 and its variants are in service in Belarus, Cyprus, Egypt, Kazakhstan,[13] Pakistan, #russia , South Korea, #ukraine and Uzbekistan. Ukraine further developed the T-80UD as the T-84

It took them another two months of heavy fighting, and a change in their tactics, before they were able to capture Grozny. The battle caused enormous destruction and casualties amongst the civilian population and saw the heaviest bombing campaign in Europe since the end of World War II. Chechen separatist forces recaptured the city in August 1996, ending the war.
Tactics
The Chechen fighters had the advantage in that they were highly motivated and familiar with the terrain. As Soviet citizens, they spoke and were educated in Russian and had served in the Soviet armed forces. Many (like their Russian adversaries) had Soviet uniforms. Chechen units were divided into combat groups consisting of 15 to 20 personnel, subdivided into three or four-man fire teams. A fire team consisted of an anti-tank gunner, usually armed with Russian-made RPG-7s or RPG-18s, as well as a machine gunner and a rifleman. To destroy Russian armoured vehicles in Grozny, five or six hunter-killer fire teams deployed at ground level, in second and third stories, and in basements. The snipers and machine gunners would pin down the supporting infantry while the antitank gunners would engage the armoured vehicle aiming at the top, rear and sides of vehicles.
