Does the Russian upper class have access to sufficient military power oppose the Wagner group?

Probably not. But Wagner group doesn't have the manpower to subjugate the entirety of Russia either.

The Russian national guard is supposed to be fairly large, and you would think that the air force can operate inside the borders of Russia (for now).

Do I think they can march on Moscow? No. But I'm also not convinced that this can be outright stopped without compromising the war.
