Wagner Boss Claims Russia’s Mission Accomplished in Ukraine

Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin says Russia has already accomplished its goals in Ukraine—but must keep fighting even if it means humiliating defeat so that the country can ultimately rise again as a “war monster” that the international community will bow down to.


After recruiting thousands of prison inmates to help fight the war for Vladimir Putin and using his shadow army to emerge as a rival to Russia’s top military brass, the mercenary boss and Kremlin-linked businessman offered his thoughts on the state of the war in a lengthy article published Friday. In addition to predicting that Russia would ultimately come back stronger than ever, Prigozhin appeared to admit that Ukraine may win its territories back, acknowledged that the Kremlin’s plan had failed, and predicted a full-blown revolution in Russia.

For the authorities and for society as a whole, it is necessary today to put a decisive end to the [special military operation.] The ideal scenario is to announce the end of the [special military operation], to inform everyone that Russia has achieved the results that it planned, and in a sense we have actually achieved them. We have ground down a huge number of fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and we can report that the tasks of the [special military operation] have been completed,” he wrote.


He claimed that “in theory,” Russia had already put a decisive end to the war by wiping out a huge chunk of Ukraine’s male population, sending refugees fleeing, and seizing territory. Omitted, of course, was that the same could be said about Russia on the first two points.


And bizarrely, amidst all of his pontificating, Prigozhin appeared to admit that Ukrainian territories seized by Russia aren’t actually with Moscow “forever,” as the Kremlin has so often claimed.


Ukraine stands to lose if the war comes to a standstill, he said, because “those territories, that are today under the control of the Russian Federation, can stay at the disposal of the Russian Federation for years.”

Lest anyone think he’s suggesting Russia should call it quits, however, Prigozhin went on to cheer on a planned counteroffensive by Ukraine—saying “the sooner it starts, the better.”


But he admitted the result could prove catastrophic to Russia, saying it’s “not very likely” Moscow could launch a “colossal counteroffensive” of its own and take territory deeper into Ukraine.


He also acknowledged that “many of those who initially supported [the war], are now doubtful, or categorically opposed to what’s happening,” and confessed that Russia “could not achieve the results that society expected.”


If Ukraine’s counteroffensive manages to break through Russian defenses, he said, “an army that for years considered itself one of the best in the world” would be thoroughly demoralized.


In that case, he said, “global changes in Russian society” could lead to an all-out revolution as pro-war patriots seek revenge against bureaucrats and figures who were either critical of the war or reluctant to use harsher battlefield methods.


His solution, strangely, is for Russia to let itself sink to rock bottom by doubling down even further despite its myriad losses over the past year. According to him, that’s America’s worst nightmare, because “if Russia gets to the bottom, then it will push off from there… and float back up like a huge sea monster, demolishing everything in its path, including the plans of the United States.”


He appeared to shrug off further losses and even a “battering” of the Russian military, saying Russia would simply “lick its wounds” if defeated in a Ukrainian counteroffensive.


“Russia cannot accept any agreement, only a fair fight. And if we come out of this battle battered, there is nothing to worry about.”


His comments came the same day classified U.S. documents said Russian special forces had been decimated fighting the war against Ukraine. Separately, a joint investigation by the independent media outlet MediaZona and the BBC’s Russian service counted 20,451 Russian troops killed so far in the war. The true number is thought to be significantly higher, as that tally includes only those confirmed through open source data.

Russian Aerospace Forces pilot: "Now the Ukrainian pilot is a suicide bomber"
April 15, 2023, 11: 55


"Ukrainian troops have nothing to shoot down such a bomb with, and its effectiveness is the highest." The pilot of the Russian Aerospace Forces told the newspaper VZGLYAD about new types of ammunition used by Russian combat aircraft, about awarding flight personnel for defeating enemy targets and how they managed to knock out the best Ukrainian pilots.
One of the pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces, currently participating in the Ukrainian special operation, agreed to answer the questions of the newspaper VZGLYAD. For obvious reasons, the editorial board does not specify the name.

The officer is the commander of the Su-34 fighter-bomber crew, in other words, provides direct cover for the advancing Russian units on the contact line. Now it is one of the most dangerous military professions.

view: SVO has been going on for more than a year. To what extent can this operation compare with other conflicts in which you were involved – for example, the Syrian one?

