#10 Wagner likes to recruit from Zaslon, Vympl and Smersh units the same way Constellis likes to recruit from US Tier 1 units. Both round out with combat vets who have honorable discharges. And both still need all the logistics, support personnel with slightly lower credentials. Competitive units to join - they need to weed out the big mouth bozos before they deploy.

#5 I see Wagner ad a Constellis peer - this doesn’t make sense. What pro would want known slackers on their flank. Maybe one of the other Russian PMCs … selecting for demining troops or a penal construction group (which the Russians had in WW2). |

#1 @RALee85: Baza reports that >8 prison transport trucks are transporting 400 prisoners in Tambov to a training area in southern Russia (possibly Wagner’s base in Molkino) likely before going to Ukraine. They say 10-12 prison trucks were seen in Belgorod last night. |
