“Ammunition just began to be given like everyone else”: Khodakovsky commented on the situation with ammunition for the Wagner PMC

The problem with the supply of ammunition to PMC "Wagner" went into a wide media field, forcing the Ministry of Defense to make an official statement on this fact and refute the blocking of the supply of shells to the "musicians". Alexander Khodakovsky expressed his point of view on this situation.

According to the commander of the Vostok, the problem is not at all that the Wagnerites have ceased to be supplied with ammunition, but that they have been put on general norms, having begun to be supplied, like other units of the Russian army. They began to give to everyone. Previously, PMCs received more ammunition, they were specially allocated for it Aviation, tactical and cruise missiles, etc. And the "musicians" gave results, moving forward. Now everything has been cut.



Frankly, we envied the "Wagners" in a good way, when they had their own front-line aviation, the daily norm of two Iskanders and one Caliber (...) when they dragged prisoners from all over the country to them ... We envied, but understood that they did not give anyone such a supply - and he will give the same result as they. The result is not only the quantity

- he writes in his TG channel.

According to Khodakovsky, the general norms for the consumption of ammunition on which the Wagner was planted do not allow for a normal offensive, this also applies to units of the Russian army. As an example, he cited the situation near Ugledar, where ours deliberately reduced the daily consumption of ammunition in order to accumulate more shells for the first day of the offensive. Hence the problems with the inability to move on.

Meanwhile, there is no shortage of ammunition at the front, various sources have repeatedly reported this. The Russian military-industrial complex has managed to increase the number of shells of all calibers produced by several times, even exceeding the required volumes.

      Certainly. Warehouses cannot be located closer than 50-60 km to the LBS, otherwise the Hymers will cover. It is difficult and long for supply vehicles to travel such a distance in a war. The consumption of our artillery shells is large. Here is the result.

        Warehouses cannot be located closer than 50-60 km to the LBS, otherwise the Hymers will cover.

        Judging by the events of today, they will have to move 150 km, or leave ammunition depots in the zone of destruction of the Himars.

          More like 1916 than 1915. There are shells. Problems with delivery, logistics. But Brusilov, unfortunately, no. Some Kuropatkins. And these same Kuropatkins did not read books at all about the Brusilov breakthrough.

            Excuse me, Kuropatkin himself wrote a normal book about the REV, moreover, in good language and in a normal presentation of the topic.
            So, Kuropatkin still had the Trans-Siberian Railway behind his back with 6 pairs of trains at the beginning and about 20 pairs later (when we throw a load lifted by a two-axle wagon -24 tons are modern and I’m not sure that so much then) Kuropatkin had the second and third stages of the stock of part of the new formation at the beginning, almost everyone, and only then did corps from European Russia, ferries on Baikal, and fucking smart generals in the GAU and three-inch guns with shrapnel go.
            So, excuse me today, many still need to grow before Kuropatkin (it's just that the Dnieper and Baikal are about supply difficulties, about the width of the water surface)
            This hour is only hope for the soldiers and officers of the front, may the Lord keep them.

              And there was a revolution in the rear of Kuropatkin. Thanks to the Socialist-Revolutionaries, the Cadets, and the Octobrists (nothing to do with the upcoming October Revolution), and of course the RSDLP. But all those forces and means that the revolution diverted to itself could be used on the Japanese front with much greater benefit for the country. Literally a little was not enough, the Japanese economy was already bursting at the seams, Mutsuhito's treasury showed the bottom, and even the impudent people did not want to supply ammunition on credit (at least Japanese naval artillery, and it seems like field artillery, too, used English calibers). But, alas, history cannot be replayed.

                The revolution, to be more precise, after the removal of Kuropatkin from the commanders.
                Yes, and the revolution, in principle, is a response to the results of the war.
                More important is the psychological breakdown of the Imperial entourage.
                The ground forces of Japan were more focused on Germany, the Krupp guns were in the army
                Oddly enough, the Japanese Army and Navy are differently oriented structures, and after a couple of decades, the Japanese Navy was going to land landing units to fight the army.

                  Kuropatkin wrote good books, he was a noble theorist and did a lot in this field, but in practice he couldn’t at all, he could only “regroup” and nothing more, although he had such opportunities.

