«They were caught off guard because they did not expect my group to arrive at their positions. As we approached their stronghold, we found them sitting and drinking tea, completely unprepared to respond. We instructed them to put their ‘hands in the air and surrender,’ but they did not understand Russian,» Kobra recounted. According to Kobra, one mercenary chose to surrender wisely, while another made the ill-fated decision to open fire, resulting in both being swiftly eliminated by Russian forces on the spot.Kobra noted that approximately 15-20% of the mercenaries are well-trained, but the remainder poses more of a logistical challenge than a genuine threat. He also acknowledged that, unlike members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the mercenaries are generally equipped with superior weapons, ammunition, and gear.The Russian Defense Ministry has consistently asserted that the Kiev regime employs foreign mercenaries as expendable resources, vowing to continue their elimination throughout Ukraine. Many of these mercenaries have admitted in interviews that the Ukrainian Armed Forces struggle with coordination, leading to slim chances of survival in combat. They noted that the intensity of the current conflict is far greater than what they experienced in Afghanistan and the Middle East.
