Silent for a long time, Russia has suddenly started to make efforts. Russia plans to establish another private military company, which will be dedicated to carrying out sensitive military tasks in the Middle East and African continent.
The wealthy Tkachenko brothers will be responsible for investing in a large private military company PMC, a military force similar to the Wagner Group. However, it will be smaller in scale and will not have brigade-level forces. It will mainly complete tasks independently at battalion and company levels.
Russian media reported that many leaders of the Middle East and Africa expressed that they would like to establish direct contact with the Russian army. However, due to some reasons, they cannot directly contact the Russian army. Therefore, Russia should best establish a military company and adopt an agent system.
The Russian private military company will provide services such as leader security protection, military training, weapon maintenance, combating terrorists, guarding mineral resources, border patrol, etc., for clients in the Middle East and African continent.
In fact, for many African leaders and Middle Eastern sheikhs, the local guard forces, whether commanders or soldiers, are closely connected with local forces in their own countries. In critical moments, foreign Russian mercenaries are more loyal and reliable than local forces. Especially for wealthy sheikhs, having one company of Wagner near their mansions feels safer.