                Well, firstly, here on the forum a good half, if not more, considers the new revolution a panacea for an early victory. Secondly, it was the distance to industrial centers and the inability to promptly supply weapons and replenishment that played a bad joke on Kuropatkin. Well, the fact that the Far Eastern divisions were of rather low quality in terms of training.

            In the next few days, all requests for ammunition submitted for February will be fully provided for assault units (Wagner) in the NMD zone - Russian Defense Ministry. In turn, Prigozhin said that 20% of the required amount of ammunition is provided. Khodakovsky writes that the supply of ammunition to Wagner was not completely cut off, but was only cut to the norm, which is issued to the rest of the units and divisions of the RF Armed Forces.
            The total number of dead Ukrainian soldiers destroyed by the hands of PMC "Wagner" is about 110 thousand - Prigozhin.
            I want to note that Khodakovsky is wrong. "Wagner" is now on the most difficult sector of the front, where the consumption of shells is the largest and the musicians are pushing through the enemy's defenses. And at the same time, be that as it may, the Marines from the 155th are not yet very successful in defeating the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Vugledar. If the "Wagner" has a limit on ammunition, then in the Bakhmut District, you will get another Ugledar.

            Well, Kuropatkin, he wasn’t a fool at all: once he shot and shot at positions, but then, before the assault, a man from the General Staff arrived and began to teach how to shoot ... the result was shooting not at the Japanese, but at neighboring villages with Koreans and the Chinese. Yes, and the Brusilovsky breakthrough ended very, very sadly, only they amassed a headache with the protection of the Romanian borders. In general, the tsarist officer school was very weak, even in the Second World War, until the young generation of Soviet officers replaced the old people.

          Right!
          Very strongly reminiscent of that situation of the First World War (even wider: 1914-17).
          1. The similarity of the country's unpreparedness for the huge consumption of shells and ammunition by the front. It seems that now it is easier to straighten out, but then the front was larger both in number and in length.
          2. Similarity with logistics problems.
          BUT! There is also a HUGE difference: in the First World War in Russia there was no shortage of wagons in the military department, for the needs of the front. On the contrary, there was a shortage of wagons in the civil circulation of the Ministry of Railways, since part of the country worked according to civil rules and regulations, but sending wagons with cargo to the front, the Ministry of Railways (piece of iron) handed them over to the military department. And then, not particularly worrying about empty cars, they were in no hurry to return them back to the civil department of the Ministry of Railways, accumulated at home, empty and standing in vain! And the civilian Ministry of Railways did not have much opportunity to demand them back, to insist and complain about the military. As a result, there was a problem with the supply of St. Petersburg and the northern cities with grain and food in the winter of 1917, which led to demonstrations, riots, uprisings and the February Revolution.
          Under Stalin, these instructive mistakes were taken into account and at the beginning of the Second World War they immediately transferred the entire economy of the country and all transport to a military regime and military rules.
          We have now even weirder: it’s as if there is no war, there is a NWO - no one thinks about the martial law in Russian Railways. For what? Putin is calm - that means everything will come down anyway!
          3. The similarity is terrible in the sense of trusting the Entente (allies) then and some abstract "world community", already a hundred times violated "international law" and suicidal show off in the sense of following "universal principles", endless attempts to prove to everyone that we are the kindest and most humane, endless efforts not in terms of winning the war, but in the field of propaganda and ideology. One the insane masochistic "grain deal" cost the country!
          Then the Tsar secretly (only the Minister of Finance and the Central Bank knew) sent abroad by sea about 1/3 of the gold reserves of Russia (1450 tons in total) as collateral for loans for the supply of weapons, ammunition, equipment to Russia. The cunning allies and Japan took a pledge, issued a paper loan and ... delivered by 1917 military goods for only 1/4 of this mass of gold, justifying themselves by the fact that "we ourselves need weapons!" Then the revolution, the outgoing ministers, the bourgeois government or the Bolsheviks blew ... somewhere sometime (between February 1917 and March-April 1918) these secret documents (maybe someone bought, stole, destroyed) on bail. And all the gold secretly sent to the West and to Japan quietly and peacefully remained there. Read in detail in this book A.G. Mosyakina "The fate of the gold of the Russian Empire in the context of history. 1880-1922": https://slovo.net.ru/book/86867, and briefly about the shock of the Bolsheviks, who only six months later (for fools!) accidentally discovered "a shortage "1/3 royal gold here: https://flb.ru/3/4189.html
          Now, allegedly not subordinate to the "guarantor", the Central Bank has played abroad 300-310 billion dollars, half of the country's financial reserves - WORSE than under the king (!) and does NOTHING and does not even offer! Moreover, this seems to suit Putin as well, and he does not tear, does not throw, does not offer anything, does not scold the Central Bank. A country didn't do any kickbacks at all on the finances or property of countries that have blocked our finances! This is a pure game of giveaway. The king can be justified by the fact that he was waiting for the weapons to be put up and waited for ... a revolution. And you can’t justify Putin like that ... our finances NOBODY is officially going to return. There were no such statements.

