Alaudinov called the historic operation "throw through the pipe" in the Kursk region.

On March 9, the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Major General Apti Alaudinov, published a moment of parting words and preparation of the fighters for the historic operation "throw through the pipe." During the conversation with the fighters, he noted that a man has the right to fear, but the hero must overcome it along with the pain and move on, completing the task.

"When we complete this task, the course of this conflict will completely change. <...> I would like to ask you to prepare as much as possible, to do everything so that you and I can be counted on for five days," he told the soldiers.

It is specified that the Aida assault group and the Timso group signalmen performed their tasks at the highest level — professionally and efficiently.

As Alaudinov emphasized, the unique operation of a multi-kilometer underground entry into Suju to the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will be included not only in textbooks for special services, but also in Russian history textbooks as an event that brilliantly demonstrated the fearless spirit and granite determination of Russian fighters.
