They waited for days inside the pipe? Wtf these guys are crazy.
That's what the one guy they interviewed about this is saying. Could be true; crazier things have happened in wars.
Although you'd think they'd want to keep the details of the execution secret in case they want to try doing something similar in the future.
In cases like this i would assume it's not uncommon to mix in some lies with the truth in order to obfuscate how it was really done. Like for instance, if they did it in two days, say it was done in four. Admit what you can't hide and change in small, plausible ways the details that the enemy is still in the dark about, such that they will be operating on faulty intelligence next time.
Of course they'd need the soldiers who were involved to go along with this and not get angry that their story is being told wrong...
Or maybe they really are telling us exactly how it happened because they figure this stuff will leak out eventually anyway. For me this is the simplest and most likely explanation, because it is very hard nowadays to keep things secret for long when the other side has a sophisticated intelligence network.
In any case this whole thing makes for a great story for the domestic Russian media. I expect that at some point in the not too distant future we will see Putin handing out some Hero of Russia medals to the people involved. And why not? If the story is true they deserve it.
