    Something of note: they might not have been working for Ukraine, it’s common for Russia to recruit Ukrainian nationals for this kind of work. That’s if they were working for anyone and India isn’t scoring some points for discounts on Russian gas.

      Nah, it sounds like they were mercenaries hired by militant groups in Mynamar to train them on modern drone and electronic warfare.

      So while I’m not going to ever accuse mercenaries of being “good guys”, the terrorism charges are also bullshit, like most terrorism charges are.