Pilot: SVO in Ukraine is heaven and earth compared to the Syrian conflict. There we were confronted by Bedouins in flip-flops, who had only MANPADS. If they had anything more serious, we quickly suppressed and destroyed it. The Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria had complete air superiority, we flew as we wanted and did what we wanted. They could only pick up when flying at an altitude below 6000 meters.

In the course of the SVO in Ukraine, the situation is radically different. We are confronted by a deep-layered medium-and long-range air defense system, which still gives us problems.

The Ukrainian army is a strong opponent. We are confronted by professionals of the Soviet school, who studied in the same academies as us. At first, we also met highly motivated fighters. And in war, the main thing is morale. The most dangerous ones were those with crosses and swastikas on their chests and brainwashed heads. These butted heads very hard. But now the staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is gradually being ground up. The initiative is on our side, and it is important not to lose it.

VZGLYAD: What is your assessment of the APU pilots in terms of individual flight skills?

Pilot: We treat the enemy with respect. At first, the APU had strong pilots. But even if you are a super-pilot, a lot depends on the car you fly and the missiles you use. You can still try to dodge one of the missiles, but what if two of them hit you?

On modern Russian fighters, for example, the Su-35, an excellent sighting system that allows you to monitor not only the air, but also the ground. As well as good long-range missiles, which give our pilots a significant advantage. The enemy sometimes does not even realize that our fighter sees and irradiates him – because his technique requires going to a different, shorter firing range. And as soon as the enemy reaches the launch line, he immediately gets a couple of our missiles in the forehead.

Therefore, already in the first months of the most powerful enemy pilots, the Russian Aerospace Forces were beaten up. As far as I know, last year there was a third-year graduate from the only Ukrainian military aviation school in Kharkiv. And you're supposed to study for five years. What is the third year? This is when they taught takeoff and landing in an abbreviated course – and that's all. Until you work for 10-15 years as a real military pilot and learn how to perform combat tasks automatically, you are just a flying target.

Therefore, the period of flight activity of Ukrainian pilots has been greatly reduced. Now we see that in fact the Ukrainian pilot is a suicide bomber.

view: Recently, there have been many reports that pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces have begun to use new types of ammunition. What kind of ammunition is this?

Pilot: Yes, recently, for example, new long – range air-to-air missiles have entered service with fighters. As a result, now the tactics of fighters ' work look like this. Our fighters are in the air near the border, on duty, waiting for enemy planes. As soon as the enemy plane takes off and rises above 50-100 meters, it immediately becomes visible in the scope. To complete his combat mission (to work on our positions), he needs to make a jump, that is, rise higher. As soon as he makes a jump, a rocket is immediately launched at him.

Therefore, now the Ukrainian Air Force can only work sporadically, surreptitiously. They fire HARM missiles. This is an anti-radar missile, but the APU reprogrammed them to work on the ground, according to the coordinates laid down in the program. The tactics of the AFU pilots are as follows: go to a certain point, launch a rocket, go back to an extremely low altitude and dump.

But our fighters are doing a great job. I used to joke that our fighters only know how to twist figures during demonstration performances, but now I'm ready to take it back. SVO put everything in its place. Our guys are really great. Fighters have rescued, rescued and protected us bombers many times. If you are accompanied by fighters, then work much more calmly.

Russian air defense will gain a new advantage
Ukrainian major complained about the superiority of Russian aviation


VZGLYAD: Among the new ammunition mentioned are not only air–to , but also guided aerial bombs.

What is it about?

Pilot: I won't tell you much, but in general – yes, it's true, we started using them. We have guided and 500-kilogram bombs planning, and 1500-kilogram, and many other controlled long-range means. The opposing side also rates them highly.

In particular, there is such an UPAB-1500B (controlled gliding aerial bomb), one and a half tons in weight, its range is up to 50 km, it hits quite accurately. It is designed to hit specially protected objects, and it also does not shun the infantry sourly.

view: Are these all new products?

Pilot: Yes and no. Thank God that a significant amount of aviation ammunition has remained in warehouses since Soviet times, and now they are very helpful. Thank you for not stealing them in Yeltsin's time. We call the usual aerial bombs at the air depot "cast iron". These are free-falling aerial bombs that need to be dropped directly over the target – and therefore in the area of enemy air defense.

