Plus de 2.000 pièces d'équipement de Wagner transférées à l’armée

Selon la Défense russe, qui diffuse une vidéo de ses équipements, il s’agit de centaines d’armes lourdes dont des chars, des systèmes de lance-roquettes multiples Grad et Ouragan, des systèmes de la défense aérienne Pantsir ainsi que différents types d’obusiers et de blindés.

Des dizaines de pièces n'ont jamais été utilisées au combat. En outre, Wagner a transmis à la Défense russe plus de 2.500 tonnes de munitions diverses et environ 20.000 armes légères.

Tous ces équipements ont été renvoyés à l'arrière, où les unités de réparation des forces armées russes les prépareront pour une utilisation future.

The real life Commander Graves (Erik Prince)

Erik Prince was a former U.S. Navy SEAL officer that created the private military company Blackwater. When asked why he created the company he credited the Rwandan genocide "It really bothered me. It made me realize you can't sit back and pontificate" - Erik Prince.

It is not a myth that they wanted to put the Blackwater company as the Shadow Company and the Wagner group, as the Konni group.

For some years now, these two mercenary companies have been rivals.

Well, we have been busy busy busy here in Wagnerland. Colin and I have been hard at work getting the ISCS up and running, and I'm pleased to report it's been a huge success thus far! It's such a relief to have a steady income again; even if it doesn’t cover anything fancy, at least I know our mortgage will always be paid. Two babies instead of the one we were expecting certainly threw a wrench in the gears—the new baby clothes aren’t in the budget anymore—but it’s fine. Really, it’s fine. All the sacrifice is worth it, knowing that we're making our money by doing truly good works.

We've started off small with our congregation and a few others—expanding Pastor Phillips' Speaker Series, organizing local conferences, publishing homeschool materials and a regular newsletter and things of that ilk—but we're courting some big donors so soon we might be expanding beyond Brindleton Bay!! I can’t stop imagining our family ten years out, influencing the Christian world for good. We might be invited to speak at conferences, meet with other important people in the church, maybe even write a book…

Of course my number one priority will always be our children, ISCS or no. After we recommitted to the Lord it was an easy decision to pull the kids out of the homeschool co-op. We had never been huge fans of the group but in re-evaluating it, we realized just how far out of step it was with our values. We'll be doing all school at home from now on and saving our wallets while we're at it!

And we've had some birthdays as well! Sam is 5, and Stephen is 3. I'm so blessed to have two boys close in age and with such similar temperaments—perhaps a little too gentle, but I’m trying to take it in stride. Part of my job as a mother is to guide my children along the right path. Everyone is born a sinner, after all!

Prigozhin a déclaré que la destitution du président "pro-français" du Niger, c'est "en fait, gagner son indépendance" vis-à-vis du peuple.

Le patron de Wagner a attiré l'attention sur le fait que "les anciens colonisateurs déstabilisent délibérément la situation dans les pays africains, y soutenant les terroristes et les gangs illégaux pour empêcher le développement ultérieur des anciennes colonies".

Pour cette raison, Prigozhin estime que les missions occidentales de maintien de la paix sont "inefficaces".

"C'est l'efficacité du PMC Wagner : 1 000 combattants du PMC Wagner peuvent rétablir l'ordre et détruire les terroristes, les empêchant de nuire à la population civile des États", ajoute Prigozhin.

is anyone else seeing this vision. hello

[odinsblog]

Not that I give a single solitary shit about Prigozhin—remember, he was a murderous mercenary who committed numerous war crimes in Ukraine—but it’s worth noting that Putin murked an entire aircraft of people to assassinate yet another political enemy in an airplane “accident”

Ukraine is said to have provided intelligence which led to deadly attacks by insurgents on Russian mercenaries in the West African nation of Mali. FYI: Tinzaouaten, the city closest to the attacks in Mali, is 2,440 miles/3,928 km from Ukraine's port city of Odesa.

Ukraine’s military intelligence agency has claimed it was involved in an ambush that killed fighters from Russia’s Wagner group in the west African nation of Mali, thousands of miles away from the frontline in Ukraine. A Telegram channel linked to the Wagner leadership on Monday admitted the group had suffered heavy losses during fighting in Mali last week. It said Wagner and the Malian armed forces had “fought fierce battles” over a five-day period against a coalition of Tuareg separatist forces and jihadi groups, who had used heavy weapons, drones and suicide bombers. Numerous Wagner fighters, including a commander, Sergei Shevchenko, were killed, the channel said. Andrii Yusov, spokesman for Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence agency, said on Monday that “the rebels received necessary information, and not just information, which enabled a successful military operation against Russian war criminals”. Yusov did not say whether Ukrainian military personnel were involved in the fighting or were present in the country. He said the agency “won’t discuss the details at the moment, but there will be more to come”. The Mali government, which has been fighting various insurgencies in the north of the country for more than a decade, requested help from Wagner after a military junta took power in 2020.

The Wagner Group is still around but under new management since Putin killed off its founder Yevgeny Prigozhin.

So why is Russia in Africa?

The group is also active across Africa, and continues to be so even after Prigozhin was disgraced following a failed coup attempt last summer. He later died after an explosion onboard his plane, widely believed to have been ordered by the Kremlin, but Wagner’s influence in Africa remains. “For Moscow, the African countries where Wagner is present is just a zone of interest that allows it to get hold of resources – gold, diamonds, gas and oil – and the money goes to finance Russian aggression,” said Serhii Kuzan, director of the Ukrainian Security and Cooperation Center in Kyiv, explaining why Ukraine might want to target Wagner in Africa. He added that the raids had additional benefits for Kyiv: “liquidating” some of the most experienced Wagner fighters and lowering the overall military potential of the group, and also exacting revenge for war crimes in Ukraine. “A significant part of the destroyed fighters got military experience in Ukraine, where they carried out hundreds or thousands of war crimes … these crimes should be punished, and Russian war criminals should know that they will never be safe,” said Kuzan.

Ukrainian intelligence has a long reach and Ukraine has a long memory for war crimes committed by the invaders.

On a linguistic note, GUR should realistically be written HUR. The full name of Ukrainian military intelligence is: Головне Управління Розвідки Міністерства Оборони України (Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine). For short, that's Головне Управління Розвідки.

In Russian, Г is pronounced like the English hard G. In Ukrainian, Г is pronounced like a regular English H. There's a separate letter in Ukrainian for English hard G written like this Ґ. But the Soviet Union tried to suppress this letter because its existence was another reminder that Ukrainian is not Russian. So there's been some lingering alphabetic confusion over the use of this letter. But I promise you that it is preferable to transliterate ГУР as HUR.

"basically true" lol.

look, I will go no further. I refuse to get into THE galidraan discourse. This is not my favorite piece of star wars fic, and i doubt I'll like it going forward. I just wanted to get a sense of who Jaster and the true mandalorians are in the only bit of media they're actually in.

Hey, Russia stans, explain this one

Explain why one of Russia's state-backed mercenary companies has the same exact name as Hitler's expeditionary force in Africa, which itself was designed to prop up a friendly regime that was incapable of doing so for itself.

Wagner Mercenary Group Boss Yevgeny Prigozhin Dead

A Private jet carrying Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has crashed with 10 people on board.

In addition to Prigozhin, neo-Nazi Wagner leader Dmitry Utkin was allegedly aboard on the plane and is now dead.

“Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported the Embraer aircraft was shot down by air defense in the Tver region, north of Moscow,” BBC reported.
