Wagner PMC mercenaries in Belarus are training drone operators for the Russian army. Although they do it reluctantly because they are paid little for it.

This was reported by the monitoring group Belaruski Hajun and Sprotyv (National Resistance Centre).

For two weeks, Wagner PMC instructors have been teaching mobilized military personnel topography, artillery, medical training, organization of management, and communication.

"The main focus of the two-week courses is mastering the operator skills of controlling UAVs, including FPV drones. After such crash courses - off to war in Ukraine," said the statement from Sprotyv.

However, as the partisans note, the instructor work and salary do not satisfy the Wagnerites, and there is an outflow of instructors in Belarus who choose to participate in the war in Africa, where they are paid more.

According to information from the National Resistance Center, the number of Wagnerites in Belarus has decreased from 500 to 400 in the recent period.
