Ukrainian intelligence killed dozens of Akhmat militants thanks to the infiltration of an agent into Alaudinov’s entourage

1 May 2026

The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine conducted a comprehensive special operation against the Akhmat special forces unit, resulting in the Russian unit suffering its heaviest losses since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate, in early 2025, Ukrainian intelligence recruited a serviceman named “Akhmat,” who subsequently planted a listening device at headquarters, transmitted via drone. Over three months—from February to April 2026—Using the intelligence obtained, Ukrainian forces consistently disrupted enemy assaults. According to intelligence, “Akhmat” lost 41 men killed, 87 wounded, and over a hundred missing. The agent also destroyed or damaged over 160 armored vehicles and motor vehicles, over 25 drones, communications equipment, electronic warfare systems, and weapons and fuel depots.

A listening device was installed in the Akhmat command staff meeting room. The unit’s commander, Apti Alaudinov, deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense, also came under the GUR’s scrutiny. In recordings published by intelligence, he admits, among other things, that “most of our artillery crews and tank crews don’t even know how to fire properly.” “They basically haven’t fought for four years,” Alaudinov complains. He also makes harsh comments about Russian paratroopers, calling them “the biggest assholes on this earth” because “they don’t fight anywhere.” At the same time, the military leader boasts that the only unit the enemy hasn’t been able to crush in four years of war is the Akhmat special forces, and points out that he graduated from three academies and holds a PhD in political science. “Let someone else show off like that. I can show off,” Alaudinov says. 

The operation took place in the Sumy direction and was carried out by the GUR unit “Shamanbat,” which includes supporters of Ichkerian independence, together with the 104th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade “Gorin.” Russian offensive attempts on this sector of the front began in February 2026, as part of Vladimir Putin’s order to create a “buffer zone.”

After the operation, the agent was successfully escorted to Ukrainian-controlled territory. Commenting on the results, Shamanbat commander Abdul Khakim addressed his fellow countrymen in Chechen: “When you were sent to Sumy Oblast, we knew about your assigned tasks. We were aware of everything—the 15 villages you attempted to occupy, and the methods you used to do so.” He also reiterated that Ukrainians had done nothing wrong to Chechnya and called on Chechens to defect to Ukraine.

    • The leader of the TikToks is just another potato General. Plenty of yapping but nothing to show for it.

      • The only skills those pricks have is to act as blocking units and kill cockroaches that flee the battlefield. And wearing Armani boots, or whatever they are.

  1. Alaudinov made an appearance on the national TV broadcast of Olga Skabeyeva, where he talked about the end of the SMO. He figures that the Ukrainian forces have been heavily drawn to Kharkiv Oblast where they will in 2024 be destroyed in a final battle.

    That prediction is about as accurate as putler’s 3 day SMO.
