Would be even funnier if it said second best in Russia, no need to complicate it.

    Well,there's Wagner, who are probably loitering on a street corner, kicking dogs and watching Seagal clips on their phones.

    Wagner was moved under the Russian regular military after the failed coop. So they're technically one entity now. (Not that there was ever much of a difference, it's just less now. )

    Are the Chechen counted as part of the Russian Military or separate?

    The command structure is what determines separate forces, do the Chechen forces answer to the same command structures? I know from US coalition operations that the foreign forces answer to their own NCO/Officer Corp. Typically, through to the region level and have their own rules and regulations separate from the other nation forces, often operating from their own bases and really only coordinating at the colonel level or above.

    To my understanding, the Chechen forces are barely allowed their own officers at the unit level, much less anything higher. I'm far from an expert on that, though, and may be wrong. If true, I wouldn't separate them, if false, maybe, as much as the separation of NATO forces in Afghanistan.
