"Russian PMCs are late for this market years on 50-60"

114


What do Russian private military companies do? How does their work differ from the work of mercenaries? And how could PMCs make a difference in Syria? These and other questions were answered by Kommersant FM presenter Anatoly Kuzicheva by the head of the RSB Group private military company Oleg Krinitsyn in the framework of the Actors program.

“We cannot occupy the niche that the British already occupy”


Oleg Krinitsyn on the functions of private military companies: “In fact, private military companies are not defined by law, but since we are the heirs of Byzantine jurisprudence, and the fact that we are not prohibited, it is allowed, unfortunately or fortunately. Therefore, having absorbed the most positive experience of foreign private military companies, we began our activities as a private military company since 2011, which is fundamentally different from private security companies.

The task of a private security company is to protect an object or to protect a person’s personal security. The spectrum of our services and our functional obligations are much broader. We work with weapons outside the Russian Federation, and without violating the laws of the Russian Federation or the laws of the host country. The fact is that the laws of other countries in relation to weapons are more loyal than the Russian law on weapons. The Russian law on weapons does not allow the full use of weapons for certain specific tasks. Abroad laws are more loyal, we have the opportunity to officially buy weapons outside, relatively speaking, in Malta, to obtain a license and work within the laws of the country where we are located. Therefore, we understand that the state does not stand behind us, we clearly track that gray border line where the law goes into lawlessness. ”

About working with domestic clients: “Our clients are not only Russian companies, but also foreign ones, they go under various flags, at sea it is so convenient - it could be the flag of Panama, the flag of Belize and other countries. We also protect Russian vessels, Russian research vessels, therefore, in principle, any interested country can hire us within the law. ”

"A person who has seen death will appreciate life"


Oleg Krinitsyn on interaction with the state: “A private military company is an instrument for the continuation of state policy. And where there is not always a benefit and it is not always advisable to use the armed forces for various political moments, for financial moments, for some temporary parameters, foreign countries have long been actively used by these private military companies, which seem to be private traders, but work under a state contract. Accordingly, they are not servicemen, they are not included in the list of fallen servicemen. For example, in Iraq on 1, thousands of dead American military personnel of the order of 1,7 thousand dead contractors, that is, employees of private military companies. But they are not included in the general lists of losses. It is convenient for the state. ”

On the thin line between mercenaries and PMCs: “We do not fight - it falls under the article“ mercenary ”. There is a clear definition of who is a mercenary. If we are not citizens of this country, we are the third country, if we are not combatants, if we receive more reward than soldiers of this country receive in the conduct of hostilities, we fall under the definition of "mercenaries". But if, while ensuring the security and protection of a strategically important facility abroad, we are attacked, then we, according to the contract, contract and law, are obliged to take measures to protect the facility, the life, its own and the client. Here is the gray line, when the person who is engaged in the security, is already moving on to active hostilities in response, counterattacks. And if, say, to use this moment, really, if there were 10-20 in Syria, thousands of employees of private military Russian companies who would work in the interests of the Russian state, naturally, I am sure that the course would be broken stories, and not only in Syria, but also in Libya. "


“We are the only provider of UN security in Russia”

Oleg Krinitsyn wage workers PMC: “In PMCs, in our company there are two levels of employees. The first level of employees is permanent, it is those who provide jobs: lawyers, accountants, operations managers. And there is a variable composition that comes to fulfill the contract. Naturally, they have different salaries. Some people have a stable salary, while others have it depending on the complexity and danger of the contract. But I will say that in any case, our employees receive more than officers in the armed forces receive in the rank of lieutenant colonel, colonel. I believe that people who professionally perform their work risk their lives, they should receive serious money. Naturally, we do not reach the level offered by American leaders to their fighters of private military companies, for example, in Iraq they received $ 500 per day, if they were in the “green zone”, in Baghdad, then about $ 300 per day .

There, our Russians, who worked in foreign companies, received less by an order of magnitude. Naturally, the Pentagon pays for contracts. The infamous Black Water had turnover of about $ 700 thousand per year, after a contract with the Pentagon grew to $ 10 billion, it is clear who orders the music, he dances to this music. Accordingly, we cannot pay such money, but I will tell you that for 12 days of vessel escort, employees receive about $ 2,5 thousand. Plus, I pay them a round-trip flight, insurance $ 250 thousand per person. I am rather scrupulous about people - I’m ready to lose a weapon, I’m ready to lose anything, but human life is very important. ”

On the methods of work of American PMCs: “A private military company is the organism, the structure, which is responsible for supporting the activities of the troops. Americans have a percentage of the loss of 1,7 in relation to the military. But it must be borne in mind that the tactics of the conduct of the battle by the American army are first carpet bombing, a powerful artillery strike, and after that the troops are coming. If they meet with resistance, everything begins all over again, and everything is level with the land: the village, the militants, the women, and the goats, everything that comes under the projectile.

