Russia | The Third Coup

[HeadlessSeeker]

Moscow, Russia
​

Early in the morning when the sun was just starting to rise over the horizon on this cool morning the usual hustle and bustle of morning Moscow was supplemented by what seemed like an endless convoy of Ural-4320 trucks, loaded to the brim with fully equipped Russian troops. Multiple other pieces of equipment could be seen rolling in. 2S3M2 Akatsiya and Prima Multiple launch rocket system could be seen in far fewer numbers, while the aged ASU-85 could be at the very front of this convoy. Streets were blocked off by dismounted troops keeping cars from blocking the convoy. They made stops at government installations, dismounted, and seemingly guarded the place after entering. Most alarming of all was the fact that the convoy made it's way to the Kremlin itself, grounding the complex, dismounting, and entering inside. This was the 1st Motor Rifle Division from the Kubinka air base, and they moved quickly and effectively. From the other side of the city came the 2nd Motor Rifle Division the two divisions encompassing Moscow and filtering through it trying to take every governmental place of importance. However, the Kremlin would not be taken lightly.

​

Gunfire errupted, preventing the dismounted troops of the 1st Motor Rifle Battalion from entering the Kremlin. Spetsnaz Gru had accompanied them and were seemingly in charge of the storming. Rifle fire was being exchanged between both sides before petering out. Why did it peter out? Seemingly being escorted out of the Kremlin was the officers whom had been firing down at the troops, and they were being escorted by Alpha Spetsnaz. With the defenders having been seemingly taken care of from the inside the Infantry and Gru began to flood into the Kremlin itself. A contrast the heavy street fighting from 1993. This had all been seemingly planned out and well coordinated.

​

By now news and footage of this happening in Russia was starting to get out, those not in Moscow would soon be awake to the fact that something was going down there. Alpha Spetsnaz having abandoned their posts and indeed helping the sieging Infantry Divisions and GRU. This was a scene the world was no doubt used to, first in 1991, and then again in 1993. The war in Chechnya had ended not to along ago, and rather disastrously for Russia. Government officials with bags over their head would be dragged out from the building. Suddenly, an old flag would be raised over the Kremlin for the world to see. Oh.
