What you see here in action actually is the result of 6+ months of western training. It consists of the following steps:

1. Use massive satellite imagery to identify weak spots in the Russian defence line(s).

2. Use fast mobile elements to break through the weak spots (possibly using artillery support).

3. Do NOT fight with the units that broke through. Drive on, actually away from the battlefield...

4. Turn back and attack the Russian spots from the sides or even from behind, and now from the front as well.

5. Enjoy Russian panic when they realise they are surrounded by unknown enemy forces.

This operation has yielded the large territorial gains in the last few days/week. Notice this requires extremely precise coordination of all elements involved, otherwise you are killing your own people. This is why we'll see these images from now on. This is a tactic that requires long training and working command and communication structures. Something the Russians/Chechens/local tribes do not have and won't have in the foreseeable future.
