It has been reported that the first foreign mercenaries have begun to flee victoriously from Ukraine. The mercenaries said they were incorporated into the 102nd Homeland Defense Brigade, with a monthly salary equivalent to just over 1,400 yuan. And that's a militia unit, and a lot of people don't have weapons. Even if there is a weapon, there are only 10 rounds of ammunition.
Then the Ukrainians sent them all to Kiev to fill the trenches. As a result, a group of American and British mercenaries did not work and fled overnight. However, wearing a military uniform does not allow you to cross the border at all, and if you find it, you will have to do it under military law. As a result, a group of British and American mercenaries took off their uniforms and threw away their backpacks.
He snatched the Red Cross costume of an ambulance team and dressed in a disguised humanitarian aid organization before barely escaping from Ukraine. An American mercenary who escaped said it was a trap, only $230 a month, or no fixed-term contract, when to finish the war, when to leave.
A veteran who has served in the British army for 6 years said that he fled to Ukraine within 9 hours and quickly escaped overnight. Because when I arrived in Ukraine, I found that each person only had 3-5 days of temporary training and grouping. It was then sent directly to the Kiev front, where Russian artillery fire continued, and Russian tanks could cut off the retreat at any time.
In Ukraine, it is not against militia militants in Syria, but against russia's Guards Panzer Army, the world's second-largest military power. It's not that you can run laps, have good marksmanship, can hit 4 punches in 1 second, and do 100 pull-ups in a row. And on the outskirts of Kiev on the front line, there is a shortage of everything, food and drinking water. Wandering around the mountains every day, mobile phones and drones lack a place to recharge. With such a small amount of money and a harsh environment, these Western mercenaries had to withdraw, because there was simply not enough to pay off the mortgage.
Some mercenaries believe that this indefinite combat contract is actually a death sentence. As a result, a number of Western mercenaries have fled Ukraine desperately. However, there are still some mercenaries who choose to stay on the battlefield, mainly mercenaries from, Eastern Europe, Azerbaijan, Chechnya, Georgia and other countries and regions.
For Ukraine, the main target of these foreign mercenaries is to fight in the streets of Kiev. Because once the Russian army launched an offensive against Kiev, it must be able to directly enter the city. Then these veterans with a lot of skills and combat experience are the most needed forces on the Ukrainian side.
These people are familiar with the weapons and equipment of Western aid, which can improve the tactical level of the Ukrainian army. Especially in the case of only 2 regular military brigades in Kiev. Once the Russian army began to attack the city, the fierce fire of the Russian army would destroy the ukrainian regular army. The Ukrainian side hopes to rely on the militia-type National Guard and foreign mercenaries to drag Russian troops in street battles.
But the mercenaries who really dare to fight to the death for Ukraine are certainly a very small minority. As a result, internet celebrities and mercenaries preparing to make a fortune are scrambling to escape.
Those who can really stay in Ukraine to fight are hard-line anti-Russians. For example, Georgian volunteers led by former Georgian Defense Minister Okrushvili. The Dudayev battalion, composed of Chechen volunteers, as well as the Belarusian battalion, the Azerbaijani battalion, and so on, are all die-hards.
The Ukrainians' tactics were also simple, that is, to hold on to 30 cities. All men aged 18-55 were turned into militias and entered emergency training to issue weapons. Led by veterans of the Donbass battlefield, they were divided into small teams to fight urban street battles.
For example, in the city of Kiev, the Ukrainian regular army has only 2 brigades, but a bunch of National Guard is an armed militia. Now Kiev has evacuated about 1 million people, and of the remaining 2 million people, there are a large number of armed militias. A small detachment, two or three Donbas veterans and a dozen militiamen. It is possible to launch attacks and ambush logistical convoys, and even have the opportunity to counter individual tank armored vehicles. But to really fight against the regular Russian army, it is only to increase casualties.
