From my knowledge there was no storming the terrorists. What happened was they released gas thru the AC and put everyone out. Poison gas so many dies but then the Russian soldiers walked in and shot anyone looking suspicious. Most of the civilians deaths were from the poison gas. Not from the terrorists. And guess what. The Chechens are homies with the Russians now. They sending their soldiers side by side with the Russians to attack Ukraine. How ironic. Canβt imagine being that chechen patriot giving up my life to fight an enemey. After I die you guys became buddies. What did I die for???The Moscow theater hostage crisis (also known as the 2002 Nord-Ost siege) was the seizure of the crowded Dubrovka Theater by Chechen terrorists on 23 October 2002, which involved 850 hostages and ended with Russian security services killing or causing the death of at least 170 people. The attackers, led by Movsar Barayev, claimed allegiance to the Islamist separatist movement in Chechnya. They demanded the withdrawal of Russian forces from Chechnya and an end to the Second Chechen War.
Due to the layout of the theater, special forces would have had to fight through 30 metres (100 ft) of corridor and advance up a well-defended staircase before they could reach the hall in which the hostages were held. The attackers had numerous explosives, with the most powerful in the center of the auditorium. Spetsnaz operators from Federal Security Service (FSB) Alpha and Vympel, supported by a Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) SOBR unit, pumped a chemical agent into the building's ventilation system and began the rescue operation.

All 40 of the insurgents were shot dead when unconscious, and up to 130 hostages died during the siege, including 9 foreigners, due to the toxic substance pumped into the theater. The identity of the gas was not disclosed at the time, although it was believed by some to have been a fentanyl derivative, such as carfentanil.
A study published in 2012 concluded that it had been a mixture of carfentanil and remifentanyl. The same study pointed out that in a 2011 case at the European Court of Human Rights, the Russian government stated that the aerosol used was a mixture of a fentanyl derivative and a chemical compound with a narcotic action.

The number of estimated casualties varies widely because many hostages remained unaccounted for and were not included in the official list. Some estimates have put the civilian death toll at more than 200 with 204 names on one list, or even 300, including people who died during the year after the siege from complications from the poison gas. Some former hostages and relatives of the victims claim that the death toll from the chemical agent is being kept secret. According to official numbers, 40 terrorists and about 130 hostages died during the raid or in the following days.

Most of the civilians deaths were from the poison gas. Not from the terrorists. And guess what. The Chechens are homies with the Russians now. They sending their soldiers side by side with the Russians to attack Ukraine. How ironic. Canβt imagine being that chechen patriot giving up my life to fight an enemey.

As a kite...So they died high?
Most of those who survived had either been released by the Chechens or rescued unharmed before the gas was released. Those who survived the gas would go on to develop life-long negative effects from the gas. But a tough call for authorities on just what to do, especially when the Chechens were outfitted with explosives that were also rigged up in various locations.I requested this thread. You delivered.
Well done
I think the use of gas was quite intuitive. 80% of hostages survived.
Had the explosives been detonated, one can assume the survival rate would have been less.
I think I had read somewhere that they did have gas masks.I wonder if the Chechens had thought of the possibility of them being gassed, while planning their dirty deed
They've been enemies for centuries. Interesting though is that Kadyrovite forces have fought alongside the Russian forces, while the Dzhokhar Dudayev Battalion, Sheikh Mansur Battalion, Separate Special Purpose Battalion and the Khamzat Gelayev Joint Task Detachment have fought on the Ukrainian side.It's weird how Chechnya has been at conflict with Russia for a while now vlad poutine is now sucking kadyrovs dick.
It takes about 10 seconds.Must have been a swift knock-out?
Yeah all those regions have retards apparently, don't know what side they wanna be on. Same thing with Dagestan. They say they wanna be separated from Russia on one hand then say they're proud to be Russian.They've been enemies for centuries.
