In the wake of his aborted mutiny last month, Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner Private Military Company turned over more than 2,000 weapons and pieces of equipment more than 2,500 tons of ammunition and over 20,000 small arms, the Russian Defense Ministry (MoD) said on its Telegram channel Wednesday. A video showing turned over Wagner tanks and other armor, artillery pieces, land mines and boxes apparently full of munitions has also been distributed.
The cache of arms and ammunition displayed by the Russian MoD - if it indeed did come from Wagner - showcases Prigozhin's force of high-end weaponry.
This list of equipment provided by the Russian MoD includes "hundreds of heavy weapons like T-90, T-80, T-72B3 tanks, Grad and Uragan multiple-launch rocket systems, Pantsir surface-to-air missile systems, 2S1 Gvozdika 122 mm self-propelled artillery systems, 2S3 Akatsiya 152 mm, 2S5 Giatsint 152 mm, 2S4 Tulpan 240 mm, howitzers and anti-tank guns, mortar systems, multipurpose armored tractors, armored personnel carriers, as well as motor vehicles."

Solder of Fortune Magazine use to have advertisements for such people. I don’t know if that magazine still exists or not. If it or its equivalent does exist, it is probably a website and not in the English Language.

I believe I recall that the magazine was successfully sued by family of someone who was the target of murder for hire facilitated by a classified ad in their print magazine. They stopped carrying ads for mercenary work after that and I think stopped print publication entirely at some point later. I remember buying a few print issues and reading the stories by and about mercenaries and the very unglamorous real life experiences they described around the world. Not sure if they ever resurrected as online e-media became a thing.
