Background
Since the end of 2023 (before the official creation of Securis), some members of Securis have been transmitting data on the location of Ukrainian equipment to Russian intelligence services.
In view of this, when Russian troops began to advance in the Kharkov direction, Northland decided to officially intervene in the conflict, cooperating with Russian intelligence, and soon, the Northlandian PMC Kolovrat announced voluntary preparations to go to the front, after which Operation "Black Clover" began.
Events
May 10, 2024, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation begin receiving intelligence data from Securis. According to their instructions, the destruction of equipment and personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces begins. On May 13, the "Kolovrat" PMC, numbering 6 people, departs on a private flight to Crimea, from where it gets to the front. On the spot, the soldiers receive some equipment and later weapons, since what they had was clearly not enough.
Soon, for successful battles, they receive more and more different weapons, and soldiers and a small number of local volunteers join their ranks. However, Securis' participation has been gradually decreasing since the summer.
Today, the number of "Kolovrat" PMC fighters at the front is 32 people, who have two artillery installations, several armored personnel carriers, a light tank, many hand weapons and drones. Securis is no longer involved in the operation for the most part.