It should be understood that when the regular troops pass, there will be some empty buffer zone behind them. There is a private military company behind the troops, which is carrying out a sweep operation, it is very dangerous, and it’s natural that guerrilla groups that attack are in the rear, therefore many people die. ”

    Russia "has not been led" to your "bazaar", because you cannot create competitive armed units privately, with one benefit - to fill your pockets. And the guard (watchman) we already have 600 ... Among other things, this is contrary to the state military doctrine ...

    Our army and navy reliably protects us, it feeds its military-industrial complex well !!!

      Why did you decide that the task of PMC-stuffing pockets of those in power? From the point of view of the state, this is a convenient tool for continuing politics by force. No one will be indignant at sending PMC employees to Syria, for example, in contrast to sending military personnel, albeit contract service, but supporting Syria in the fight against ISIS is our vital interest, if the militants win, they will come to us, to the Caucasus. And our power structures on our land will already be at war.

              The state can defend its interests by force. But then it is the state.

                Why do you put PMCs and the state on opposite sides? The first is one of the possible tools of the second. For example, in Sudan, a 40-strong Chinese PMC protects the interests of Chinese mining companies, up to the release of hostages together with the Sudanese Armed Forces. Is anyone talking about the PLA in Sudan? No, the Sudanese government is working with the Chinese PMC Horns and Hooves, but the effect is the same. The diplomatic effect is completely different.

                    It seems that some have revised Hollywood consumer goods (The Expendables and others like them).

                    PMCs are not a military base, somewhere in the vastness of Russia, where its entire staff (10 thousand people, for example) hangs out daily with weapons and in full gear. And there is nothing to do, with the same weapon he roams around neighboring villages and cities, causing fear, because they (PMC employees), in your opinion, must certainly be drug addicts / alcoholics / sadists / rapists, etc.

                    Yes you rave !!!

                    For example. PMCs, with a staff of 10 thousand people (list employees, by the way), are actually located in one office building (one floor is enough) and consists of 15-20 employees (those who are on permanent duty) who never see weapons their daily activities (lawyers, accountants, personnel officers, logisticians, system administrators, etc.).
                    All the rest, in your opinion - mercenaries "thugs" - These are several fireproof cabinets with 9980 profiles of those who expressed a desire to work under the contract (they passed the initial interview, checks for the sins of the past, professional suitability and honey commission). The maximum is the rental of a pair of shooting ranges / climbing slides / pools / racetracks for extreme driving, etc. And this is only to prepare the next batch for sending (not all 9980 people, namely a group of 5,10,20 people).
                    And when a PMC has an order, say for escorting a ship - 5 people, they select candidates from the list of questionnaires (personnel officers), 50 people (most suitable in their skills), weeding out many (those who are busy - service, injury, business trip, etc.) etc.) are already specifically recruiting the necessary "five" with which a contract is concluded for the duration of the vessel's escort. Well, there is additional instruction, of course, small workouts, again health checks, etc.

                    So, these weapons mercenaries "thugs" receive only at the place of fulfillment of their duties (on board the vessel) and hand it in there, on the implementation of the contract. And they use weapons in accordance with the laws of the country in whose territory they fulfill their duties.

                    So your "childhood" fears and ignorance of the elementary principles of the functioning of any PMC, and especially the legal framework of all this, just make you funny. The USA with their approach is not an authority here. The United States has a "one-stop" approach to everything, both in politics and in the rest.

                    Of course, PMCs have many contracts, but most employees (according to profiles) can only engage in some kind of war / conflict, and MOT ONLY with the permission and full support of the state (even if not publicizing it). And in normal times, much less than 10% of all available employees (waiting for a contract) are involved. Because 100% of the staff of PMCs in the territory of their country (outside of the assignment) is without weapons and most are in different places (at home). With weapons, only those who are currently training in shooting ranges, their number is negligible.

                    So most mercenaries in ordinary life simply do their daily work, rather than ruining villages laughing


                    So, then, did it scare you so much?
                    This is not a sect that is united by one idea, whose members will go to any trick of their "masters".

                    But this is an effective way to maintain our "forceful" presence where there are our political or economic interests. Our army does not even have enough transports to make the required number of "walkers" to Syria alone. And about hundreds of places around the world ... these are just fantasies and fabulous sums.

