The head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that the attack aircraft managed to buy American equipment from units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Howitzers Javelins and M-777 enter service with Wagner, reports the press service of the businessman.

In addition, Afghan soldiers serve in PMC units. Previously, fighters worked with Western equipment and had the skills to use and maintain it. Prigozhin pointed out that they get combat complexes not only through monetary persuasion, but also as trophies in battles.

Earlier, Prigozhin denied the information that a detained Russian with two machine guns was in the ranks of the Wagner attack aircraft. The businessman pointed out that such a person had never been in their band, and also explained how to recognize “musicians”.
