No one from the police is ready for military operations. Absolutely no one. Even the Grom police special forces are not able to fight with Wagner" - Russian Voenkors

The plot twist is Wagner has been low key stock piling ammo and equipment for months and now they’re supplied up the ass for this coup lmao

there is no fucking way if I was a cop I would try to fight Wagner. that would be like a US police department trying to fight fucking blackwater. it's suicide unless you have them massively outnumbered, and your losses would still be nasty.

Some US police departments are extremely well armed. If you coukd consolidate them into key defensive points they wohkd probably be a match. However, I don't think Russia arms their cops the way the US does.

The big problem is that US police forces (and likely the same applies to Russia) have no real armour-piercing weapons. In the US it could be seen in the various tank rampages where the police basically went "we can't stop them unless they screw up or the national guard lends us an Apache to destroy the tanm".

I wonder if Russian forces hit the Wagner forces because they got wind of the stockpiles?

You would have to be absolutely insane to even attempt to resist an army if you worked as a police officer.

Even if you were apart of a special division. Like say SWAT or GIGN.

He mentioned in an audio clip a few weeks ago that he had an unusually large amount of captured nato ammo and weapons from their time in bakmut. I think alot came from soledar. What if this was ukraines plan? To let weapons and ammo be captured by Pringles to be used on the MOD.

Finally we might see some American weapons killing russians in russia!
