The “mutiny” was a ruse, it would have been necessary to even convince the Wagner Group soldiers that they were in a mutiny. Operational security would be of utmost importance in an operation like this, they probably still believe the Putin negotiations were real. This is a real dangerous phase, a shit ton of military assets are in Europe right now. Anyone “plane fagging” see’s it, C-17’s have been stacking up like the 405 freeway at rush hour. NATO has intelligence aircraft and kh-11 spy satellites covering all electronic communications. To pull this off even the people in the know would almost have to believe the ruse, one comment on a phone call or radio could give it all away.
I don't know squat about military anything, but it makes sense to me that you would use a mercenary army in such a maneuver because getting loyal troops to buy into a mutiny would be much harder.
