The head of PMC "Wagner" spoke about the importance of Artemovsk for the entire NVO

Military commissar Semyon Pegov interviewed Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of Wagner PMC. The conversation, during which the journalist asked many questions that shed light on the work and tasks of the Russian private military company, took place directly on the front line.

One of the topics discussed, which is of interest to many of our fellow citizens today, concerned the “million American volunteers” and the termination of the recruitment of convicts into the ranks of PMCs.

Yevgeny Prigozhin explained that the end of the recruitment was connected with the completion of the previously existing program, which included not only the "hiring" of convicts, but also their enhanced training for the fulfillment of the assigned tasks. The latter, as the head of the PMC noted, lasts up to a month and a half and takes up to 20 hours a day.

Regarding the million Americans who want to join the ranks of the Russian PMC and fight against the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO, Prigozhin "hinted" that it was a joke.

They really want to go risk their lives in the NWO zone, but only in a computer game

- added the head of PMC "Wagner".

Also during the conversation, Pegov asked why Prigozhin's organization does not talk about their successes, like the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Happiness loves silence

- answered Evgeny Viktorovich.

Speaking of success. As the head of the Russian PMC explained, the information about the encirclement and the imminent capture of Artemovsk is not entirely true. Safe paths leading to the city still remain, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not blocked.

Meanwhile, Prigozhin spoke about the importance of Artemovsk for the entire NVO, adding that its quick release is not now a top priority.

The head of the PMC "Wagner" explained that Artemovsk today plays the role of a kind of "magnet", where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are constantly transferring their reserves, making up for colossal losses. This allows the RF Armed Forces to simultaneously conduct operations in other areas that the Ukrainian command fails to strengthen.

Ultimately, according to Prigozhin, Artemovsk will be taken. But, as Evgeny Viktorovich put it, this is a big city and it is not advisable to take it head-on. Therefore, PMC fighters are now making coverage from the flanks.

Finally, the head of a Russian private military company spoke about the ideology of his organization.

PMC "Wagner" is a team in which there is an ideal management. Each commander hears his fighter from below. It is possible to grow up until you hit the ceiling. The ideology is that you are a person with an increased amount of adrenaline, who (a person) needs your team and your country

- said Yevgeny Prigozhin.

There would be more such groups in life, where they hear the initiative from below. And in the SVO in the first place.

Any small elite team, such as a squad or a hird, will always be more effective than the royal army .. But its main problem stems directly from its elitism - in principle, it cannot be large. On a big one - you can’t recruit elite fighters, and commanders, and it’s physically impossible to manage a hundred thousand fighters in the same way as, say, a hundred .. Whether you like it or not, you can’t do without the army bureaucracy. With all its negative sides.

This "small team", according to the most conservative estimates, is between 30 and 50 employees.

Yes, the army bureaucracy is working at an accelerated pace. There was news that they stopped replenishing b / c tanks, 152 mm howitzers, ... they beg from anyone they can. It turns out that THEY are like a bone in the throat of our MO. Therefore, they do not want to report on them in the reports.

Hm. And where did you see information about the state of affairs in this PMC? Maybe interviews of former mercenaries, investigative journalism? Or judge by the words of its owner? Well, if you listen to VVP and Co., then everything is very good with us.

right questions! For me, the regular army is better, where everything is according to the charter .. and the officers are literate .. (whom you won’t meet with fire during the day) .. The NVO revealed the collapse of the regular army, the collapse of the officer corps as a result of the abolition of military schools and so on .. The men are fighting, as God put it .. Private companies, self-taught LDNR, Cossacks, Chechens, volunteers and so on - this is not an army, this is Chapaevshchina .. they are of course heroes ... but the army doesn’t smell here, that’s why the men are double heroes !!.
more trained and militarily literate airborne forces - at least they have a working officer corps, there is interaction.

That is why we have tactical successes, and operational and strategic failures.
And it should be the other way around.

Up to a month and a half ... from three days.

And this is from the interview.

An acquaintance - for two weeks he says they dragged him both day and night, they said you would command, they gave 12 snouts .. practically no one had ever held a weapon in their hands before, including my volunteer friend ... and stormed the forest belt to the front of everyone .. they promised to work as a tank along the lane, but it didn’t start .. let’s go forward with the assigned infantry fighting vehicle .. they took the lane and, as luck would have it, our tank started up and came to work on the BC along the very lane that they had already taken and rolled off, but on the other hand a ukrov tank rolled up .. just worked and left the same .... that's how they fight ...

[gromit]

Curious article.
The clause about losses is especially curious, there is no smell of any 1k15. And about a salary of 100 pieces, as if they work in a taxi.

The concept itself is certainly interesting, to re-educate and give people a new meaning of life and self-respect.

Well, at least the promised money is paid. And the preparation lasts just 1,5 months.

In terms of numbers, approximately, an army corps with its own front-line aviation, operating in the authorized offensive zone.

Who would doubt that. Very funny...

Prigogine is young! The man is smart and has a sense of humor. I would like to wish the guys from his orchestra - mow, burn, uproot dill!

The key city in the Donbass is Kramatorsk, and before it the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, storming the fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the forehead, as far as the moon.
Kramatorsk, together with Krasny Liman, Slavyansk, Druzhkovka and Konstantinovka, make up the last, but extremely powerful line of fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass, and if it is still stormed head-on, then it will not be taken earlier than in three years.

Artyomovsk - Bakhmut - just the foreground of the Luhansk region.
