Five years on from bloody siege of Moscow theatre

Russia is remembering the victims of one of the deadliest acts of terror in its history - the Moscow Dubrovka theatre siege. On October 23, 2002 terrorists took hostage an audience of over 900 people who'd come to see the musical Nord-Ost.

Yeah the Russian SF teams did a fantastic job didnt they! Only hostages dead! What a result! Piss poor planning, teams on the ground not knowing the full plan and an evac and medical cluster-fuck! The whole thing was rushed coz the Kremlin wanted the situation over and dealt with as soon a spossible! SAS, Delta, GSG9, GIGN or other specialist anti terrorist units wouldve done the job after thorough planning and risk assessment! The SAS are the leading unit the world over in this field! FACT

And George Washington was just a puppet of Ronald McDonnald and Bilderberg NWO plans.

No doubt russians kill their own people! (incapable, stupid, lousy, drunk police/army officers)

World has to be place to live !

This problem can be easily solved by Annihilation of all muslims !

The failure was due to terrible communication and pressure from the Kremlin to wrap up the PR nightmare quick.If this had of been the SAS, I'd bet my life there'd be fewer hostages killed than I could count on two hands. It's not fucking Rambo, you can't just go in all guns blazing. The aim is to rescue people, priority is getting hostages out. Precision, bitches.

Very funny. Hostages weren`t killed by the fake "explosives", but by the specnaz... Make a joke about it.

@MaximusProteus

Yes, and Ronald McDonnald was the first president of United States.

@dezzyblade Who you are to judge? Are you from SF unit or know how they work?

But members of SF from other countries came to Russia and learnt this operation. you think that they stupid or something else, maybe you more confident in this?

[Aikay373]

They did the right thing! better use gas and have a few casualties rather than not use and have a much bigger risk of more people dieing!

FSB inside job....

It is too bad that 136 hostages died, they should have had the medical resources prepared to help the hostages. However, in this situation I don't think there could have been any better way to handle the terrorists, they had bombs and were ready to die. Any other type of assault by the Russians would have resulted in a lot more than 136 lost hostages.