                    And PMCs on a civilian ship can move to any place and act in collaboration with local authorities, they do not need constant convoys of warships and ambitious infrastructure.

                      A soldier who fights for money is called a mercenary. The one who pays more to fight. World history is full of examples of the transfer of mercenaries from one "customer" to another during one campaign. Wild geese, landsknechts, etc. N A E M N I K I, PMC is just another sign that obscures the unsightly face of the murderers for D E N L G I.

                        Mmm. Examples are possible when a group of mercenaries, consisting of citizens of one state, went over to the side of another and attacked their own. Religious, political and other reasons, please do not name. It's about money. And I am ready to see from you a long list of mercenary armies attacking their own states, their own villages, cities, families, only for money.

                        I understand that when a mercenary is the face of a third country, this is one thing. And when a mercenary in the service of his own state is another.

                        Any person working for money is a hired person. The question is only in the sphere of activity and how it is regulated by the state.

                        For your example, you can summarize corrupt cops, military coups, etc. Well, most coups were arranged by mercenary forces from outside and by the forces of our own army and special services, in those countries where there were no mention of our own mercenaries.

                        Can official examples say that a PMC employee should be a hit man? Purflinks in the studio. Do not offer delusional dreams.

                        Learn a better topic. A mercenary is the same private security officer who is paid for protection, only he has more serious weapons and is in an unfriendly atmosphere (war, armed conflict, etc.) and both will defend themselves when attacking them. Only everyone due to circumstances and available funds.

                        You will be surprised, but in a combat situation, sacrifices are inevitable.

                        Do private security companies also have the task of killing? And if they are placed in the midst of a military conflict?

                        If an employee of a private company "we poison cockroaches" is sent to poison people, and not insects, will he at least be surprised?

                        Or plumbing will be sent to a burning house, unscrew the toilet. Yes, he will send you to hell.

                        The bottom line is what a person "subscribes to".

                        Any company has statutory tasks, and staff gets acquainted with their functions before proceeding with their implementation.

                        Those. if a company under the control of special services and people are hired according to the laws of the Russian Federation, this does not mean that all those hired by magic will immediately become violators of the law.

                        But we just don’t have enough legislative base to regulate these issues and keep this business under control. Those. Liberians have no desire in power

                        What are you talking about! And where in the vastness of the Russian Federation the private security company needs to "pull the thread"? Tell the fighters of RSVG 42 MSD that their private security company can replace them. This is a common military operation with a lot of nuances, starting with the collection and analysis of information.
                        Which private security company in the Russian Federation provides employees with insurance of 100-250 thousand dollars, which private security company needs employees with good knowledge of English and Arabic, knowledge of the law, skills at the level of special forces soldier, which private security personnel can be attacked by a gang of 50-60 people with CCP, with grenade launchers, am I not talking about JI? These are completely different costs, both financial and organizational.

                        It feels like the military in Russia is ending on the RSVG 42 MSD fighters. But for some reason it seems to me that a sufficient number of trained people from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation found themselves in civilian life in ordinary private security companies. And they will be able to collect and analyze information, and they will also be able to cope with security.

                        PMCs grew up in the west to provide former military personnel with more legal income than a mercenary's remuneration. In fact, a PMC is a private security company created by the former military, and in addition to pure security, it offers specific services - demining, maintenance of equipment, management of this equipment in countries where the qualifications of the locals do not allow locals to do this, etc. But from this the PSC does not cease to be PSC. And since military private security companies operate abroad, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it seems to me, is strongly opposed, I do not want to produce work for myself. Here, a tanker, captured empty, accused of smuggling and seized in international waters, does not know how to get it. And if a patrol ship approaches the tanker in international waters in the economic zone of Nigeria and, shaking the trunks of Oto Melara, escorts it to the port, the Foreign Ministry will have to somehow explain that the people with weapons captured on it are tanker guards, and not a detachment of mercenaries for a coup. And believe me, in a country where a traffic violation is called "$ 100", and their absence leads to a temporary confiscation of a license or a car, it will be difficult for our diplomats to explain that the former fighters of RSVG 42 MSD are only guarding the tanker.

                        It feels like the military in Russia is ending on the RSVG 42 MSD fighters. But for some reason it seems to me that a sufficient number of trained people from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation found themselves in civilian life in ordinary private security companies. And they will be able to collect and analyze information, and they will also be able to cope with security.