But recently, a new tool has appeared in the army, called UMPC (universal planning and correction module). It is attached to a regular 500-kilogram aerial bomb. With its help, the Soviet aerial bomb turns into a modern, long-range and planning one in a short time, and is guided to the target by satellite navigation. And you can launch it at the target in complete safety, beyond the range of enemy air defense systems.

UMPK is very simple and cheap to produce, but with its help, the accuracy of old ammunition increases to the accuracy of an expensive high-precision rocket. Ukrainian troops have nothing to shoot down such a bomb, it is almost invisible on radars. And the effectiveness of its application is the highest.

I would like to mention our industry separately. Any technical shortcomings that we mention are corrected very quickly. With the difficult task of increasing the scale of production and not losing quality, they coped-and coped with dignity. Not only has the quality not deteriorated, it has improved.

view: How does aviation interact with other branches of the armed forces?

Pilot: Aviation works not only and not so much by itself, but in the interests of other branches and types of troops. For example, motorized infantry units or paratroopers to destroy a fortified area or strike at manpower. There is also an inverse relationship – the infantry helps aviation: it detects and destroys enemy air defense systems.

For example, infantry drones detect a target, such as an air defense system, and both infantry, artillery, and rocket launchers immediately start working on it. And thus, everyone helps each other to break through a gap in the enemy's defense. And in the breached gap, when all the enemy's equipment is destroyed, you can move on in this sector of the front. In the resulting breakthrough, infantry passes again, and aviation actively helps it – the enemy's ground is burning under their feet, literally and figuratively.

From the point of view of coordination, the fact that the aviation leadership was returned from the districts to the VKS command helped a lot. Already, the VKS command, together with the commanders of other branches and types of forces, coordinates joint work.

VZGLYAD: Are living conditions acceptable during combat operations? How do you live in terms of everyday life, emotional discharge? Can I see my family members, friends, and wives?

Pilot: The conditions in the combat zone are different. Where we just did not live – and in dispensaries, and in the infirmaries. But we are unpretentious people, we only need a bed, a pillow, a toilet, a shower, a kitchen. Sometimes our spouses and friends visit us, for two or three days. To do this, we look for time, change, and insure each other in terms of flight shifts.

And in order not to become callous, we take care of our smaller brothers and take care of them. In one place, we had as many as six lured dogs. They were taken care of. They, by the way, thanked you for this – when they saw a stranger on the territory, they raised a bark, and you already knew for sure that something was wrong.

VZGLYAD: Is there a sense of danger from work? Not unnerved by the presence of daily life risks?

Pilot: There is always danger in our work. The plane itself is a complex mechanism. When some systems fail, you sit down calmly, and when others fail, such as the landing gear, you begin to decide whether to go to the ejection area or try to land the plane on its belly. And here the outcome is already unpredictable.

There were cases when pilots put the plane on its belly, released parachutes – and it did not even roll out of the runway. But it can also happen in another way: the plane turns 90 degrees, there is a cowling, a kerosene spill – and the crew can burn alive if they do not manage to get out of the cabin.

So even in peacetime, the profession can also be dangerous. As for wartime, we are preparing and studying for it.

VZGLYAD: Is there something that pilots must take with them to the cockpit during a flight on a combat mission?

Pilot: We always take the following items with us on a flight: unloading, weapons, an individual first-aid kit (each person selects it for himself), a flashlight, a sling knife, a radio station, a couple of chocolates or sucking sweets. In the desert version (in Syria), they always took a flask of clean water with them. I also always took my stomach pills with me, in case I got sick, which I did.

VZGLYAD: There are bonus tables on the Internet — how much pilots are paid for defeating enemy equipment. Do they correspond to reality?

Pilot: Yes, they pay for goals. Payment is made on the basis of the corresponding table-it shows the types of equipment that are awarded for destroying: planes, helicopters, armored vehicles, etc. On average, one goal costs 50 thousand rubles. And the money allowance of the pilots is good, we do not complain.

But of course, we don't serve for money. In my understanding, there is nothing higher and more worthy than to be a military man, to defend your homeland. And this is our main task. If necessary, we will also give our lives for this."

Ukraine’s American-Made Avenger Air-Defense Vehicles Are Too Vulnerable For The Front Line

David Axe

Forbes Staff


I write about ships, planes, tanks, drones, missiles and satellites.