          Oddly enough, among Western countries, the United States is not in the first place in terms of production. And not even Germany. The Slovak holding ZVS is now producing about 20 thousand shells per month, by the end of this year they will try to reach the level of 100 thousand shells.

          Great America, Leader, hegemon and dominant all rolled into one today produces 14 shells per month. The Pentagon has invested (as it is now called) $2 billion in order to bring production up to 20 shells per month by the end of this year, and plans already in 2024 can hope for a level of 90 shells per month.

          According to Western intelligence estimates, until the beginning of 2022, the production of 152-caliber shells in Russia was 1,7 million pieces per year (slightly more than 141 thousand pieces per month). In 2022, Russia almost doubled the output, to 3,3 million units per year (275 thousand per month), and already in January, Sergei Shoigu announced that by the end of 2023, the output would rise by another 5 times, to 416 million units per year.

        And some here are outraged where the strikes on railway bridges and communications! I would like to ask WHAT!!!


        Firstly, not "some", but all normal people, not "sycophant-patriots" are outraged by this!
        It is obvious that this decision not to destroy the bridges on the Dnieper and the entire infrastructure of the railway comes "from above", and not from military specialists. Then in the history of this war there will be such spears about this "brilliant decision" to break and such a juggling of documents / memories will begin! This shame will overshadow the problem "why did Stalin believe Hitler / how was it allowed on June 22, 1941", and questions like "How did the USSR get into Afghanistan?" and "Who allowed the collapse of the USSR and why?"

        Secondly, just don’t give this excuse here about the fact that there is supposedly nothing to bang the bridges on the Dnieper!
        This argument works for weak countries with parade formal combat aviation, without a serious military-industrial complex and without 70 years of experience in the development of cruise missiles, long-range guided air-to-ground missiles! And then Germany, with gasoline planes, bridges from 1939 just rumbled like that - BEFORE THE WAR, Stalin had a secret program for building tunnels next to bridges across large rivers (by the way, two tunnels were built in Kiev then!) - Was Stalin wrong about this? Was he scared for nothing?

        The USSR and Russia have both sickly aviation and all sorts of different missiles in bulk.

        I'll just list:
        Cruise missiles:
        Kh-101 - warhead 400 kg, range over 5000 km. Reduce the mass of fuel by half (1250 kg -> 600 kg) and fill part of the explosive tanks - there will be 1000 kg of explosives. http://www.airwar.ru/weapon/kr/x101.html

        4. "Caliber-A" as many as three modifications ZM-54AE - a three-stage cruise missile with a detachable supersonic combat stage, 3M-54AE-1 - a two-stage subsonic cruise missile, and ZM-14AE - a subsonic cruise missile used to destroy ground targets.
        Warhead from 200 to 450 kg, range from 220 to 275 km.

        The supposedly small mass of warheads "sycophant-patriots" do not even have to stutter: Ukrainians Antonovsky Bridge is simply HIMARS M31 (GMLRS UNITARY) with Warhead weighing 91 kg stubbornly fired, and he became unsuitable for transport RF Armed Forces. Historical fact. Unpleasant, but true.

        Air-to-ground missiles:
        X-59 "Gadfly" - several types, warhead 150-310 kg, range 40-290 km.

        Planning bombs:
        https://vpk.name/library/f/pbk-500u.html
        http://www.airwar.ru/weapon/kr/3m54.html
        Here is the main topic: https://m-kalashnikov.livejournal.com/4352823.html
        about high-precision planning bombs UPAB-1500B (K029BE) with a warhead of 1500 kg and UPAB-500B (K08BE), previously already limitedly used in the NWO. These air bombs allow strikes from a height of 15 km at targets at ranges up to 50 km with an accuracy of up to 10 meters,
        The United States slammed all the big bridges in Serbia with these weapons. Not straining, not listening to their "sycophantic patriots" (of whom they have many times less, alas) with idiotic cries of "It's impossible! It's a modern bridge! You have to hit the support! Just right on the support!"