                        So do you have a feeling or is there such a level of structure that exists in Russia? And where did I write only about RSVG?
                        In theory, yes, in practice ... you get a unique structure that is useless and does not meet the "cost / efficiency" criterion. In practice, private security companies are strangled by the Law on Private Security and Detective Activities, Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Okhrana", lack of a field for activity, dumping by private security companies "for a year". Private security structures in Russia, most often have unprofessional and unprepared security personnel (40% with purchased licenses), who (as a rule) work "for wear and tear" on a rotational basis for 15 days for 15-20 thousand, and then, returning from work, home, instead of professional training and rest, they continue to "work hard" on other "part-time jobs." To what extent do you think such structures are effective?
                        According to statistics, police officers are much more likely to use unreasonable weapons to kill, participate in corruption and criminal scandals, shoot down people at cars at pedestrian crossings, etc., but the LRO’s weapons are taken from the private security companies, inventing orders that he himself does not know how to execute .This is a SYSTEM created by public authorities.

                        A private security company that will undertake such a contract, on which 50-60 people with granotometami can attack it and get it, that will provide insurance to people with knowledge of Arabic ...


                        Probably, someday, maybe ... There are no preconditions for this within the country, primarily based on the cost / efficiency criterion.

                        And since the military private security companies operate abroad, our Foreign Ministry, it seems to me, strongly against it, does not want to produce work for itself.


                        Maybe instead of writing obvious nonsense, you should familiarize yourself with the legal field on which PMCs work? There is a fairly clearly defined framework in which you can work legally, why invent fables?

                        There is, but in all senses (in fact, legally) it will not be chop.
                        The current legislation does not in any way prevent PMCs from working abroad (Korotkov, article "Does Russia Need Its Blackwater. Fontanka), moreover, if the sensational law on PMCs is adopted, it will only interfere with the registration of PMCs in Russia.

                        It follows that the president and the government are not opposed to the Russian PMCs, but they want their registration not to be connected with Russia. That is, if special services use PMCs, then Russia has nothing to do with it. And if PMCs get stuck on their contracts, then Russia has nothing to do with it again. The Foreign Ministry intervenes only if Russian citizens are detained. And the fact that they work for the Cyprus PMC, Russia has nothing to do with it. Again, a Cyprus-registered company is easier to own with a General of the Ministry of Defense or the FSB. After all, there is no doubt who will own fully or partially such companies.

For in the waters of Nigeria, there is a need to accompany the court? There is. Has Nigeria detained Russian ships? Delayed.
                        And the legality of the contracts of the Nigerian authorities will be of little interest, but the presence of weapons on board a civilian vessel will be of interest. In African languages ​​there is no word corruption. There are other definitions of this phenomenon.

                        This bill was created by the efforts of two deputies, closely associated with the security business. The project itself is clumsy and designed for a monopolist who can invest 100 million rubles (registered capital) and take the market. At the same time, 3 more documents on PMCs are being developed in other organizations. Your discussions about the intentions of the president and the government have nothing to do with reality.

                        Therefore, weapons are obtained in neutral waters from floating arsenals for rent.

                        For example, in Iraq we can work with weapons under the license of our Iraqi partners. However, we also have in our possession reliable small arms that are officially acquired in the country with the permission of regulatory authorities, end-user certificates, export licenses and import licenses have been obtained.

                        We thoroughly study the laws in the country where our work begins, and we know all the requirements for moving with weapons.

                        For example, in India you cannot go ashore with weapons. In this case, the weapon is stored on board in a sealed state.

                        If it is forbidden to enter the territorial waters with weapons, we store weapons on floating platforms in neutral waters. There are many ways, without breaking the law, to carry out their tasks.

                        Some countries allow the movement of security personnel with weapons if they have the correct documents and notify the police.

                        In general, the situation is this: we are a Russian company, and the shipowner’s security contract with us is with us - i.e. with a Russian company.

                        There is information that the case with the employees of MORAN-GROUP in Nigeria was the work of competitors from Foggy Albion. What is now to lose profit due to unfair competition?

                        I’m not protecting our citizens and their property abroad. It is not clear to me why to be called a private MILITARY company, if the main functions are security? Even if these are special conditions that require special organization, weapons and some specific knowledge. The term "military company" implies that in addition to security, the company can also be engaged in "attack". And these are pure mercenaries.

                        I don’t care. But our lawmakers will not want private issues to include such issues as participation in military conflicts, intelligence gathering, strategic planning, logistics and consulting. Since state monopolies and large companies like Lukoil will use public services, or the services of companies in the country where the business is located.

