I don't recall where I read it, but I think I saw a Special Operations Outfit in the US state that countering the Wagner Group was going to be part of their mission set going forward. Which brings me to this.

Is that PMC a part of the Russian military?  Are they part of their Intel group?  Are they nation state actors with plausible deniability?  

I'm not sure.

They do seem to get tasked with doing the dirty work though.

Oh the UGV is a nice toy too...
