The war has been one of the fiercest and bloodiest military conflicts in the world at the turn of the millennium as the Russian military and pro-Russian Chechen paramilitary forces struggled to dislodge determined Chechen separatists.

In October 1999, at the beginning of the invasion of Chechnya, Russia was able to deploy in the war zone only 68 transport and attack helicopters – a quarter of the number amassed for the war in Afghanistan, though the number of troops sent to Afghanistan and the second Chechen war is roughly the same.
