About this title
Storyline
A recovered Samsung tablet belonging to Russian mercenaries in Libya offers an unprecedented look at how Vladimir Putin's Foreign Legion operates. From September 2019, photographs and reports had begun to emerge of Russian mercenaries in Tripoli. They were identified as units from the so-called Wagner Group, a secretive and highly controversial organization of mercenaries that fought first in Ukraine, then in Syria, and later in Sudan, Mozambique, the Central African Republic and Libya. Wagner forces appear to be divided into seven so-called Storm Units, within which personnel and commanders are subject to change. All soldiers act under their code names and choose one when they join, though these can change.
