The soldiers of the volunteer battalion "Potok" PMC "Gazprom" left their positions, exposing the flanks of the PMC "Wagner"

An unpleasant situation has developed on one of the flanks of the assault units of the Wagner PMC, which continue their offensive against the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine both in Bakhmut itself and in its vicinity. According to the fighters of the "Orchestra", the volunteer battalion "Potok" from the new PMC "Gazprom", which covered the flank of the "musicians", left its positions, thereby allowing the enemy to recapture the hard-won positions.

According to one of the Wagnerites, this happened to the west of Bakhmut, where PMC stormtroopers drove the enemy out of forest plantations. Since the "Orchestra" continued its offensive, units of the "Potok" volunteer battalion from the so-called new PMC, formed as part of "Gazprom", entered the positions recaptured from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, the enemy launched a new attack, after which the Potok retreated, abandoning positions and weapon. At least that's what they say in PMC "Wagner".

The enemy is pulling up more and more reserves, 20-30 people per hour, work is being done around the clock. The neighbors who were on our flanks, the so-called DRO Potok, a Gazprom PMC, abandoned their positions in full force at night, threw down their weapons (...) and so the "blue stream" leaked

- said the "Wagnerian".

Thus, the "Potok" lost two positions, exposing the flank of the PMC "Wagner" and exposing the assault groups of the "Orchestra" under attack. As military commander Yevgeny Linin stated in his TG channel, Potok explained the retreat from positions by the fact that they are a voluntary unit that fights when it wants.

At the same time, a video message from the Potok battalion fighters appeared on the Web, who blamed the leadership of the departmental security of PJSC Gazprom, a certain Redut LLC and the leadership of the battalion for their troubles, which did not provide the personnel with the necessary weapons and artillery support. The fighters of the PMC "Wagner" also got it, who allegedly forbade the departure of the "Potok" from positions and the rotation of personnel. The appearance of a new PMC from Gazprom in the NVO zone was reported back in March of this year. It was assumed that the new company would stand on a par with the Wagner PMC and help the Orchestra in the Bakhmut direction.

It's cool. Gazprom has already gotten to the PMC. But it would be better if it didn't start.

Well, there may just be a struggle between PMCs for fat state orders. After all, we hear criticism here from their direct competitor. And it's very sad that corporations are acquiring their own private armies. Hello to the upcoming Cyberpunk and class news. KLA stormtroopers launched a series of lightning strikes on Gazprom facilities, and RosAtom allied forces detonated an atomic bomb in Arkhangelsk. Now to other news.

[Orange Bigg]

Here they are the results of merchant psychology. We are sliding down to the level of Ukraine. There, too, the Kolomoiskys used to create their own PMCs, instead of building the Army, they began to create some kind of guardsmen. True, then the Americans came and began to help them build an army, abandoning all the pocket armies of the oligarchs. But history says that, as a rule, the oprichnina does not lead to good.

[Lionov]

To begin with, the wise men would at least ask what kind of oprichnina was by definition, what function it performed and who the oprichnik actually served, and then they would throw in terms that they don’t have a shish and have no idea about. For the Russian state, the oprichnina was necessary in conditions of the then boyar turmoil to centralize power in the hands of the tsar, and not the then "oligarchs" in the person of the boyars. The ignoramus contradicts himself, learn the history of the crested.

[Yarr_Arr]

So don't overdo it either!
Oprichniki were the then "internal troops".
And as the practice of the Livonian War showed, they fought so-so ....
It turned out well for Peter, to create an almost personal guard. And Ivan is so-so

Firstly, the internal troops have completely different tasks than the Ministry of Defense.
We do not need to read pro-Western tales about the atrocities of the oprichnina. During the time of Ivan the Terrible, both the personal courage and martial art of the guardsmen were at the highest level, which is confirmed by the exploits of Malyuta Skuratov in Estonia (the Weisenstein fortress, during the storming of which Malyuta died) and Prince Dmitry Khvorostin in the Battle of Molodi, the victory in which was a huge success for the Russian states.

[sgrabik]

PMC "Wagner" should not be touched, the guys there are well trained, they fight efficiently and professionally, they are not inferior to our regular army in anything but weapons, but all sorts of incomprehensible Streams from Gazprom, this is really a miserable sight, they do not help there, but only they only interfere with our professional military, and what kind of ridiculous statements are these: we fight when we want and how we want, or you fight as our high command needs, or you don’t fight at all, without interfering with fighting others.

[Alex_mech]

all sorts of incomprehensible flows from Gazprom

It's just that Gazprom hasn't organized a PR campaign yet. Wait a bit and they will start praising these, not those

Prigogine's informational noise must also be divided by five. competitors multiply before our eyes and the flow of prisoners is over.
if, God forbid, the zatyr near Bakhmut does not resolve, this will be the end of all PR.

