The 249th Separate Special Motorized Battalion "South" is a military formation within the 46th Separate Operational Purpose Brigade of the Russian National Guard, stationed in the Vedensky District of the Chechen Republic.^[1] It is considered one of the elite units in the Russian Federation. It was formed on May 29, 2006, during the Second Chechen War , and since then has taken an active part in conducting more than 6,960 different counter-terrorist operations in the North Caucasus Federal District.^[1]

On April 27, 2007, in the Shatoi region, a Mi-8 helicopter crashed, carrying 3 crew members and 15 battalion fighters. All on board were killed. There are three versions of the crash: technical malfunction, pilot error, and militant shelling.
