How PMC Wagner ended up on the brink of survival
Wagner will have to change his format radically. Previously, the most effective tactics were the tactics of small assault groups, in fact, the successfully applied and militarily reinforced experience of ISIS.
But now there is no human resource for this. Experienced veterans with serious injuries who can no longer fight at full strength are turning into instructors and rear commanders. But this system requires replenishment by beginners, in very, very large quantities. You will not return a veteran with a healed spine and with plates in the pelvis to the assault formation.
At the same time, to change to a different model – this requires time, which does not exist, understanding is needed, which is also not there yet, and also a powerful supply of equipment and ammunition is needed, which is also gone.
The General Staff could not but understand such an outcome after Soledar. The military are simply waiting for Prigozhin to agree to the status of a local unit within their ranks, but this cannot be, because it cannot be. Because then where to put Prigogine?
Previously, in the same Syria, getting into the Orchestra was an achievement, the selection was crazy. Now – at least to get someone. The rest are already patched and patched, and every day it gets more and more difficult.
Wagner just survive.