PMC "Wagner" all his own, from attack aircraft to aviation. Experience in combat operations. Potok, a subdivision of OOO Redut, volunteers from VO Gazprom. Look at their equipment and weapons! Did Prigozhin have the sense and conscience to allow them to cover their flanks? And the demand should be with LLC "Redut" for equipment, for weapons, for training ... I think how people were treated, that's what they got.

[aleks700]

The Ministry of Defense promised Prigozhin to cover his flanks. And we see how it did it.

[sgrabik]

I completely agree with you, that's exactly how it works.

There are rumors that these poor fellows are paid 400 thousand a month.
There were hopes that the Wagnerites would run across for a long ruble.

[Reader_lover]

I heard such a story. That the Rostov police went there en masse. Even from the traffic police. But it is clear that not everything in the war is measured by money.

[sgrabik]

A large salary is not yet a guarantee of successful operations at the front, well, Gazprom pays them a lot of money, and we all see how they work it out at the front.

[bayard]

Quote: fif21

Potok, a subdivision of OOO Redut, volunteers from VO Gazprom. Look at their equipment and weapons!

One gets the impression that the towers have not only divided assets, subsoil and production, but also taken the Moscow Region into private ownership ... And they compete with other PMCs. How to understand all this mess? Why is anyone fighting on the fronts? Where is the Army? Why are all these structures and formations not included in its composition?
Some "Redoubt" (God forgive me) snatched out a contract for the provision of military services, hired security guards from Gazprom, and by deception imposed on them a contract with their loved ones, and not with the Moscow Region, as they were promised.
Equipment, weapons, equipment ... you look at their shoes!
This is some kind of coven of absurdity, not SVO.
And then there is an insider from the Firebomber about the creation of another PMC (name not specified), which, among other things, will have its own air wing of at least two squadrons, one of which is on the Su-34. I don’t know where they are going to get Su-34s for her (there are no more than 120 of them in the troops anyway), but the pilots themselves are recruited from ... COMMAND UNITS !!! They already called out, and almost all the tops in the shelves raised their hands ... HOW IS IT ?? And without that, the "SMALL" army of the Russian Federation is being disassembled into PMCs, even with aircraft? What the hell is this? (plant)
What is this circus anyway?
The country is waging a war that is not called a war, the Army is not being mobilized, the people are campaigning for a contract (consider the RF Armed Forces being turned into the same PMC), but private "armies" breed like rabbits.
... We laugh at Western politicians, but ours are no thinner, they can also surprise.
Maybe we even want to abolish the state? Even if the war and defense of the state were left to the mercy of private traders?
I believe that if some companies want to participate in the SVO, then let them take charge of specific units (albeit volunteers) of the RF Armed Forces. They buy ammunition and equipment for them, pay them bonuses, purchase the necessary means of communication and copters, sights and thermal imagers, provide other property necessary for the war, but the subordination of all formations to the NMD must obey and be part of the structure of the Ministry of Defense. And not to arrange a circus and shame ... and even with such "appeals" to the camera.

[Alexander Kuksin]

Yes, there were people in our time! Not like the current tribe ... Where are you, the people of the "attack of the dead", where are the defenders of Brest ... Who fought to the death with a three-ruler for three, in windings and torn overcoats ... Now we can't hold the defense without toilet paper! When we want, then we fight! The liberalism of our President will bring him to the Ipatiev basement. In some ways, the Chief Dolbalschik of Russia Solovyov is right - SMERSH is needed! Only Solovyov should not be given a leather jacket and a Mauser.

[Denis]

Well, why don't you yourself stand, to death, with a three-ruler? To equalize the Second World War and the current "SVO" and demand that people behave the same way towards them, well, you have to be quite close-minded.

[Evgeny Ivanov_5]

I think if you were sitting in a trench, and during an enemy attack, your neighbor would have decided, “Well, what the hell, I’m a volunteer and I decide for myself when I came, I left and in general ...” your rhetoric was different.

[Stinging Nettle]

On emotions, I want to break loose on the one who is closest to everyone, but if you think with your head, then everyone has a common source of trouble - those people who, out of stupidity or intentionally, substitute our fighters with weapons, if it is true that there were such problems.

[Alekseev]

"... where Prigozhin understands ...
They, they say, were deceived, they say, they were not prepared. Let's hope that Prigozhin and whoever is supposed to figure it out and the participants in the unauthorized abandonment of their positions will get what they deserve. Not one who tries to avoid fighting, regardless of the side, has not yet declared that he does not want to fight.
Excuses that ukrov have, that ours have the same type. Chauffeur, cook, mobilized, did not ask
deceived, the commanders ran away, there is no communication, no cartridges, provisions, etc.
When the leader of the peoples was the supreme leader, did they also act like that?
They probably said the same. But not in print. And, unlike today, in each division there was a tribunal and penal companies, and for officers there were penal battalions as part of the army.
Or have there always been crimes in combat conditions, but not now? It is unlikely...
Only yesterday there was a dispute: who is to blame, if what kind of failure?
We are pressing on the generals. And, probably, they are to blame in many places.
But everyone, and not just a high-ranking officer, must be responsible for himself and his actions.
Suvorov won thanks to the presence of miraculous heroes trained under his leadership and Bonoparties too. And according to Comrade Konev I.S. , with his soldiers and officers in 1945 it was possible to storm the sky.

