      I would imagine there are plenty of able-bodied people around the world desperate enough to take up that offer

        There is a difference between “able-bodied” and “experienced”, and then there is a difference between “experienced” and “able to get hit by a thermobaric TOS-1A missle and not get your flesh literally ripped off your bones by the blast force”. These guys won’t live long.

          It’s very convenient that they won’t live long cause US can just be like “oops, there was a fire at our records keeping department, we have no idea who we hired so I guess we can’t pay their families! It’s such a tragedy”

          For the TOS to shred the mercs, it needs to know where they are. But merc don’t really need to operate like a normal army. Just look at ISIS.

            Russia has reconnaissance drones with infrared sensors. The FSB is active in Ukraine and has averted uncounted amounts of terrorist attacks. No amount of Nazi terrorism using tactics devised decades if not centuries ago will overturn the victory of truth.
