Patchology

PATCHOLOGY: The patches of the musicians

06/26/2023By Redaktion

PMC WAGNER is on everyone's lips. After the "March for Justice" even more so than after the start of the war against Ukraine, where the mercenary group played a central role in Russian mobilization - at least until now. WAGNER also represents the intrusion of a Western PMC culture into Russia, which has been partially copied from the West. This also brings badges and patches. Here are the most significant WAGNER patches.

The official logo of WAGNER looks quite official. But it has only been seen like this for a short time.

This is a patch with the W for Wagner, as it was previously seen on the company headquarters in St. Petersburg.

However, the most well-known logo of WAGNER is the skull patch at the bottom right. To the left of it is a variation that was created in Syria - one of the operational areas of Russian PMCs.

WAGNER is known for its brutality, which they also celebrate. "No step back" with a hammer: In Ukraine, a video showed mercenaries executing a former comrade who had surrendered and was exchanged, with a hammer.

The group is called WAGNER because one of the founders loved the music of the German composer and used his name as a call sign. They refer to themselves as the "musicians" or the "orchestra."

REVERSE SIDE OF THE MEDAL (RSOTM) is a digital PMC platform in Russia where WAGNER personnel and other mercenaries are at home. GREY ZONE is another platform of a similar nature.

A WAGNER patch in response to the Americans of the FORWARD OBSERVATION GROUP, who also fought in Ukraine. They had a Blackbeard pirate patch with a Baphomet. WAGNER responds with the killing of Baphomet with a hammer.

Or WAGNER can also be like this: Death is our business, and business is good...

Just a small glimpse into a patch landscape in the wild east that is constantly evolving.
