Battle of Khankala was a failed attempt by the Chechen to counterattack at Khankala from Grozny and Argun using tanks.

Khankala, the former Soviet military base and airstrip at the eastern outskirts of Grozny, also overtaking the main Rostov-Baku highway and cutting direct access into Grozny from Argun was captured in a surprise south-east dash from Tolstoy-Yurt, by a column of Russian troops led by elements of the 104th Airborne Division.