[Stinging Nettle]

With today's order, how to organize the responsibility of generals for problems with weapons and artillery? How will these problems be known at all if the fighters are good boys, do not run from positions and record videos? Purely practical answer, how to get through to the leadership? Under Stalin, there was a system of informers-observers, plus any soldier could write a denunciation, and this denunciation would reach the leadership. And now?

[lemeshkin]

Well, yes, well, yes, denunciations are the very thing, they took place in the 30s of the twentieth century.

[sgrabik]

In general, it’s time for us to start asking much tougher questions not only from the generals, but from each officer, from each fighter, distinguished himself in battle as a hero, receive a well-deserved reward, but if you were cowardly, retreated, betrayed your comrades, left the weapons or equipment entrusted to you, then be ready to go under the tribunal, you need to atone for guilt, and not look for any excuses for yourself.

[man]

Well, there may just be a struggle between PMCs for fat state orders. After all, we hear criticism here from their direct competitor.
Unlike PMC GAZPROM, Wagner has a REPUTATION!

[UAZ 452]

Well, yes - they have been successfully advancing in Bakhmut since August. Three months later, you can already prepare for the celebration of the anniversary.

[sgrabik]

Wagner has not only a reputation, but also experience in military operations, professionally trained fighters and excellent interaction with our army units, especially with the Airborne Forces, the so-called PMC Potok from Gazprom has nothing close to this, let them first learn to fight themselves, and only then someone is criticized there.

the other is to conduct combined arms combat. So it became clear who is who.

[Evgeny Ivanov_5]

In fact, this is not a PMC, but a private security company. And in general, I immediately recall the case when in the winter 20 brave Siberians blew from the front shouting that they were ready to fight for their Motherland, but in the rear. And then they shoot and scary.

[Rome]

To be honest, breeding a mess based on cutting the budget and the desire to remove losses from the statistics of the Ministry of Defense and hide them in different PMCs and not be responsible for them, instead of strengthening the army, is very disappointing! the head of the head is obviously busy with something else!

[Berendey]

Yes, as A. Raikin said: "... roughly speaking, I do not dare to say, but to put it mildly - there are no words." Although there is no need to express it here, it’s just that the entire personnel of the Potok PMC was reported to smoothly and very quickly flow into the composition of the RF Armed Forces. And then, you know, they arranged a "chamomile" - "I fight, I don't fight."

And who will present them? These people have nothing to do with state services, they are not mobilized... Unless Gazprom fires them for violating the terms of their employment contract.

I wonder what kind of legal norm they will go to jail? They are not mobilized. Not soldiers of the Russian army. They are private individuals. Well, if only to bring for illegal possession of automatic weapons

And this is a question for the Moscow Region, how do they sign contracts in general? Either contract soldiers calmly quit with the outbreak of war, or PMCs can afford to fight whenever they want!
Who is responsible for the combat capability of the units? How, according to PMCs, could an unsecured and understaffed unit, and therefore a non-combat-ready unit, be put on the LBS ?!
Such a PMC needs to be disbanded, the fighters should be distributed among the "iron" units, they should be given to the same Wagnerites and the situation with the demolition in the command of the group should be investigated

[saygon66]

Here again.... Well, okay, a PSC can be closed, but to scatter employees among other PSCs - how is it? And if they didn’t sign a contract with the Moscow Region, they are completely free birds ...

In the sense of quietly going to the rear and getting a high salary?
I think "Flow" will be happy with your offer.
And then they sent for an assault, like some kind of mobilized.

[Berendey]

You see, my dear, in the RF Armed Forces, unlike the Makhnovists, in the sense of "Potokovites", there are certain rules, such as "if you can't, we'll teach you, if you don't want to force us." And no "chamomile", only a disciplinary charter.

[sgrabik]

If only in the Penal Battalion, for such, to put it mildly, "art" they should not provide them with anything other than a penal battalion, how is it generally understood that we want to fight, but we don’t want to, some kind of nonsense, it generally smacks of betrayal and this needs to be dealt with seriously.

