Whatever is left of the "Realists" is currently backpedaling from their assumption Russia was a great power worthy of a sphere if influence or whatever stupid poo poo they were on.

We can't really be sure what Wagner has or doesn't have. There's no way this was a spur of a moment thing in response to being bombed last night, this poo poo must of been planned for months.

They have a surprising amount of kit, for all that. Supposedly they had 1,700 pieces of various equipment when they marched on their homeland and also appropriated the best of the equipment and supplies to be found in Rostov and Voronezh.

Wagner do not have an air force. Russia does and before today it was the second most powerful air force in history. It might still be but it's not yet involved in fighting troops inside the nation

Wagner isn't like Blackwater (which for all the poo poo they got up to, basically just escorted VIPs and supplied and what not). They've been assaulting Bakhmut for months with tons of heavy weapons and at least at some point had their own planes.

Plus like step 1 of couping is to get as much of the military officers on your side (or out of the picture, like by having them bogged down in a war abroad) so if they have any defectors from the MoD, they could have all the toys they might want. Really recommend this fun and relevant book:

The US alone has two airforces more capable than the Russian Air Force even if it was as good as Russia claimed. From what we've actually seen, the US Navy's Army's Airforce could probably handle them.

Isn't Wagner's whole stance in this "we should have murdered the Ukrainians more"?

Goddamn, Wagner not encountering opposition from Rosgvardia or anyone when entering huge western Russian cities makes me think he might have made a deal with some folks in Moscow who have a Putin successor and are willing to let Pregozhin be a ~Shogun Lite~.

Well apparently they now have an air force of sorts because they took over the Millerovo airbase and all the planes that were available there. It's like the bit from Die Hard all over again; "Now I have an air force, HO HO HO"

Nah, when they first invaded Ukraine and we saw how corruption had ruined their armies from within, they were no longer 2nd in the world back then.
What was it, 1 in 10 tanks were operable due to the soldiers selling off parts as they weren't getting paid?