        Sea-launched anti-ship missiles:
        1. P-120 "Malachite" - warhead 800 kg, range up to 150 km (Sea of ​​​​Azov, from Stroganovka to bridges in Zaporozhye will reach) https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F-120
        2. P-70 "Amethyst" warhead 1000 kg, range up to 80 km (bring it in a container to Energodar - from there it will fly to the bridges in Zaporozhye).

        Then you can simply take a heavy twin-engine drone, a glider, a target aircraft, fill it with explosives, add a guidance system to it and put it on the bridge / gateway on the Dnieper.

        But no one develops it, does it, pbecause there is no command. And most likely there is a reverse command: "Do not touch the bridges on the Dnieper and the railways of Ukraine!" Otherwise, how can the President of the United States, the President of France, the Prime Minister of Britain and other "our partners" be able to travel to Kyiv and take pictures with Zelensky there?

      Oddly enough, among Western countries, the United States is not in the first place in terms of production. And not even Germany. The Slovak holding ZVS is now producing about 20 thousand shells per month, by the end of this year they will try to reach the level of 100 thousand shells.

      Great America, Leader, hegemon and dominant all rolled into one today produces 14 shells per month. The Pentagon has invested (as it is now called) $2 billion in order to bring production up to 20 shells per month by the end of this year, and plans already in 2024 can hope for a level of 90 shells per month.

      According to Western intelligence estimates, until the beginning of 2022, the production of 152-caliber shells in Russia was 1,7 million pieces per year (slightly more than 141 thousand pieces per month). In 2022, Russia almost doubled the output, to 3,3 million units per year (275 thousand per month), and already in January, Sergei Shoigu announced that by the end of 2023, the output would rise by another 5 times, to 416 million units per year. (417-XNUMX thousand per month).

        The lack of shells in the first half of 42 prevented the defeat of the Army Group Center near Moscow, when the warehouses were empty, and the evacuated factories had not yet established the production of shells.

          The IVS said that "we will beat the enemy on foreign territory and with little bloodshed." And that we have the best aviation and tanks in the world .... and "not an inch, not an inch ..." - they said a lot of things, and then in June 1941 they were shocked! So there is no need to make a saint out of IVS. All of the above cannot be considered an excuse for the current leadership of the Armed Forces. I have not the slightest desire to pray for lampas.

Those Germans who remained alive offered practically no resistance - they were heavily shell-shocked. This is what artillery preparation should have been! And if there were limits, they were clearly exceeded at times.

        The best illustration of this is this video from Rybar and Colonel Kassad: https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/7989574.html

        You can simply count the huge number of craters in an open field (there are no corpses nearby, no trenches / trenches, no broken equipment), but these can also be craters from ukrov shells. There are also incomprehensible attacks: like from the MLRS at around 11:31 - they immediately covered everything and nothing for sure?

        But if you look at the strike of our aircraft at around 12:00 (After the failure of the assault, the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreat into a forest plantation. A Su-34 bomber appears in the air, which strikes with ODAB-500 volume-detonating bombs.), then we will see that half of the bombs ( 2 out of 4) did not fall into a forest plantation, but into an open field!

      But what about Stalin? When Stalin was there, then mattress and NATO geostationary satellites did not hang over the front 24/7 and no one transmitted intelligence to Hitler online. The creation of large field depots of rocket and artillery b / n near the LBS is fraught with the fact that the same chimeras will calmly reach them on a tip from the same mattresses and NATO, and therefore all the work in a few weeks to create reserves for the quick delivery of b / c on the front line can be reset in a few minutes. So they get out as best they can, so that it is neither close nor far, but at the same time accessible, safe and enough for everyone. If Wagner explodes ten kilometers at once, then it will become more difficult to pull up reserves. The enemy, too, was not made with a finger, and for any reason will not miss the opportunity to reset the warehouses located in the reach of the available weapons, so that the enemy would have nothing to fight with. Wanting and providing are different concepts.

