Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

The Expendables free Doctor Death from a prison train and find that the Somalia arms dealer is Conrad Stonebanks, the group's presumed-dead co-founder. Caesar is shot, and Barney disbands the team to recruit youngsters: Smilee, Luna, Thorn and Mars. The plan goes wrong, the new team is captured in Azmenistan, and Barney returns with the veterans, including Yin Yang, and with Galgo. The final assault unites both generations against Stonebanks's army, with tanks and helicopters, before the building blows up.
