Russia is fascinated with Private Military Contractors, ever since the US used BlackWater in Iraq. During the Russian invasion of Crimean, the Russian media repeatedly had reports of Blackwater troops in Crimea, even though they had changed names, twice.
In the past few years Russia has onhinted at the use of PMCs, and when PMCs were used in Syria, their use was minimized.
Excellent report, excellent source – SecDev, and excellent work!

Today we are proud to announce the launch of a new intelligence product from SecDev! Our analysts spend a lot of time on the areas they cover. Sometimes we discover little gems of information that deserve some extra coverage. That’s why we launched SPECTRA Field Notes. Designed as an ad hoc publication, they are a free supplement to regular subscriptions to our weekly Conflict Area Watch reports covering Syria, Iraq, and Libya.
Need to see for yourself? Download our inaugural SPECTRA Field Notes covering Russian military contractors in Syria.
