Gunei Mountain Area, Eastern Edge.
Two "Typhoon" K-63969 anti-ambush vehicles lay quietly immobilized at the entrance of a dirt ditch.
A group of 1515 Armed militants, dressed in mixed camouflage uniforms with black headscarves, were cautiously approaching the two anti-mine ambush vehicles from three directions in a loose skirmish line formation.
Their AK-47, AKM, and a few AK-74 rifles were pointed vigilantly at the vehicles, fingers resting lightly on the triggers.
The leader, wielding a well-maintained AK-74, shouted loudly in Arabic with a heavy Northern Caucasus accent, trying to dispel his subordinates' unease with his voice, while urging them to inspect the vehicles.
"Quick! Warriors of Allah, what are you afraid of! Look at the good stuff these heretics have left behind! There must be usable weapons inside, precious ammunition, and those expensive communication devices! Bring them all out! Whoever finds them first gets a priority share!"
