TikTok troops in action: Akhmat special forces commander Alaudinov disgraced himself with a fake video from Sudzha. Video

The commander of Kadyrov's Akhmat unit, Apti Alaudinov, continues to embarrass himself by trying to refute the successes of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in Russia's Kursk region. After claiming that Ukrainian forces were "practically destroyed" and that the Ukrainian Armed Forces "do not control" the district center of Sudzha, he published "video evidence" of the "successes" of the Russian occupiers.

Alaudinov posted a video of the Ukrainian military, with an "explosion" superimposed on the last frames, and this low-level fake outraged even Russian propagandists. The "work" of the leader of the main Russian tik-tokers was published, in particular, by the Telegram channel NEXTA Live.

"Kadyrov's commander Apti Alaudinov lost even where it would seem that he has no equal – on the TikTok front. He posted a roughly edited video of the Ukrainian military, where an explosion allegedly occurs at the end, although there is no such thing in the original video," the statement said.

The footage posted by Alaudinov is altered with filters. The original, which appeared online earlier, was filmed in fairly good quality.

The video posted by the Akhmat commander is darkened and somewhat blurred.

In the last frames of the video, where the original Ukrainian soldier says "Glory to Ukraine" and announces the "opening" of a Ukrainian retailer ATB store on the site of the Russian supermarket Pyaterochka, Alaudinov superimposed sloppily made footage of an "explosion" preceded by the whistle of a supposedly flying shell.

"Akhmat is strong – Russia is powerful – Allah is great," the Kadyrovite commander captioned his work.

The crudely edited fake aroused anger even among Russian propagandists.

"Even Russian propagandists could not stand such a lie and expressed everything they think about Kadyrov's men and their commander. It looks like the editor will be fired, imprisoned, or forced to apologize. Or maybe all of the above," NEXTA Live writes, attaching a screenshot of a message allegedly from the Telegram channel of the Chita State Television and Radio Company.

Propagandists from this state media outlet, as the screenshot shows, were outraged by the fake and the fact that "people like Alaudinov are disgracing the army." The message also blamed Kadyrov's men for the loss of Sudzha and called on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov to "send more Muslims to the front."

At the time of publication of the news, OBOZ.UA did not find such a message on the mentioned resource.

But ordinary Russians, who are Alaudinov's fans, were not so picky. They leave thousands of favorable reactions and pour gratitude and enthusiastic feedback about the "courage" of Kadyrov's men in the comments. Only a few suspected that something was wrong, judging by the commenters who commented on the post.

Earlier, Alaudinov made several false statements about the situation in the Kursk region. For example, he stated that "the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not control Sudzha", although almost simultaneously one of the Ukrainian TV channels broadcast a live broadcast of a film crew located in this city.

In addition, according to the AHMAT commander, the "main forces" of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that had entered the Kursk region had "already been destroyed": at that time, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, was talking about the advance of Ukrainian soldiers and a new "batch" of Russians who had been captured.

Alaudinov also gave an "insight" apparently straight from Bankova Street: according to him, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ordered the army to "take the nuclear power plant in Kurchatov by August 11," after which "Kyiv planned to enter into negotiations with Russia and issue an ultimatum." However, it seems that thanks to Kadyrov's men, who are "valiantly" fleeing from the "shamefully" advancing Ukrainian soldiers, these "plans" were destroyed.

Earlier in the day, Syrskyi said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had completed the clearing of the town of Sudzha and captured more than 100 Russian soldiers.

Meanwhile, a meeting chaired by Zelenskyy was held in Kyiv to discuss the establishment of military commandant's offices in the Kursk region.
