Well it was a twofer and it was Prig’s personal aircraft so I’m guessing he was ok with it. I’m looking forward to all of the MoD excuses on how it was an accident in the age of mode C transponders which that aircraft absolutely had.

If we're starting an excuse pool, put me down for "It was a Ukrainian missile."

Putin would have a hard time pinning Polonium-210 poisoning on the Ukraine but a missile, no problem.

Lately Putin's foes have been falling out of windows from about 20 stories. This seems like a production designed to make a statement.

@Rasputin_Vol @volgr @DonjoVol we need an official Russian state media propaganda response to this. You three fill that duty on this forum so what are your talking points? TIA!

Wagner chief Prigozhin listed as passenger on plane that crashed with no survivors, Russian authorities say

True. Shooting a jet out of the sky in daylight is a nice reminder to the military that "bad things can happen."

He's a ruthless little KGB dinosaur. Luckily, he can't field nor command a decent army but he does excell at causing accidents.

Being a Russian General is a lot like being the guy in charge of Al-qaeda or ISIS was a few years back. You might be a big shot now, but the life expectancy is minimal.

How much you want to bet the Russian Aviation investigators arrived at the crash scene in Tver before the Embraer had departed Moscow? 😂

Just for giggles our Russian Ambassador should offer to send a full NTSB investigation crew to help find the "cause of this tragedy" since it was apparently a domestic airplane accident.

We're just helpful like that. 😏😎

Interesting development if true and one wonders what else is going on behind the scenes.

If indeed the remainder of Wagner forces think Putin off'd their leader they may now be following someone who is going to follow through this time. And I have to say I still don't fully understand Wagner, seemingly saying one day that the war was ill conceived and meritless, and on the other hand killing any soldiers not fully committed to it.

They’re paid mercenaries. They aren’t loyal to any sovereign state they’re loyal to the person signing their paychecks.