Apr 14, 2023,02:41am EDT

"The first of a dozen American-made Avenger air-defense vehicles have arrived in Ukraine. A video that circulated online last week depicts one of the lightweight, eight-round launchers in the mud that’s typical of Ukraine’s spring melt.

“Avengers are now in the capable hands of the [Ukrainian army],” the Ukrainian defense ministry stated. The first Avengers have equipped Ukraine’s northern command, which maintains defenses in and around Kyiv, Chernihiv and other major cities.

It’s also possible the general staff in Kyiv eventually will assign Avengers to accompany front-line brigades. It’s what the U.S. Army designed the four-ton, two-person Avenger to do, after all.

But as a front-line air-defense system, the Avenger has some major drawbacks. If the Ukrainian army does push its Avengers toward the fighting, it should do so carefully.

The Avenger is an unarmored Humvee truck with a swiveling, open-top turret bolted onto its cargo bed. The turret packs twin four-round launchers for Stinger infrared-guided surface-to-air missiles as well as a .50-caliber machine gun.

The 22-pound Stinger is a short-range weapon. It can strike targets three miles away with a seven-pound warhead. “Avenger forces protect maneuver elements during lodgment, early-entry operations, shaping activities against fixed and rotary-wing aircraft attacks, cruise-missile attacks and observation by surveillance platforms,” the U.S. Army explained in a 2016 field manual.

It’s a last-ditch weapon, basically. The kind you’d use against a helicopter, attack jet, drone or subsonic missile that’s already shooting at you or about to blow up in your face.

But it’s mobile—and that’s its best attribute. As brigades advance, Avengers can advance with them. If a brigade advances far enough, it might even leave the protective umbrella of fixed, long-range SAMs such as Ukraine S-300s.

At that point, an Avenger or another short-range air-defense vehicle such as a Strela-10 or Gepard might be the brigade’s only effective defense against air attack.

There’s a catch. “Avenger systems should not be integrated into the maneuver force when contact is expected because it is a lightweight vehicle and is extremely vulnerable to direct fire, small arms and indirect fire,” the U.S. Army warned in its field manual. Even a determined rifleman could knock out an Avenger if he got close enough.

It didn’t have to be this way. The U.S. Army decades ago grew overly comfortable with the U.S. Air Force’s assurance that it would control the sky over any conceivable battlefield. The Army ceased developing new armored air-defense vehicles and consigned most of its hundreds of unarmored Avengers to National Guard units.

But Russia’s wider war on Ukraine has underscored how tenuous air-superiority can be, even for the bigger air force in a lopsided fight.

“The current air-defense organization is a relic of the past two decades of static, theater-level, defensive deployments and needs to be seriously reevaluated in the face of new threats,” U.S. Army captain Peter Mitchell wrote for West Point’s Modern War Institute.

The U.S. Army has rushed development of a new armored air-defense vehicle based on the hull of a 20-ton Stryker fighting vehicle.

Ukraine isn’t getting air-defense Strykers, however. Ukrainian brigades that plan to fight on the move during an offensive deep behind Russian lines and don’t have Strela-10s or Gepards might have to make do with Avengers.

That means deploying the unprotected vehicles where they can contribute to a brigade’s defense, but without placing them directly in harm’s way. The U.S. Army advised commanders to assign their Avengers to escort supply convoys, command vehicles and howitzers instead of mixing them in with the tanks and fighting vehicles.

That should keep them a short distance from the heaviest fighting. But, in an emergency, Avenger crews might have to move forward—and accept the risk. “Avenger units must retain flexibility to shift and redirect fires to provide the best coverage,” the U.S. Army advised.

If this all seems like a giant headache—well, that might explain why the Ukrainians so far have consigned their Avengers to a sector of the country where there’s no major ground combat.

They might never deploy the Avengers to do what they were designed to do: escort front-line brigades."

What’s Perfectly Round, Made Of Metal, And Keeping Russia From Replacing the 2,000 Tanks It’s Lost In Ukraine?


A shortage of modern optics is throttling Russia’s ability to manufacture new T-72BM3 and T-90M tanks, and restore older T-72s, T-80s and T-90s, to make good the thousands of tanks it’s lost its wider war on Ukraine.

But optics aren’t the only thing in short supply in the Russian armored vehicle industry. The Russians also are desperately short of ball-bearings, which they used to get from the United States and Europe before the United States and Europe tightened their sanctions on Russian industry.