                    Obviously, this is not quite so. Any military action is politically motivated, and PMCs break this relationship. Therefore, the state is the main customer, and in that context, military and intelligence operations should not be confused with security operations.

                      In any state, if there is some more developed, even just a security structure, then its activities are always under the control of special services with the aim of "if anything" to use it in their own interests, without giving out their own participation.

                      And PMCs are simply inextricably linked with the special services. For any of the foreign PMCs, not one employee of the special services of the country of "residence" of the PMC is officially assigned, but entire departments that coordinate its actions, "suggest" how best to deal with this or that contract, which affects national interests and, in turn, "feed" the PMC government contracts.
                      In the modern world, the need for the participation of the same CIA in foreign operations that are not military in nature, but in all kinds of internal coups, etc. has disappeared. entrusted to PMCs, and those, in turn, if they "cover themselves" then the State Department is not in business. Everything is smart and competent. And you don't need to send your military to guard your own business in dangerous regions.

                      This is a projection of power, and without government obligations to other countries.

                      For example, our "business trip" ... the same mercenaries, even for an idea or by order, and not for monetary reward, but each time these are special cases when the state itself needs to do everything from scratch every time and there is a great danger of getting caught. If there were PMCs, this would be done much faster, more professionally and safer for the image of Russia.

                    How can you not understand. The holidaymaker came to defend his homeland. You can’t entice him with cookies. He has an idea. PMCs have an idea, money.

                    Everything is simple, in the USA a "private trader" is cheaper than a soldier of the regular army .. PMCs have large one-time payments, and government agencies have extended payments and, as a result, come out much more (pensions, medical care, social security insurance). Capitalism uses everything that is cheaper, there was a conscript in Vietnam, it was cheaper to use them, now they are contractors, and this is not only long-term expenses but also political problems in case of death or injury, plus a lot of questions why the hell do guys die for someone's financial interests, which also results in in expenses (media, propaganda, etc.) And in the case of PMCs, everyone understands that the contract has been concluded and everything must be fulfilled .. This fits perfectly with the way of thinking of the capitalist world. As much as we do not want to, we are also now a part of this world, and therefore we must use the competitive advantages of this system, otherwise it will not be two and a half .. Enough to play Lecyist girls, because of this cleanliness we have always lost the world, although we won all wars. tales about the fact that for money to fight like zapadlo is hypocrisy, and who then are contract soldiers and officers? You tell me they defend their homeland, well, so the interests of the homeland are very diverse, and I think that personally you would not want to go to the ends of the world without having at least some guarantees of compensation for your risk, I think it is not necessary to remind you how you dealt with the veterans of numerous conflicts? An employee of a PMC at least takes a conscious risk and agrees to compensate for this risk, this is much better and more honest than in the event of a failure of delicate operations, the state refuses its people ..

                  I agree with the author that PMCs are needed in Russia. Laws are needed, which will indicate the restrictions on the actions of these enterprises on the territory of the Russian Federation. The author is right that if PMCs (for example, "hired" by the Supreme Rada of Crimea) or in the Donbas participated in Crimea, then it is not known how sanctions would be imposed against us. After all, the "democratic" governments of the West do this and the whole world is silent. There would be no need to classify our losses in peacetime in the army, there would be no denial from our "former" servicemen who were captured by the junta. In the West, PMCs are even armed with aviation and nothing, no one is trying to seize power in the state. PMCs are created to carry out state policy by armed means, without the use of armed forces, i.e. legally, the state is not in business.

                    Let me support you and add on your own. The activities of PMCs (registered in the Russian Federation) are both a mass of jobs for "specialists" trained by the state at one time, and taxes to budgets, and state orders, and will pull some economic organizations, etc.
                    The activities of PMCs are quite clearly regulated by federal law, as are the activities of private security companies. Not a single PMC is able to withstand, in the event of force majeure, the military and special forces of state structures. You understand that the possibilities will be limited by caliber and types of weapons, and controlled even by the same FSB and MO combined.
                    And what, sorry, to hell, mercenarism, if this is an official organization in our country in the commercial register.
                    As an example, I will cite "hiring" by government agencies to both Chechen companies through military enlistment offices, or, if someone does not know, then there are already analogues of PMCs, in fact, large corporations (with appropriate weapons), VOKHRs and private security companies, some of them, in fact contractors.
                    In the future, this is a unique Russian foreign policy toolkit.

