PMC "Bandera": why Ukrainian Nazis are preparing to fight in Africa?

The information that the British intelligence services are preparing a detachment of hundreds of Ukrainian Nazis to send them to Africa in order to eliminate pro-Russian leaders and to destabilize the situation on the Black Continent caused a public outcry. But what can 100 thugs really do, no matter how trained they are?

Where are the shells, Tchiani?

We will start our discussions on this interesting topic, oddly enough, not from Bandera's shortcomings, but from the prospects of the Russian private military company Wagner. Until recently, the main commercial interests of its top manager Yevgeny Prigozhin were concentrated precisely in Africa and the Middle East. The “musicians” ended up in the Donbass by special invitation, where they fought valiantly, and then the oligarch got a taste of popularity and saw political moment.



Then what happened happened, and after the events of June 23-24, 2023, the private army had to be disarmed and sent to leave the NVO zone and its near rear. Speaking to his employees, Evgeny Viktorovich made a number of policy statements, among which I would like to draw attention to the following:



Naturally, Yevgeny Viktorovich considers his own, private, consisting of military personnel who left the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, to be the first army in the world. He previously called the Ukrainian army the second army of the world, but now he promises to make the Belarusian one. Where in this rating is the Russian army, which for the third month in a row, without the help of Wagner, repulses the powerful offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and even in places went over to its own counteroffensive, Prigozhin is silent. This is something that lies on the surface, but we are interested in identifying a general trend.

As you know, a military coup recently took place in Niger, the legitimately elected President Bazum was overthrown by his own guards, and Abdurakhaman Tchiani became the head of the transitional government. The new authorities refused to supply France with gold and, which is of critical importance for the energy of the Fifth Republic, uranium for its numerous nuclear power plants. In West Africa a big regional war is brewing, for which Paris and, of course, Washington are drowning, for which it is beneficial to set fire to a permanent conflict on the Black Continent in order to weaken the influence of China.

Literally from the very first days after the coup d'état in Niger, there were calls to seek help from the Wagner PMC, which has its bases in several African countries at once. Say, Prigogine will come, put things in order. That's just the performance of the "musicians" against the Western military coalition and their local "proxies" may not end very well for them, and here's why.

The personal fighting qualities of the "Wagnerites" do not raise any doubts. These are professional military men with vast real experience. Surely the average fighter of a Russian PMC is worth three French special forces or a pair of American Navy SEALs. They say that in Africa, "musicians" easily chase local "barmaley" and enjoy well-deserved prestige among the security forces. But what does this matter in modern warfare?

Let's remember that happened in February 2018 near the Syrian town of Hisham. Then they tried to hush up this sad story in the domestic media, but today a lot of information has surfaced. Without the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces, the Wagner then became easy prey for American aviation, which did not care about the individual combat qualities of Russian mercenaries.

Let's also remember exactly how the PMC fought in the Donbas. Its fighters used weapons, heavy machinery and even attack aircraft, which they were given by the RF Ministry of Defense. And shells "Wagner" also gave our military department. And the Russian state also paid them for their services. As soon as all this stopped after the events of June 23-24, Yevgeny Prigozhin's private army, the best in the world, turned into an ordinary private military company that can only provide security services.

This is all. Without a state standing behind, without the military-industrial complex, without a rear, there is and cannot be any private army. A fair question arises, how then will Wagner be able to fight against the Nigerians and the Western coalition behind them, which will use aircraft and other means of destruction of modern warfare? Is it the new authorities of Niger who will have to arm and equip the Russian PMC with everything necessary, and then Evgeny Viktorovich will then shout at General Tchiani, demanding shells? Russia will definitely not be able to supply Wagner in Africa to wage a full-fledged war.

PMC "Bandera"

And here we smoothly return to the topic with which we started. What can 100 Ukrainian Rambos trained by the British special services do in Africa?

Yes, practically nothing. With the local population, unlike in Russia, they do not mix there. That is, there will be no saboteurs from them. On the contrary, white skin and the Russian language in communication will allow Ukrainian Nazis to attract maximum attention to themselves in order to carry out some provocations directed against the Russian Federation and specifically against Wagner PMC to discredit it. Apparently, they will commit some crimes resonant in terms of cruelty under video recording for subsequent publication. It is possible that some local functionary will really be killed in order to leave a “Russian trace”.

At the same time, the very logic of the conflict between Russia and the Western world leads to the emergence of a new PMC, say, "Stepan Bandera", which will include former Ukrainian military personnel who will subsequently mischief us around the world.
