The Pentagon distributed a video of the destruction of a T-72 tank near the Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor, filmed on February 7. Then the details of the death of a large group of militants from the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC) started appearing in the media. The volunteers of<\/strong> InformNapalm<\/strong><\/a> international community in cooperation with the<\/strong> Ihtamnet_m0209<\/strong><\/a> project team and the hacktivists of the<\/strong> Ukrainian Cyber \u200b\u200bAlliance<\/strong><\/a> carried out a comprehensive open-source intelligence (OSINT) operation on the collection and identification of the PMC’s tank crews. Some information from our insider sources was supplemented by and checked against the open-source data, as well as scanning of email dumps. To protect the sources of the leak, we do not disclose the entire range of data yet. However, even now we are ready to present personal data of 26 mercenaries (25 tankmen + 1 chief of the fuel service). We have not yet been able to establish who of them took part in the battle near Deir ez-Zor, however some have departmental awards for participation in Donbas hostilities, including for tank battles at the Luhansk airport, signed personally by the Russian president.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
