A little more about the degradation of the "second world army".

I watched a video with a captive fighter of PMC "Redoubt", which belongs to the

state corporation Gazprom. The company also created two more PMCs - "Torch" and "Flame.

Then it transferred these PMCs to the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

And this is taking into account the fact that PMCs are outside the law in Russia ...

Actually, at first glance there is nothing special in this video, the Ukrainians have

once again filled their exchange fund, but still there is an interesting point.

At a time when all the information space is filled with the Wagner group,

very few people have heard about the activities of this very PMC "Redoubt". And this, by the way,

is one of the oldest and most professional Russian PMCs, existing since 2008 as Redoubt-Antiterror.

Professional component was provided by backbone of the retired special forces of

the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia, the Russian Defense Ministry and the 45th

Guards Spetsnaz Brigade. This PMC was on a high account with the Ministry of Defense,

which explains their co-location at the main base of the Ministry.

In general, this is not a gathering of Prigozhin's convicts, but an elite PMC. But there is a nuance.

In 2022, PMC Redoubt participates in a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and begins to

lose personnel at an unprecedented rate. In fact, the elite PMC was shrinking by leaps and bounds,

and now, in April 2023, its member, who is actually a guard, is taken prisoner.

That is, not a former commando special forces trooper, or an elite Foreign Intelligence Service

thug, but a security guard from Gazprom. Yes, with experience of military service, and knows

how to assemble and disassemble the machine gun, but the devil is always in the details.

They already lack even a retired "elite"?

Total degradation continues and this is just another little detail.

Professional special forces grow over the years, and the special forces school itself takes decades

to form. In fact, in Ukraine right now it is not just the Russian active Special Forces

that are being dismantled, but the school as a whole, which will be impossible to restore.

Before I continue, I ask you to subscribe to my channel, it will help to promote it.

Meanwhile, state propaganda resources enthusiastically report that "Russian

troops have begun using the latest T-14 Armata main battle tanks to fire on Ukrainian positions.

But at the end they stipulate: "they have not yet been involved in direct assault actions."

And what happened and how long will this "yet" last?

That is - the newest tank, the best of the best, with radar and uninhabited turret is shooting at

Ukrainian positions from afar. Because the designers of this wunderwaffle did not put

in it the possibility to meet the "Javelin" at the parades on the Red Square in Moscow.

The Javelins are not yet flying there, but the drones are already expected by May 9.

If we delve into history, we can remember how the super tank stalled on Red Square,

and later on, it couldn't even drive onto a tow truck by itself.

The time will tell how far this PR-tank will go on Ukrainian black soil.

I'm wrapping up for today, but I'll see you all tomorrow.
