The war in Ukraine and its consequences offer us surprising sights. One of those sights is the failed rebellion undertaken by the Wagner group led by its unpredictable leader Yevgeny Prigozhin which took place from June 23 to June 24 2023 which ended in a negotiation led by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, with Yevgeny himself dying in a suspected sabotage incident involving a airplane crash on 23rd August.
During this suspected rebellion, which began with the capture of the Russian army headquarters in Rostov and ended less than 300 kilometers from Moscow, multiple types of various vehicles could be seen in Wagner's columns.
While the majority of Wagner's assets appeared to be civilian vehicles, which were mostly unarmed or DIY fitted with old soviet era weaponry, however Wagner still possessed significant amount of modern Russian Military hardware that it had obtained both before and during the war with Ukraine.
After reviewing videos and photos from different angles, we present to you the list (probably not exhaustive) of all the military vehicles used by Wagner.
