In just six months, thanks to the skillful actions of Yamadayev, more than three hundred barrels and a lot of ammunition were delivered.

Dzhabrail signed a contract with the military and led the special forces. He was later converted to the Vostok battalion. The unit was part of the Russian mountain group of troops, most of the fighters were Chechens, and Sulim Yamadayev was at the head of the battalion.
