“Wagner will have to change its format radically. Previously, the most effective tactics were 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, turn into instructors and rear commanders. But this system requires feeding by newcomers, in very, very large quantities. You will not return a veteran with a healed spine and plates in the pelvis to the assault formation.
At the same time, to adapt to another model – this requires time, which is not there, you need understanding, which is also not yet available, and you also need a powerful supply of equipment and ammunition, which is also missing.
The General Staff could not help but understand this outcome after Soledar. The military is simply waiting for Prigozhin himself to agree to the status of a local unit within them, but this cannot happen, because it cannot happen. Because what should Prigozhin do then?
Previously, in Syria, getting into the Orchestra was an achievement; the selection process was frantic. Now – at least get someone. Those who remain are already patched up and patched up, and every day it becomes more difficult.
Wagner are simply surviving.”