.Gazprom has already reached the PMC

Ha see you were not in Siberia.
Gazprom troops have been operating there for decades.
For example, you need to get into the upper reaches of the Sosva, a wonderful river and, which is typical, the farther from the mouth, the larger the fish. Therefore, it makes sense to float on it. Casting either by a turntable, which is expensive, or through the Ural mountains on a shishig (a normal SUV will pass there). That's just the trouble, the only road is occupied by the troops of Gazprom. I'm not joking, there is a road, but there is a gas pipeline not far from it, so the road is closed by Gazprom and it doesn't matter that you have a permit, and the road is not officially closed. Lawlessness, in that I had permission already signed by Vyakhirev. But you don’t care, you have to negotiate with the field commander, you can’t call it otherwise. It's about the same in other places.

What are you fantasizing about? Vyakhirev ended his command at Gazprom in 2001. I worked in the area of ​​Beloyarsky, Sosva, Igrim, Berezov for 18 years. We went fishing for Sosvenskaya herring, no one restricted anything. It is a winter road and a winter road in Africa, you can’t drive anywhere else as soon as it is in winter, and in summer it is not. In the summer, they went on motorboats along the river. Ob, Northern Sosva, Kazym, yes a helicopter.

[bk316]

What are you fantasizing about? Vyakhirev ended his command at Gazprom in 2001.

So it was in 98.
And before you write and try to accuse me of lying, you should first read it more carefully.
You didn’t even specify which Sosva, okay, Northern.

So you are talking about the lower reaches of the Sosva. From Igrim to Bedkash, well, or to the village of Sosva. By the way, I also fished there more than once or twice.
Here.

But I'm talking about the UPPER in the area of ​​Hulimsunt. There on a motorboat from Igrim to cut 500 km. Went? That's it.
But through the ridge is quite a decent road. Get a photo.

That's where they didn't let us in.

[Sergey170861]

Gazprom troops are stationed along the entire branch of the gas pipeline that also goes through the Sverdlovsk region. And on the other namesake of the northern Sosva, UMMC troops are simply standing at Sosva. Copper is mined in the Ural mountains there. All the muck is poured into the adjacent rivers.

[bk316]

.And on the other namesake of the northern Sosva, just Sosva, there are troops of the UMMC.

Didn't see it, but heard it. No, I understand that objects must be protected, but why, as soon as people are given power and God forbid weapons in their hands, they immediately begin to behave like kings ....

[sgrabik]

There are no troops there, what are you talking about, this structure, this is the security service, yes, such a service exists in Gazprom, but it is certainly not intended for any large-scale military operations.

Quote: Piramidon

Apparently they hoped that Gazprom would pay them as it pays its managers, but it did not grow together.

I suspect that the idea of ​​​​creating this PMC was submitted by the PR department of Gazprom for the sake of "creating a positive image of the company", having seen enough of the same Wagner.
The practical implementation was entrusted to the Gazprom security service.

And then something went wrong.
I personally know several employees of the Security Council of Gazprom and Rosneft. Not one of the biggest bosses, but far from "infantry".
I will not say that ordinary employees are recruited in the protection of clothing markets. But they work more efficiently in the clothing markets, because there are those who were born late in order to become a bandit in the 90s.
And the "guards" of "Gazprom" are puffed up turkeys, effectively working only against grannies and mothers with strollers, when they block the sidewalks 20 meters to the left and right in order to "follow" the authorities from the office door to the limousine by the side of the road.

И about weather about money.
Of course, at Gazprom, security guards are paid more than a school security guard from a private security company opened by a retired district captain and his friend, a fire inspector. But their work is not combative and not operational. Their job is to restrict access. To individuals, to the territory, to buildings. Everything else is zero. Dressed in suits combed herd. Watchmen in ties, damn it. The best thing that those who know how to do is to stand with a smart look and watch around.
They hoped that Gazprom would pay like in a war (they promised that they would pay big bonuses!), And they would have to work like in an office at the checkpoint. Just not in a suit and tie.
But it turned out that they were shooting there not from rubber arrows, but for real. And, if the seat itself has played, then you can’t call the police at 02 (and for some reason they go to the offices of Gazprom with much more pleasure than to show off a drunken husband and wife).

In general, Gazmyas was not counting on that at all. Everything turned out to be grown-up. And the boys decided that hanging out in offices, although not so profitable, is safe. They abandoned the machine guns and "made Wagner a pen."
In my opinion, retreating when people rely on you, when you are "hanging" on someone's flank, is criminal. If not according to written laws, then according to human, male laws, according to the laws of war. And this stain in the biography cannot be washed off with vodka or soap.
Only they didn’t think about it - they really wanted to go back to the office ...

And separately the management of "Gazprom" to flog the PR service. They wanted to rip off the nishtyakov on the authority of Wagner, but they brought Gazprom, which was not already suffering from an excess of popularity among the people, frankly into a stinking puddle.
You need to think with your head, at least sometimes be distracted from choosing a new yacht, before giving the go-ahead to the crazy ideas of various "creatively thinking" PR people.

[sgrabik]

Protecting and fighting are two big differences.

