The former chief sergeant of the 47th OMBr "Magura" Valery Markus published the first video in 1.5 years, in which, in particular, he talked about the unit's technological innovations.
He disappeared from the information space in the summer of 2023 after an unsuccessful counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south of Ukraine.
Here's what Marcus says:
— "Our unit has become a magnet for talents and brilliant people. The staff included diplomats, Silicon Valley programmers, architects, lawyers, professional musicians, and champions in various sports."
— "We started developing the concept of a training center that would be a high-quality alternative to what we have in the Armed Forces. They were developing software for personnel accounting, which they planned to test themselves. Next, it is already a successful case to offer the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
— "I understand that for you, changing the accounting system of the Armed Forces sounds like something uninteresting and petty. But in reality, you cannot imagine how qualitatively it would change the Armed Forces. We created this software at our own expense.
— "During the first year of the unit's existence, I spent about UAH 6 million of personal funds on 47 OMBrs. The other members of the team invested everything they had and everything they needed so that the work did not stop, because they believed in the ultimate goal."
— "The transfer process from another part to ours, in most cases, we managed to reduce to 2 weeks, although usually it is almost impossible or takes a significant amount of time."
In general, the video is devoted to how "Magura" was formed and the conflict with the current deputy brigadier general Ivan Shalamaga.
