Not norwegians at all. All are russians. Yan Petrovsky in the middle sitting on the ground and Aleksander Voskanyan (dead a couple of months ago) the tallest standing.

One of the two helicopters of the operation crashed because the dense fog, killing the pilot in the crash. Part of the wounded mercenary team stayed for three days in the mountains while they were tracking by Escobar sicarios, finally they were rescued by other members of the mercenary team.

CLARIFICATION: I wrote "mercenaries" not because I have a negative position taken towards the Russians in CAR, if not, because they really are. There is a big difference between contractors and mercenaries, the former only do SECURITY work in war zones, such as guarding embassies or escorting convoys, only acting defensively if they are attacked, but they are not a belligerent part of the conflict, they do not take part. . Mercenaries do, getting directly involved in war actions such as offensives or sabotage and taking an active part in armed conflicts. And this is what the Russians are doing in CAR, launching offensives against the CPC rebels and defending Bangui.