[isv000]

Quote from Orange Bigg

It's cool. Gazprom has already gotten to the PMC. But it would be better if it didn't start.

Gazprom has always had a high-level security structure, with weapons, helicopters and special equipment. The selection there was tough, preference was given to former military personnel with combat experience, recertification was carried out frequently. So it was not difficult to create a PMC based on the security structure of Gazprom. As for the content of the article - then you need to sleep with it, as they say. Until recently, the flanks of Wagner were covered by the Airborne Forces. How structures that have not yet proven themselves in battles turned out to be in the forefront - that's another question! Not so long ago, they also showed a recording with an appeal to the authorities by a group of military men, where, among other things, the major speaks after the lieutenant and glances - am I saying everything correctly? A group from the trenches, two weeks in the mud and blood, with corpses - but they are dressed to the nines, shaved, etc., etc. We take care of our ears!

[zloybond]

Well, guarding a gas pipe in the forest and fighting are two different things. Expectations were different for these new mercenaries. Protecting offices and objects of the Non-National Treasure is another matter.

Well, then, squeezing Claudia and squeezing boobs is a completely different matter! It was said in the scriptures: people with combat experience were accepted into the guard, mainly! Having fingers is not enough, you also need eyes and the most calibrated tool!

[Ivan F]

"they were accepted into the guard, mainly people with combat experience!" - means such a "good" experience. I remember in Chechnya, the participants of the database also went in a stream, who did not go further than Mozdok, but they immediately received "combat experience" there. These are the "experienced fighters" in the Gazik secret police who hang out.

[zloybond]

I will say sedition: parts of the Moscow Region were broadcasting on the flanks! Then the Ukrainian popper and the flanks were exposed. And suddenly it turned out on the flanks, judging by the video of Prigozhin's disassembly, some kind of "Stream". Prigogine is angry. Clearly, castering those who fled. But apart from a handful of fighters shown, there is no equipment, commanders, statements. Everything seems to be clear. And suddenly a request for the death of a deputy. Prigozhin responded by posting a report from the commander of the assault detachment online. There, in black and white, it is told about the death of a group, which included that deputy, which (ATTENTION) went to close the exposed flank after leaving the position by parts of the MO !!!!
I will say that the neighbors know each other, the interaction is linked. And the Assault Commander could not be mistaken who his neighbor was, who fled, he wrote a document.
So it seems to me that this fake "stream" was invented to save someone's face. Well, the headquarters commander responsible for organizing the defense could not entrust the flanks to several fighters, realizing that there was nothing but people there. Or the staff officer framed the defense??? Don't think. So there was no flow. But this is my opinion.

Quote: isv000

Gazprom has always had a high-level security structure, with weapons, helicopters and special equipment. The selection there was tough, preference was given to former military personnel with combat experience, recertification was carried out frequently. So it was not difficult to create a PMC based on the security structure of Gazprom.

Technical support at the level - I do not argue with that. There is money - so you can equip it no worse than James Bond. But after all, technology in itself does not fulfill a combat mission.
But with people...
Yes, formally there are requirements for AT LEAST military service. And it's good if a regular officer. Even better - not a "comfrey", but with special training.
It's just that reality isn't like that.
I personally know one. They have some kind of hierarchy there, but he said that in translation into the army language he was something like a company commander there. Has been operating for about 20 years. He did not serve urgently - "not fit in peacetime." As a child, he suffered a severe trauma. Graduated from the Polytechnic Institute, military department, fees - from "jackets". Master of sports in mountaineering. Formally, the requirements for the candidate are met. I don’t know what he is worth in the war, but I wouldn’t want to see this on my flank.

[AAK]

Yes, to hell with this PMC, I just can’t understand one thing - why is PMC fighting on the most important, relevant and dangerous sector of the front, and not the regular army ?! Until recently, all the media played films about the fact that the Airborne Forces of the Russian Federation were working on the flanks of the Wagner, now it seems that it is no longer the Airborne Forces, but some kind of "stream" that "leaked" and "flowed", where is the whole army? Where are the contrabasics, mobiks, leopards, bobiki and others?...

[Sid2014]

Is she regular? Now some kind of "blue stream" has formed and disappeared. However, we will soon find out who we are and what we are really capable of !!!

[zloybond]

Judging by the reports, Wagner is at war. Well, they show how conveniently the trenches are built for real military men. Wagner fights, storms - pride and respect. The stream is gone. Are the others dug in and watching? As they say: "They are actively defending themselves."
The front line has been taking place in the suburbs of Donetsk for the eighth year...

[Yaroslav Tekkel]

Is the regular army ready for such losses that the Wagner bears? Is society ready for such losses of the regular army? Any Ugledar becomes a topic for discussion (and justified indignation) for weeks to come. And for Wagner, "it was Tuesday."

