This article is very focused on recent events. "Ghost" soldiers were known in previous times as dead-pays or mort-pays and were a common phenomenon in the 16th century, being on occassion regularised to an allowance of a number of deadpays to top up commanders salaries. There are plenty of RS sources referring to the practice which could be used to improve the article. Monstrelet ( talk) 08:56, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
There is a video circulating on twitter [1] of Yevgeny Prigozhin (at 0'57"), before his Wagner Group rebellion, making a statement characteristic of the practice of Ghost soldiers, stating :
This is quite meaningful, confirming earlier foreign analysis of systemic corruptions, overestimate and lack of human resources and materials. [2] [3] I looked for English language journalistic source citing this Prigozhin statement but found nothing online. Can I cite the videos via the tweet ? How should I proceed ?
