#3  I have wondered if Russian pseudo Private MC's/SC's have drained the pool of trained career infantry in their army. That and Russia going "Transformational" by concentrating on armor/artillery/drones instead of classic Combined Arms structures -- you don't have what you don't support.

#1  "Operation Barkhane is an ongoing anti-insurgent operation that started on 1 August 2014, and is led by the French military against Islamist groups in Africa's Sahel region. It consists of a roughly 5,000-strong French force, which is permanently headquartered in N’Djamena, the capital of Chad.' Then 'In late 2019, a so-called Wagner code of honor was revealed that lists ten commandments for Wagner's PMCs to follow. These include, among others, to protect the interests of Russia always and everywhere, to value the honor of a Russian soldier, to fight not for money, but from the principle of winning always and everywhere.'