[Sid2014]

And how will society react to the loss of new territories or, God forbid, Crimea or ...

[Vladimir Tkachev]

Who will ask him, the society?

[flyer]

The political image that our authorities and strategists from the Moscow Region protect so much.
Society reacts differently to the death of a mercenary or a conscript, and the media clearly distinguish this.

[Bulrumeb]

Yes, it turns out some kind of anti-Midas: what it doesn’t touch, it doesn’t turn into gold, but into ....

[Sergei Sokoloff]

Gazprom is a huge pit riddled with a web of corruption through from the top to the bottom level, and with the clan, incl. Western Ukrainian shelf from the time of its creation. Keeping the defense standing to the death is not about them. Profunkat, shit, buy, sell, resell, wring out, roll back, ride, throw, etc. - it's about these ruffles. And in order to stand on the enemy with your chest or lie under a tank with a grenade, you need real guys with a different corporate culture.

[Dingo]

But it would be better if I didn’t start. If you don’t know how, don’t take it.

I said many times - hucksters cannot and will not fight! No matter how you call them - PMCs, organized crime groups, organized crime groups, "GazMyaso" ... "Leaving positions" (in another way, just desertion) - whatever one may say, but this is Art. The Criminal Code, the court, the convoy and the camp barracks ... But something tells me - they will smear ... Other hucksters ... Have you heard their motto - "We don't leave our own"? So, they will smear it off ... and they will throw some more dough - "for moral costs" ...

[saygon66]

And it has always been like this ... It’s easier for a huckster to pay off racketeers, and not to fight them to victory ...

It's cool. Gazprom has already gotten to the PMC. But it would be better if it didn't start.

So this, in the spirit of prihvatizatorov. And here we decided, for free, to stick. They recruited watchmen, but here you really need to fight. Here is the result.

P.S. And why does Russia take the worst from there?

[igorbrsv]

For me, it’s already enough to produce PMCs. To hell with him, there is Wagner, and let him eat. The rest to ban to hell. Unfortunately, you can’t get rid of the chops, but at least they are not so armed and have not participated in hostilities until now. Then we won't get into sin. No ... We must stop now.

There are private prisons... in 1983 the first prison was privatized, in 1986 a private prison for youngsters was built from scratch, in 2011 in the United States 107 private prisons and in them sits 85604 prisoners.
As an example, the oldest SSA prison corporation - 46 zones (prison) of its own and 21 state prisons under private management.
Private prisons participate in the defense orders of the US state, in 2012 - 100% of helmets for the military were produced in private prisons.

No wonder... In our time, the Corporations are the main shareholders of the State... Moreover, they are the owners of a controlling stake.
By allowing the privatization of all major assets, the State placed itself in direct dependence on the will of the Corporations. Partial nationalization could save the situation ... but - alas!

What a machismo. That is, they just wanted to and left the front? They did not like the provision and the contract is not like that? For such things during the war they are shot. If it's true of course...

[dmi.pris1]

Unfortunately, this is true. I watched the full video with these guys and with Prigozhin. They try not to replicate it, there are a lot of normal Jewish words. About the army ... There are no words at all, only because they can sue from scratch. mobilized work colleagues, they were on vacation in March

[Vladimir Tkachev]

sometimes you need to shoot those responsible for providing. In the Second World War they already went through this - "here's a sapper shovel for you, you'll get a rifle in battle."

So PMC Wagner is superfluous here, there is an army. So serve there. The army does not work well, so let the state reform. There are no leaders, so appoint Prigozhin as Minister of Defense.

[novel66]

And a good idea!!
Ttttttttttttttttt

[Jul888]

When you start to storm, like Wagner, then you will chat about who is superfluous there.

[Sebostyuan]

I will add. If I had the opportunity to form a battalion, with a fighter's salary - 500 thousand rubles. Formed companies with FPV drones. And from a private battalion on the front line, there are more problems than good.

[al3x]

Well, that's not the point. When I want, then I fight. Gruzdev called himself get in the body. And by and large it is time to regulate the actions of such formations at the legislative level. Now all sorts of Sber PMCs, Rosneft PMCs, etc. will pop up like mushrooms after rain, but will it be possible to rely on them? In the end, these are armed people, and everything related to weapons and military operations should be regulated by the state.

[Carlos Hall]

Is that Pancho Villa's army? If Stalin raises his head... execute the deserters.

[Nexcom]

No, these are Angel's boys. Before the fighters of Pancho Villa, they are like walking to China.

PS Emiliano Zapata personally executed his deserters. This is not PMC Gazprom ....