    Comrade Khodakovsky, it's time to turn off the Internet. By the way, Khodakovsky veiledly responded to Strelkov's accusation "Khodakovsky had never fought before, he was at his base, and now he is not fighting" with general phrases like "I am the head of the unit." Those. Apparently, he does not command anything and no one now by and large - he provides patronage assistance, helps with supplies, equipment and drones.

      For all that, and I agree about screwing on the tap, he gave the answer to everyone. It’s just that not everyone understands him (like me 8): Prigozhin is hinted that he needs to hold back the offensive a little, that he should share achievements, and not pull the whole blanket over himself. But whether and to whom and what he (the commander-in-chief) will answer - we will find out from the real layouts next week. It's one thing to have a paizu to hire non-traditional office workers, and another thing to play solo with the whole orchestra in front of the mausoleum - there's a five-kilometer line to parade past.

    Khodakovsky slightly softened the situation with shells, but at least for the public infa, although everyone has long known why we are fighting like this, there is no exact fire effect on the enemy, miracles do not happen. MO, too, well done with shells, are there any complaints about buttons? No, but what is not enough is different. Everyone is afraid to report to the top because they have to admit that they didn’t calculate before.

    the general norms for the consumption of ammunition, on which the Wagner was put, do not allow for a normal offensive, this also applies to units of the Russian army.

    and right there:
    Meanwhile, there is no shortage of ammunition at the front, various sources have repeatedly reported this. The Russian military-industrial complex has managed to increase the number of shells of all calibers produced by several times, even exceeding the required volumes.

    This is from the area: - "I hate bipolar disorder, it's awesome!"
    But in fact this is called "shell hunger", simply and clearly - a lack of ammo! They weren’t ready, but they corrected it on the go - there was a problem with resources, production was destroyed along the way, now they have to frantically restore it.

      There should be no squabble "on the air". In official correspondence - please, but not on the Internet! The principle of unity of command at the head of everything, especially at the front! It remains only to charge a talk show in the style of TNT on TV. Some crap. Ammunition consumption rates were, are and will be. Otherwise, how to plan military operations? How to work on the rear? Who, to whom, where and how much should be delivered? And there is no need for "crooked" speculation about "barrel wear". At the head of everything is the decision of the commander: which enemy, by what date and by what means to destroy (suppress). Hence the norms for the consumption of ammunition, applications for delivery, etc., etc. This is the work of the commander, chief and headquarters of different levels. Supply is one of the issues, the repair and restoration of weapons and military equipment is completely different. Can not be "all sisters on earrings." One is on the defensive, the other is in the direction of the main attack, the third is generally in the second echelon. And the main thing is the interaction of everyone to complete a combat mission, and not a cheap squabble on the Internet and on a mattress site in the name of PR. IMHO.

    Ammunition can be and is in warehouses. But there is a problem with the delivery, they must not only be brought up, but also so that they would not be "goalted" along the way. The main problem is in the staff structure of military units. For 10 years, the Russian Army has received a regular structure of "constant combat readiness" units, which allows: 1. to train two such crews (main and reserve) for "tank biathlons", 2. to send single samples of new equipment to parades. On paper, everything seems to be fine, if "count the number of tanks." But fighting with such a regular structure is already a problem. As shown by the fighting in the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkov .... regions. We need not only tanks and their number, but also units to ensure combat operations: rear and technical, communications, electronic warfare, intelligence, engineering ...... But it is precisely in the structure of the military units of our Army that there are not enough units to ensure combat operations . Our generals have only now begun to understand (I really want to believe it) that the same motorized rifle company should have its own full-time drones, as consumables and not in single copies.

    According to the commander of the Vostok, the problem is not at all that the Wagnerites have ceased to be supplied with ammunition, but that they have been put on general norms, having begun to be supplied, like other units of the Russian army. They began to give to everyone. Previously, PMCs received more ammunition; aviation, operational-tactical and cruise missiles, etc. were specially allocated for it. And the "musicians" gave results, moving forward. Now everything has been cut.

    Frankly, we envied the "Wagners" in a good way, when they had their own front-line aviation, the daily norm of two Iskanders and one Caliber (...) when they dragged prisoners from all over the country to them ... We envied, but understood that they did not give anyone such a supply - and he will give the same result as they. The result is not only the quantity

      “Ammunition just began to be given like everyone else”

      With this approach, we will fight for more than one year, if we don’t shake up the general’s bedbug in the rear ...

