If the US military fought a war in Chechnya, although the first time it was due to the carelessness of the Russian army and underestimation of the enemy, we have to admit that the quality of the Chechen army is very high.

I need to remind the poster that there are several reasons why the Russian tank unit suffered heavy losses in the Chechen War. First, as the poster mentioned, the Chechen army is of high quality because they are all veterans of the old Soviet Union. Second, the Chechnya region is a mountainous area. Generally, armored units cannot deploy in mountains. Once they cannot deploy and gather together, they are easily hit by artillery fire. Third, ordinary people in Chechnya are spontaneously setting up obstacles to hinder the advancement of Russian tanks. Fourth, due to the high altitude and densely forested mountainous areas in Chechnya, the Russian air force can easily become a target. Coupled with the harsh climate conditions in Chechnya, the Russian Air Force is unable to provide fire support to the Russian army on the ground. If a modern army leaves the air force, it will definitely suffer defeat. I think these reasons are the main reasons for the heavy losses of Russian tanks.

If it were the US military, the outcome would be the same. I have never seen a tank unit fighting in mountains without suffering heavy casualties. And the situation for the U.S. military could be even worse. Because the U.S. military relies on its strong air force and material capabilities for survival, and once the U.S. military enters Chechnya, due to political constraints, the supplies for the U.S. military attacking Chechnya must be airborne from Turkey. As I said before, the terrain in Chechnya is not conducive to the air force at all. Even if you take a helicopter there, you have to fly at low altitude to drop supplies. However, even ordinary RPG rocket launchers can hit it. You don’t know where the call came from or when it came. By the time you realize it, they have already run away. Even if Russia is willing to provide supplies, due to the limitations of Russia's economic conditions and the notorious consumption of the US military, these supplies may not last long. The Russian army's transport convoys are often attacked, so supplies come very slowly. Therefore, if the US military goes to fight Chechnya, it will definitely end up the same as the US or even worse.

If a country uses biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, it will definitely win. However, international conventions clearly stipulate that they cannot be used. If you use them, other countries will follow suit, and the world will be in chaos. Moreover, Russia has said that Chechnya is an integral part of Russian territory. Russia does not use these, and you, the United States, are not qualified to use them.

Finally, in order to directly reflect the hardships of the Chechen war, I recommend you to watch "Storm Gate", which is about the Russian army's battle in Chechnya.