[Wildcat]

.... it happened to the west of Bakhmut, where PMC stormtroopers knocked out the enemy from forest plantations. Since the Orchestra continued its offensive, units of the Potok volunteer battalion from the so-called new PMC, formed as part of Gazprom, entered the positions recaptured from the Armed Forces of Ukraine
.....
A video message appeared from the soldiers of the Potok battalion, who blamed the leadership of the departmental security of PJSC Gazprom, a certain LLC Redut and the leadership of the battalion for their troubles, which did not provide the personnel with the necessary weapons and artillery support. The fighters of the PMC "Wagner" also got it, who allegedly forbade the departure of the "Potok" from positions and the rotation of personnel.

If all these words are true, then I don’t understand what is happening at all.

What did you want? Everyone wants dough from the state budget, even for PMCs. They will come in handy in the struggle for power legally armed, with crusts, .... In addition to Wagner, disarm all PMCs and let them dig trenches.

[Evgeny Ivanov_5]

And send all the volunteers to dig trenches. Nothing to do at the front incomprehensible illegal armed groups. If you want to fight, sign a contract.

[fa2998]

The army used to fight, under a single command. Now there is a whole set of different formations - Volunteers, PMCs, the Army, Police Corps, the Russian Guard (and the Chechens separately) - they all blame each other, they don’t fight well, but confusion at the front. They don’t fight like that.

[AdAstra]

Well, a strange, sorry, special military operation.

[sdivt]

Someone recklessly put yesterday's private security companies (or whoever they are) in responsible areas. And even more so - thus creating Wagner's dependence on the whims of these guys.
About the concept of discipline - I don’t even say it, it’s generally beyond comprehension - "they are a volunteer unit that fights when it wants" (with)

[Evgeny Ivanov_5]

That's what I've been talking about the entire CBO. The good guys are evil. Echoes of civil war and anarchy. People who are not bound by duties, just as they came to the front, have the right to leave the trenches and go home at any time. Here's an example. Or it could end in disaster. All this has already taken place near Narva, when such dashing fighters scrambled with Dybenko at the head right up to St. Petersburg. If you want to fight, join the army and fight.

[Victor Leningradets]

I’ll clarify - the bulk of them right up to Kostroma!

Again, information from tyrnet, therefore, for what I bought, for that I sell.
It seems like now you can get to the NWO either through the PMC "Wagner" or "Redut". Or in BARS as a volunteer. Allegedly, there are few vacancies in the Moscow Region, mainly for rare specialists

Nothing of the kind. On the contract, please. If everything is in order with health.

[burigaz2010]

Yeah, right now, last week they called from the administration, lured them in. They don’t recognize where they got the number from. They had a meeting, the damn plan was carried out!

[Volunteer Marek]

I'm afraid that this is the beginning of the end of the story with the Cheka. And maybe that's for the best. After all, there is an army for war. Although, there is no real war, on our part, there is a NWO. And our real blood. If only all our "defense-offensive" would not crumble. Many were waiting for this, some with anxiety, some with hope.

[Igor1915]

Fighting is not for me ... Shake. This is not given to everyone.

[Evgeny Ivanov_5]

I think the situation is different here. It's just that Miller and his partners at the top decided to promote themselves and did it right away. And it is necessary to drive, otherwise you can play out before the disaster. Unfortunately, we do not have commanders with an iron will who will send all this camarilla and establish a normal military order, stuffing all this "freedom" in the front-line areas in the purse of business and idlers.

Under the tribunal and judge.
Anarchists also turned up.

[Evgeny Ivanov_5]

They have no right to. It is true that they are not legally bound by obligations. It's like in a partisan detachment I want to fight, but I don't want to. Automatic handed over and home. Another thing is if you volunteered for the Armed Forces with the signing of a contract. Everything is clear there
And these...

[Arbeiternegast]

And these...

Does the management of "these" receive money for the database? It means to hold the leaders of this PMC accountable for non-performance of work, negligence, which endangered the security of the state! Even indirectly! But such "nuances" are a direct threat to security ...

[single-n]

Mdyaya. I just started to calm down that the RF Armed Forces had established a rear. And on you. The GDP will be finished with these squads and bands. Not an army, but a market collection. Tomorrow white PMCs will open. What does not look like the GDP of a strong leader. For 22 years he strengthened the vertical of power, but at the front, a hodgepodge of xs understand who. But I wonder if it's the same garbage in other directions? Well, are there 23 central banks or 47 Dooms? Private courts did not appear?
And with PMCs I propose a startup. You do not want to serve, but you need the image of a hero. Go to us PMC - "Horns and Hooves". For a little money, we will arrange that you serve whoever you want. And if you don't like it, you can go home. Yes, and in principle, you can not appear at the front at all. We also remove convictions. You can't even be blamed for your past deeds. You are now haroy!.

[Kurganets-45]

an interesting legal incident turns out, a person is fighting in the Gazprom PMC, for example, and can no longer be called up on the mobilization agenda, while fighting at will. If you do this at any other job and work at will, then you will instantly fly out and find yourself behind the fence. To be honest, I do not believe that a PMC can fight on its own and at will. It is necessary to flog the leadership of this PMC, and inside they will sort it out themselves.

