1. The AI technology that went into the Peace Walker project was funded by the Patriots. The Peace Walker project was indirectly funded and supported by Cipher in order to develop a validated, field-tested AI, although Cipher has no interest in AI as weapons of war unlike Coldman.

2. Paz and Zadornov were Cipher agents sent to make sure the project went according to plan. Paz was meant to steal Metal Gear ZEKE and bring it back to Cipher for its AI (remember, Cipher has no interest in AI as weapons of war).

3. Paz failed, neccessitating the attack on Mother Base by XOF, not just to punish Big Boss for refusing to follow the will of Cipher, but I suspect also to successfully steal ZEKE.

4. The AI will be used in Project Omega later in the 1980s. Zadornov is working for the KGB, no? But Paz for the Cipher surely. Paz briefly implied when revealing herself to be a Cipher agent that Zadornov might have been a Cipher agent as well ("To our leaders, to Cipher!" Take note the use of "our" in there. She obviously did not know about Kaz's affiliation with Cipher, and since she was trying to get Big Boss to return, she obviously wasn't referring to Big Boss as a Cipher agent, so the only one with direct involvement alongside Paz during that time was Zadornov). I wont rule out the possiblity of Zadornov working for Cipher too (after all we have seen under Kojima's writing) but it seems to me this is not that convincing. Consider that he brought in so many Russian soldiers at the end and manipulating Strangelove to fire the nuke, I'd say that is a rather strong sign that he is truly working for the KGB (instead of working the Cipher under cover). He failed only because Armada arrived at the last minute.

As to your suggestion of the word [our], allow me to say that in many cases in our daily living, we would have said "our country", "our team", "our campany" very commonly. Paz's use of the word [our] in this occasion, in my opinion, may not necessarily refer to herself and Zadornov, but more likely the collective group of Cipher.
