As part of the Chechen special forces “Akhmat”, a unit “Kamerton” has been created from former fighters of the private military company “Wagner”, said the deputy commander of the detachment with the call sign “011”. It is alleged that the unit includes PMC commanders, an armored group, artillerymen and assault groups.
“The crews of the armored groups consist 100% of former employees of the Wagner PMC. Artillery, including barrel artillery, is the same. The assault units consist of approximately 60 to 40, that is, 60% are former employees, including commanders. And the rest are reinforcements,” said the deputy detachment commander “RIA News”.
Kamerton fighters are undergoing combat coordination at training grounds in the zone of Russian military operations. It is planned to involve cannon artillery, tanks and BMP-3 in this work. “We are slowly starting to get involved,” added “011.”
A fighter with the call sign “Barnaul” noted to the Russian state agency that there are no problems with ammunition in the unit, therefore “the soldiers train as much as the commander says.”
Head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov at the end of October reported about the transfer of 170 Wagner fighters to Akhmat, as well as groups former PMC medical workers.
The founder of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, in June led a “march of justice” from the military operation zone towards Moscow, which the Russian authorities regarded as an armed rebellion. PMC mercenaries established control over military facilities in Rostov-on-Don and entered several regions with weapons. The situation was resolved through the mediation of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. A month later, Yevgeny Prigozhin’s business jet crashed in the Tver region, which also carried the commander of the Wagner PMC, Dmitry Utkin, and eight other people. All of them died. President Vladimir Putin stated that there were grenade fragments in the bodies of the victims.