                    I will give an example (by type of activity I had to observe and collide) from the Former Yugoslavia, where some of our volunteers settled down. So they are engaged in humanitarian mine clearance! Territories, for example Bosnia, where only counted minefields for 70 years of work. And the UN hires them! Question to opponents of PMC idea - is this also an act of mercenary?

                      That’s completely for you. Here's another aspect. It is no secret that after the end of the service or contract, in "civilian life" there are good, and sometimes very well-trained specialists who in their life do not know how to do anything except how to fight well.

                    Our PMCs will quickly create real competition for foreigners. The Russian peasants, just from the best side, proved themselves in the world.
                    And the activity of PMCs is not only the protection and posting of columns, but also demining, training, humanitarian missions, ensuring the election process in countries with difficult military-political conditions, assisting the army of their country in peacekeeping operations, working for international humanitarian organizations and much more. The scale of organization and financing with state points of view - many times less in terms of mobility and efficiency, too.
                    Leasing of military equipment, defense industry products is also possible. And this, you know, stimulates the economy. Plus, the likelihood (most likely) to legitimize combat short-barrels, including and the civilian environment, and improving legislation on the necessary (and long overdue!) self-defense of oneself, loved ones, one’s land, home and property.
                    Why put Russian (possible!) PMCs on the same scale with the same "Black Water" or MPRI, which carried out the liquidation of the Serbian Caribbean. Its own code of honor and state ideology, like those of power state structures, and even legislatively supported, because no one will be against the implementation.
                    And the so-called. disassembly of "clans and organizations" is just effectively "taking place" within the "legal field" with the use of state power structures. The rest is from the field of the theory of "possible-probable" in the collapse of the socio-political system.

        Oleg Krinitsyn on interaction with the state: “A private military company is a tool to continue state policy. And where it is not always useful and not always advisable to use the armed forces for various political issues, for financial issues, for some temporary parameters, then foreign countries have long been actively using these private military companies, which seem to be private traders, but they work under the state contract.
        - from article

        PMCs in matters of state protection, in the interests of Russia, can and should be used, especially in places where the Russian armed forces cannot be exposed, so as not to expose Russia to criticism and all sorts of sanctions.
        PMCs have long been an instrument of international politics, this is an objective reality, and not taking this into account and not using it is stupid.
        As an example, where it is necessary to use PMCs, in addition to those specified in the article, - DRN and LPR, to protect the pro-Russian population, to protect women and children from the Nazis.

          PMCs in matters of state protection, in the interests of Russia, can and should be used, especially in places where the Russian armed forces cannot be exposed, so as not to expose Russia to criticism and various kinds of sanctions.
          PMCs have long been an instrument of international politics, this is an objective reality, and not taking this into account and not using it is stupid.


          I carefully read the article and remain in my opinion.

          PMCs? Or, perhaps, special services? Maybe the state needs to be consistent both in its policy and in relation to its citizens performing "work" (service, assignment) on foreign territory? It is quite possible that all issues are resolved by diplomatic negotiations, by the services of the country-subject.

          About "light up". Undoubtedly, it is convenient to hide behind the backs of "polite people in military uniform" or black-haired, bearded Balts (for example). But it is more correct, decent and worthy, and, most importantly, to solve problems under the state flag under the state flag, bearing responsibility not only for their actions, but also for the deeds and actions of the military personnel who have taken the oath of allegiance to this very state. And then share together the joy of victory and the bitterness of defeat.
          That is the kind of state approach, in my opinion, that it should approach all issues related to service in the armed units of the country and the possible actions of these units in foreign territory.

No one will be indignant at sending PMC employees to Syria, for example, in contrast to sending military personnel, albeit contract service, but supporting Syria in the fight against ISIS is our vital interest, if the militants win, they will come to us, to the Caucasus. And our power structures on our land will already be at war.

        I completely agree. And the fact that Russian PMCs were late to the market by 50-60 years is also unconditional.
        The state has already begun to change the doctrine of its PMCs. And if the state correctly consolidates everything legislatively, then Russia will quickly catch up with the lag. Since there are professionals in military affairs in Russia like nowhere, and professionals of the highest level. And it became clear to everyone that there was no turning back. For PMCs the future. If the state needs to protect its interests abroad, if it is impossible or unwilling to use the army, PMCs go there. If the state needs to show its presence in troubled zones, it’s stupid to drive conscripts there, and peacekeepers need a consultation at the UN, PMCs go there again. If you need to protect your citizens, factories or oil fields abroad, this is again the work of PMCs. Covering civilian ships in the seas, etc. I'm not talking about hot spots where a group of professionals can solve the conflict in the direction in which the state is interested.
        And whoever and how did not relate to PMCs, calling them mercenaries, thugs, and unprincipled personalities, still the future lies with them. Since they have one unrivaled factor, these people get money for exactly what they do, and they take their work absolutely seriously, and if they die, then conscripts abandoned for slaughter, and going to it consciously, and the family in case what gets insurance. So my personal opinion is that they still have the future, and if they are properly legislated into the framework, when private companies do not go into lawlessness, but execute state contracts, and the rest of the contracts are under the strict supervision of the state and relevant special services, and while the time was protected by the state, this would make life easier for many, and most conflicts would nullify.

