The Russian army during the rebellion of the Wagner PMC group in Russian cities, Rostov-on-Don and Voronezh, lost much more equipment than the Wagnerites. This is evidenced by the calculations of the Dutch project for the study of military operations Oryx.
According to analysts, the Russian army lost less than a day an Il-22 aircraft, two Mi-8 electronic warfare helicopters, a Mi-35 helicopter, a Tiger combat vehicle and a military KamAZ.
At the same time, Wagner PMC lost only its UAZ, the report says.
The head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, together with fighters from his detachments, captured part of the military facilities in the Russian cities of Rostov-on-Don and Voronezh. There are tanks and armored personnel carriers on the streets, residents post videos in which explosions and shooting are heard. A shell flew into a residential yard in Voronezh , several cars were smashed, no casualties were reported. Servicemen of the Ministry of Defense bombed a road bridge over the M-4 Don highway, two kilometers from the city of Boguchar, Voronezh region.
There are also reports of military equipment of the army on the highways in Moscow, there is no evidence of the presence of "Wagnerites" in the capital yet. It all started on the evening of June 23 with Prigozhin's statement that the Russian Ministry of Defense launched missile strikes on the rear camps of Wagner PMCs, and Shoigu personally arrived in Rostov-on-Don to carry out an operation to destroy PMCs. Prigozhin promised to respond to the blow and "deal with those who destroy Russian soldiers." A case was initiated against Prigozhin for inciting an armed rebellion, but he said that he was not going to “come to confession at the request of the president, the FSB or anyone else.”
