Wagner Group / PMC Wagner - Mercenary Training Facility

The Wagner Group has variously been described as a private militia, a proxy force for the Russian Ministry of Defense, and a "pseudo-private" military company which allows Russia to exert military influence abroad while ensuring ‘plausible deniability.' Also known as PMC Wagner, ChVK Wagner or CHVK Vagner, their number is estimated to have grown to 6,000 by the end of 2017.