      We usually have two questions;
      In the elections; "And for whom else?"
      After the election; "Why are the bosses so bad?"

      It seems that 32 years have already passed, but the cycle is repeating itself and its end will probably come no sooner than the "first of Russia's two troubles" ends .... It's only scary if Russia ends even earlier.

    And it seems that the shells from the stocks of the USSR are running out. That's the whole point. The last trump card is missing.

    The problem of supply, of course, must be solved, otherwise it may end badly ....

    I read the comments and understand that everyone who writes does not have relatives who are in the NWO. I have a son there, a question for the MO, will he also die because of the norms?

    The RF Ministry of Defense should know that the attacking side should be 3 times larger than the defenders, therefore it should also have more ammunition than non-advancing troops - every lieutenant knows this, not just the high command. PMC Wagner is ACTIVELY advancing and should take cauldron Artemovsk, to force the troops of Ukraine with mercenaries to SURRENDER as near Mariopol. How to do this without the required amount of ammunition, in particular shells ??? When I.V. Stalin asked G.K. Zhukov about who would take Berlin. Then wagons of shells were fired at Berlin, so fewer of our soldiers died. And if Artemovsk is not taken?! What then? The Armed Forces of Ukraine will recover and it will be much harder for our troops, this was shown by the Kharkov direction and more soldiers will fall. Who will be guilty of this mediocrity?

    Prigozhin will somehow get bored - and will turn to the DPRK directly, there will be enough shells for the Russian Defense Ministry.

    [quoteMeanwhile, there is no shortage of ammunition at the front, various sources have repeatedly reported this. The Russian military-industrial complex has managed to increase the number of projectiles of all calibers produced several times, even exceeding the required volumes.][/quote]

    Well, if there is no shortage, then what’s the matter! I'm tired of the ritualistic statements of propagandist journalists.

    I read the excuses of a Ministry of Defense official that they would fulfill all requests for February by the first of March. And he gave the figures for what was delivered in February. For example, artillery shells - 10. That's 000 pieces per day! An entire group leading an assault on an urban agglomeration.
    How many shells are there for one machine gun nest? Fifty? And per km of fortifications for artillery preparation - ten thousand?
    But not all shells are six-inch? Smaller calibers are useless. MLRS don’t work against shelters at all, so why count them today? If you don’t have at least fifty 152mm shells per barrel per day, you can’t attack! If, by the will of the Ministry of Defense, our army is supplied according to SUCH standards, then defeat is inevitable.
    .
    Another aspect: Each dead Wagnerian saves 3 mobilized ones by his death. Minimum. And then the bureaucrats from the Ministry of Defense started a showdown, the generals took up localism. As a result, the lack of shells among the Wagnerites will inevitably result in unnecessary losses of the mobilized. The loss of our people, our family and friends!

    Just don’t talk about Ugledar, yesterday some stupid commander there drove a soldier head-on to the heights, the attack floundered, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a counterattack... as a result, they barely held their positions, Wagner would have bypassed these heights and wouldn’t have attacked them head-on

    “They just started giving ammunition like everyone else,” and everyone is fighting with the same intensity as “Wagner”?

    “They put me on the general rules” I found some Ukrainian blogger in the evening. He claims that the Moscow Region and the Kremlin are “dumping” Putin. He is an obstacle to the world
    His supports: Kadyrov and Prigozhin are being “pushed back.”
    I'm not sure that's true.
    As we know: “Idiots are rich in thoughts.” Perhaps what is desired is being passed off as reality.
    R S, a friend says: everyone there respects “musicians” who are armed to the teeth. And “Akhmatovites”, when they saw her, there were obscenities, but if they saw an “Akhmatovite”, they immediately swallowed obscenities

    Ammunition, especially medium and heavy, should be given not to everyone, but to those who are most needed and important! Otherwise they will deliver heavy shells to the infantry and grenades to the artillerymen!

    Wagner, tea military company))

    But sponsor us, State)) and pay your salary too.

    Maybe it will be decided then maybe you are not a PMC??
    If you are mercenaries, then ask for salary. And we provide for ourselves with salary.

    Either there are problems with ammunition in general in the country or in the General Staff an agent of influence has wound up and is deliberately, on instructions, slowing down deliveries. They fight too well and produce an excellent harvest of dill, so they can win.
