Description

Cargo 200 (Груз 200) is a Soviet military code meaning a soldier killed in action and transported home in a coffin. The phrase originated during the Soviet–Afghan War and later became common Russian military slang for battlefield deaths. On Wagner patches, it appears as text alone, referencing this code and implying enemy casualties.
