Everything is turned upside down here. You can't fight for Russia without signing a contract with the Ministry of Defense. Otherwise, where will you get weapons and ammunition? The Mariupol Zoo was destroyed, the lions were saved. And don't invent stories that repeat Ukrainian fantasies. The Hispaniola unit is a very effective combat unit. And football fans always remain football fans in any country. Judging by the flags of football clubs, with which the Espanyola fighters take pictures opposite the defeated armored vehicles, fans of CSKA, Zenit, Voronezh Fakel, Yaroslavl Shinnik and other large and small clubs are currently fighting in the trenches of Donbass. "Contradictions among fans of different clubs are prohibited. All this should be left somewhere out there, far away. Just like drinking alcohol," the Spaniard tells war correspondent Alexander Sladkov. Violators of these rules are sent home forever. The discipline is not just strict, it is super-strict. Getting into the unit is also not easy - you can only become a soldier of "Espanyola" by recommendation. One of the advantages is the high level of support for the fighters. The fighters are regularly rotated and undergo training at training grounds in the rear. Everything is as it should be for all military people.

@@Bakalakalajihad сс Галичина это последователи Нацистской Германии и власть Украины состоит из этих людей. Служба безопасности Украины, состоит из последователей Бандеры. По этому когда нам пытаются рассказать что нацизм в России. Ну тогда нацизм в США в первую очередь и фашизм открытый. Потому что конгрессмен США может говорить в открытую что жаль что мы не перебили всех Иракцев. И всё это он говорит Иракцу 😁🤷Или то что президент США, считает США исключительной страной, которая выше всех. Это признаки фашизма и нацизма. А вот Путин, говорит что все страны и нации ровны по правам. И стоит только посмотреть как Русские относятся к другим странам и вы поймёте что нацизм и фашизм это не про Россию.

There was...damn, I forget which channel, but there was a fairly deep-dive listing of the various PMCs, and seems almost to be a status symbol for Russian oligarchs and organs of government/business to maintain their own little PMCs. Wagner set too good a precedent. It also makes me wonder who in authority is sponsoring these Espanola goofballs.

[@santoriniblue8413]

@@MM22966 Most where a spin-off of those Company's Security Units ... be it to provide bodyguard services or to secure vital installations. Wagner, was the one that pioneered taking it a step further, to full combat services. They where the norn since Antiquity until the appearance of large conscript armies with the French Revolution, that they practically disappeared. The switch of many countries to smaller volunteer professional Armies, and the aversion to casualties in modern society, has prompted to outsource this to 3rd parties. The French Foreign Legion could be considered at least in its origins as a State-owned MC. Ditto for the Spanish Foreign Legion whose founder used these as a blueprint, throwing in some other ingedients like terminology of the Spanish Tercios and some Bushido bullshit ... to channel local and international scum and obtain a Shock Force that could perform tasks more efficiently and that where out of scope for the Conventional Conscript Army in Northern Morocco in the 1920s; as well as later in their Civil War ... where they did achieve great military deeds, but with high casualties.