A new study from the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. confirmed what independent analysts have been saying for months. Tanks and other modern armored vehicles need a lot of ball-bearings. And Russia doesn’t have enough bearings to maintain steady production of new vehicles.

Especially considering that the Russian war effort—indeed, the whole Russian economy—utterly depends on trains for transportation. And trains also need a lot of ball-bearings. The Russians have a choice. Build more tanks and let the rail system fall apart. Or keep the trains moving, and slow tank-production.

“Historically, Russia has imported most of its high-quality bearings from Western manufacturers,” CSIS analysts Max Bergmann, Maria Snegovaya, Tina Dolbaia, Nick Fenton and Samuel Bendett noted. “In 2020, for instance, Russia imported over $419 million worth of ball bearings, around 55 percent of which originated in Europe and North America; Germany was Russia’s largest trading partner, taking up 17 percent of its total imports that year.”

That changed after Russian forces rolled into northern, eastern and southern Ukraine in February 2022, triggering a wider war that has killed tens of thousands of people on both sides. Kyiv’s foreign allies escalated their sanctions on Moscow’s strategic industries.

Ball-bearing imports were a top target. “Following the start of the invasion, major Western producers of bearings exited Russia and ended their sales there,” the CSIS analysts wrote.
The implications quickly were apparent. After just a few weeks, Russia’s main factories for building new tanks and restoring old tanks—respectively, Uralvagonzavod in Sverdlovsk Oblast and Omsktransmash in Siberia—temporarily froze production.

While work soon resumed, the tank industry’s longer-term prospects were dire. A new T-72BM3 or T-90M tank requires modern optics, and those optics normally come from France. When Paris tightened its sanctions, it deprived Russian industry of the components it needs for the new tanks’ Sosna-U digital sights.

The Kremlin has compensated for a shortage of Sosna-Us by swapping in locally-made analog 1PN96MT-02 sights that, while not as precise as Sosna-Us, at least give a Russian tank crew a fighting chance in a direct fight with Ukrainian crews.

The ball-bearing problem might be even harder for Moscow to solve. Even after trading Sosna-Us for 1PN96MT-02s, Uralvagonzavod and Omsktransmash still were at an impasse. Workers were building or restoring most of a tank, then running out of parts.

It’s for that reason that Russia has struggled to make good the 2,000 or more tanks it has lost in 14 months of hard fighting in Ukraine. Russian forces need at least 150 new or restored tanks a month just to maintain their front-line strength.

Yes, there were small stockpiles of ball-bearings in Russia when the wider war kicked off. But Russian rail-operators needed those bearings, too. If anything, the railways’ hunger for bearings grew as their 13,000 locomotives moved more and more replacement men and equipment to the Ukraine front.

Given a choice between building fewer tanks or freezing transport across Russia, Moscow did the smart thing—and chose the former.

Careful analysis of activity at Uralvagonzavod and Omsktransmash strongly hints the factories every month are shipping out just a few dozen modern-ish tanks: either new-build T-72BM3s or T-90Ms or reconditioned T-72s, T-80s and T-90s that technicians have pulled out of long-term storage.

Which is why the Russians are traveling back in time, technologically speaking, and reactivating 1960s-vintage T-62s and 1950s-vintage T-55s that have been moldering in storage since the 1980s.

The older tanks require fewer modern components and fewer ball-bearings. They’re hopelessly outmatched in a stand-up fight with better-equipped Ukrainian forces, but they at least slow down the Ukrainians. “The T-55 in this sense is a resource-saver and an opportunity to buy time,” a Kremlin source told Volya Media.

With hundreds of T-62s and T-55s temporarily plugging the hole in the Russian army’s force-structure, Russian industry has scrambled to find alternative sources of ball-bearings—and resume building modern tanks.

The obvious alternatives are China and Malaysia. But Chinese and Malaysian bearings generally are inferior to American or European bearings. And that lower quality comes at a cost, the CSIS team explained.

“While Moscow might be able to substitute the import of Western bearings and thus maintain the level of defense-sector production needed to continue its war effort, these bearings will most likely be of a lower quality, which could impact reliability.”

So maybe Russia eventually ramps up tank-production by swapping good bearings for bad bearings. Having also traded modern digital optics for inferior analog optics, these tanks no longer are state-of-the-art.

Sure, they might look like T-72BM3s or T-90Ms. But on the inside, where it really counts, they’re less capable and less durable.
