🇲🇱🇷🇺| A second, smaller Wagner base can be seen at the Bamako airport. This base was not built but simply invested.
It is within the airport compound and serves as a logistical point, a few meters from the previous base.

🇲🇱🚨| Another Wagner base is present at Sevare airport, with an extension of the airport to the north.
This base is located a few meters from the new Turkish tb-2 drones acquired by Mali, and very close to various Russian helicopters, including at least a Mi-8 and a Mi-24.

My pun. You know who Dirlewanger was, ja? I simply switched the position of the n and g. The so called Wagner group is not a usual run of the mill PMC; they're like the notorious unit(s) under the command of him. Therefore, #Dirlewagner twitter.com/OberstWKlink/s