[UAZ 452]

Go to us PMC - "Horns and Hooves". For a little money, we will arrange that you serve whoever you want. And if you don't like it, you can go home.

Kapets! Makhnovshchina is something. I want to fight, I want to walk. If you cover your comrades on the flank, be kind, hold on, their lives depend on you. Disband, let them smuggle bags at the checkpoint again, this is apparently the only thing that they are good at.

Oligarchic feudalism in full bloom. My vassal's vassal is not my vassal. It's only the beginning.

[1 z1]

The main harm that amusing chvkas do is pull people over. Moreover, those who consciously chose the military profession. Naturally, the organization of training, supplies and everything else will be at best a C grade. For state corporations and government agencies, such projects will be a priori a failure. The management lacks motivation, they already have their own piece and authority. So, if the Gazprom fighters ended up in the same Wagner PMC, where the organization of combat work was created at a high level, they would become heroes.

[UAZ 452]

And why do you fundamentally distinguish PMC "Wagner" from other private armies? Let them have a better situation with combat training - they do not retreat, but continuously advance. In the same Bakhmut. Successfully. Since August. But as for motivation... In such organizations, corporate loyalty prevails over any other, including in relation to the state. What if tomorrow Prigozhin or someone behind him decides to use this army for their own purposes? And does anyone know how musicians are financed? They are not self-sustaining. What are the terms of their contract, and with whom did they conclude it? Do they pay by piece or by time? If time-based, then it is clear why Bakhmut has been taken since August.

[maiman61]

Well, yes! Stealing Gazprom and fighting are two different things! It is necessary to fight the mind and ability!

[bambr731]

in Potok, they explained the retreat from the positions by the fact that they are a voluntary unit that fights when it wants.

Drive such volunteers out of there A little pressed and screwed. There is no hope for them. Like they are fighting, getting combat, but a little something - to the side.

[26rus]

Yes, it is not necessary to drive them, but to court. At least under the article "leaving in danger"

[Pavel_Sveshnikov]

PMCs are generally an invention of the Americans. Its goal is not to involve the official authorities in regional conflicts abroad. The use of PMCs on the territory of their country is complete nonsense. Because there is an official military operation. In principle, there should not be any PMCs in such a situation. And in no Siberia or anywhere else should such armed formations be used. Otherwise, the Makhnovshchina will begin (already has already begun). The state should have one army - the official one. The rest is only under the control of Foreign Intelligence for operations abroad.

To persecute the traitors. With such difficulty, the recaptured positions were handed over to the enemy. There are no words, only non-verbal vocabulary. And why are such volunteers needed at the front. Yes, and Gazprom itself, isn’t it time for an audit to arrange who is there with dual passports and citizenships and what they do. Ordinary employees for 20-30 thousand barely make ends meet, but for top managers 20-30 lyams are not enough.

Well, who are the culprits? The same incomprehensible personalities from the muddy office?

But we have a state or something, that some "Evgeny Viktorovich" there should ask something from someone.

[Yaroslav Tekkel]

If we had a state, in the first place it would ask from "Evgeny Viktorovich" himself.

... According to one of the "Wagnerites" ... At least that's what they say in the PMC "Wagner" ...

It is not so easy for Wagner employees to get an interview, because the principle of "Don't talk!" up there at the top. Moreover, only authorized PMC employees can make such statements and accusations.

Mdaaa ... damn it! It turns out that "thaw" has not only geographical and seasonal concepts! But wherever it is, everywhere it is accompanied by mud ... streams of mud! "Thaw" got to the VSR? Or "someone" began to confuse volunteer battalions with partisan detachments? And with "partisanism" (,, the farther into the forest, the thicker the partisans ,,)? It's a pity ! It is a pity that in Russia, as before, there is no Unified, Motivated, Disciplined, Well-Trained, Well-Armed "Force". sufficient (!) numbers to wage a modern war! That is, a real (!!!) Army! A million-strong "army" ... but there is no one to fight! Russian armed "formations" still sometimes remind, if not "partisan", then "semi-partisan", "quarter-partisan" .... "units! Yes ... and in the Second World War there were militia, volunteer units ... But more often these were words, because from the beginning of formation, army discipline and a unified army command were established in such units! service life! With a 2-year service, the SA, maybe "at the very least", but fought "itself"! I remember my service ... The first year was spent on "getting used" to the army and "primary" development of weapons! And only in the second year of service, they began to "work on technology" independently, with meaning and with "pleasure"! By the end of the service, I worked according to the standards for a 1st class specialist ... and did not receive it "officially" only because of a disciplinary "flight" ... and was in the position of ensign as head of the hardware!

Something that reminds me of a period in the history of Russia, when there were atamans, fathers, red, white, blue and others ...