          Among other things, PMCs have a legal cover for the presence of special services in the region.
          Where do you see the contradiction?
          Mobile and well-equipped companies operating within the framework of state contracts have a number of advantages over state power structures.
          1. The ability to conduct reconnaissance operations of various plans, including the "legend" of intelligence officers of our state.
          2. The absence of a visible relationship with government agencies and thus the lack of "exposure" in case of unsuccessful events.
          3. The absence of an inflated controlling state, which speeds up decision-making in conjunction: the commander of the security group is the project manager.
          4. A private structure can operate “regardless” of the State, and make deliveries to repair Russian military equipment to countries where an official Russian presence is not desirable.
          5. On the basis of the Russian security company abroad, it is possible to deploy a collection point or a place for work for employees of Russian special surveillance teams, again using the “legend” of the Russian security company (PMC).
          6. One of the main advantages of finding such Russian companies abroad is the creation of a kind of operational reserve, armed with modern automatic weapons, communications, encryption and decryption to protect employees of diplomatic missions and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this country in case of escalation and aggravation of the political and military situation . These security groups will protect and evacuate employees of Russian companies and their families, as well as carry out armed security at embassies and representative offices abroad. A striking example is the evacuation of employees of the Russian Embassy in Libya

    Of course it smells. Well this is the prerogative of all "Black Ops" - black deals. But the black deeds of the United States in "non-democratic" countries does not mean that we need PMC troops for the same. For the same and in the same form, we do not need them. Our army needs "invisible hands" in order to quickly find itself here and there, and to counteract EVIL.

    PMCs - for the state, this is a good option to get rid of people with combat experience, but who are not suitable according to the questionnaire or psychological profile for service in law enforcement agencies. And so they are in plain sight of what they are doing to track simply and if they become 200th, then the state will not incur any costs.

    We can argue about the fact that we were late for 50-60 years. Our PMCs are owned by Gazprom, Lukoil, EMERCOM, Russian Railways, etc. In essence, PMCs are an instrument of power and pursue its policy at an unofficial level. By protecting the gas pipeline, you can control really huge areas countries including cities, conduct intelligence, collect internal information.
    I think, in connection with the specifics of this service, we don’t know anything about this and what they sometimes write in the media, the percentage of information reality is not more than 10-15%

      Gazprom and Transneft are state-owned companies whose protection has slightly broader powers in the use of weapons. They don’t even have machine guns, what kind of army is this? Even in the case of serious interest in sabotage groups, what thread of the suicide state will have to attract internal troops.

    I agree, murderous for money is an infamy! PMCs are not private security companies, they are fighting, not guarding, they are just killers for money. There are lovers of killing, and so in PMCs they combine business with pleasure. It would be better if we were late forever!

    You dear do not understand anti-piracy actions! You cannot attach a warship to each merchant ship. See traffic through Suez. Not enough world navy.
    Pirate Tactics - Speed. Appear suddenly, go boarding. Everything, the ship is captured. Hostages. Then only an assault, with victims. PMCs are on duty 24 hours. The soldiers are armed. And often pirates, seeing that on board the soldiers of PMCs, bypass the ship.

    Russia was late with capitalism by 299 years, hence the "problems" with PMCs. But we are developing in a trend.
    The hired army in which they serve under the contract most closely matches the capitalist form of ownership. From here it’s close at hand to PMCs. Since the mercenary does not have a nationality, why not, if necessary, buy PMC services on the world market for these services.

    PMCs are not only units authorized to conduct certain military operations. This is, first of all, in the light of the rapidly changing circumstances of the whole structure of life, and a new opportunity to practice new types of tactical actions. This is a unique opportunity to develop new types of specific weapons. In any case, war is a kind of art, and therefore approaches are changing to optimize and increase the effectiveness of military operations. And here it is worth saying that many innovative developments can give a significant advantage in the achievement and implementation of the tasks set. In general, who understands, he will understand.

