So his plan was to start a coup with 21% of his normal force? No wonder they didn't make Moscow

My guess is that he planned on a popular uprising to join him along the way, and while he’s super popular, so is Putin. It didn’t materialize.

"By popular uprising you mean Telegram reactions right? If I 👍, I'm doing my part?" - Russian Mellenials, probably

The official said the majority of Wagner fighters in Ukraine — 49,000 — were prisoners.

I'm guessing they compromised a large portion of the dead. So not 21% of his normal forces.