    Vladimir. Think about the words. Private Military Campaign. Private, and also military. For actions behind the cordon, this is a criminal armed organization. If it has not been hired, this is the state. But this is already a mercenary.
    For domestic action, gang formation. [/ Quote]

    So. If you decide to express your opinion, then maybe it was worth a little familiarization with the topic of discussion? PMCs operate in accordance with international law and the laws of the host country. There is a fairly clear framework between mercenarism and the provision of military services by a private military company.
    Almost all large Russian companies operating abroad, including in areas with high terrorist activity, use either local personnel or security guards from other countries for their protection, mainly the British, Americans and South African citizens.
    From the point of view of state security of the Russian Federation, this is not acceptable. Why?
    1.1. Cost overruns, a huge corruption component, the creation of conditions for a system of “kickbacks” and the withdrawal of money from the company's turnover for various needs not controlled by the Russian tax authorities abroad. Moreover, most often, for work abroad, Russian companies use offshore companies. A vivid example - LUKOIL Overseas LTD used British PMCs for protection, payment of 1 British pounds per day per person, this created an enormous financial burden, subsequently the services were refused in favor of the local Iraqi PMCs, naturally with a deterioration in the quality of protection.
    2. An object guarded by the Americans can be attacked by militants simply because of the nationality of the guards.
    3. Local guards may be the target of an attack due to religious affiliation, as a result of professional affiliation of the families of the guards (like a layer cake-brother in the militia, a matchmaker in the police, etc.).
    4. The staff owns various forms of access to various commercial and classified information, which, in principle, interests the special services of the country on behalf of which the security company operates. Blackmail, bribery, recruitment, industrial espionage, abduction and murder. A striking example of this is the abduction of six RUSAL employees in Nigeria for the purpose of ransom in 2006.

    [quote = strannik1985] PMCs like a knife, you can kill a person, or you can remove appendicitis [/ quote]
    Pay. And removing the appendix, it will kill.
    Am I wrong? [/ Quote]
    If, at the same time, PMCs are blacklisted and lose their license, no, reputational and financial losses are too great.
    Understand one simple thing - one way or another, Russian companies will conduct business abroad and use the services of PMCs, ours or foreign.

      [quote = sogdianec] The concept of Homeland and Honor is not for everyone here.
      It is not that simple. The point is not that "servicemen receive money," but in what socio-economic formation, who pays them and for what.
      The "honor" of a nobleman is understandable, but a nobleman has no concept of "Motherland", but has a clear vassal relationship with a sovereign, whom he can sometimes choose. So, after Poltava and the flight of Charles XII, the Baltic (Swedish) nobles switched to the Russian service, became Russians. The nobleman might not have been paid money: the nobleman had, at least, a village, the serfs who supported him, the draft people.
      The "honor" of a soldier of the Red and Soviet Army is not afraid of suffering and death in the struggle for the cause of communism, to endure the hardships and deprivations of military service (together with his family, which, in principle, does not count). For a soldier of the Soviet Army - "Motherland" is the socialist Fatherland, the world socialist system. He was a soldier and at the same time a fighter for the triumph of communism throughout the world.
      There is no need to fight for the affirmation of the principles of capitalism. They are already approved.
      Things like "Motherland" and "honor" in the framework of bourgeois morality can be sold. But what buys the bourgeois is not honor, but the ability to do the job and only at the market price (or below) to make his own profit. The hired worker, selling himself, cannot dictate his own price. The essence of bourgeois entrepreneurship: if 300% of the profit, then there is no crime that he will not dare to, even under penalty of a gallows. And he cannot be blamed for this: he cannot change his essence.
      Capitalism is a global system. The Government of the Russian Federation in 1991 headed for the inclusion of the Russian economy in the processes of globalization. But the bourgeoisie, which exploits the population, does not have a fatherland, so capital flees to offshore, that is, to the United States and Great Britain.
      Before a soldier who has only one life, sooner or later these important questions must arise. They are answered by ideology. But in 1991, our ideology was abolished as not meeting international standards.
      Now about the rhetorical question: [quote = sogdianec] Will the Muslim Brotherhood or ISIS be able to use the services of Russian PMCs? [/ quote]
      The leaders of these structures, in principle, are PMCs themselves. But for mass character, they also formulated an "ideology". They are not staging a show for the sake of cutting off the heads of the "infidels", but to assert their ideological postulates. The masses of Middle Eastern proletarians do not die for money, or not only for money. But by dying, they bring profit to the owners of this business. If you pay Russian PMCs, the profitability of the business will fall. But the posing of the question speaks for itself.
