"Grey Zone said local residents heard two bangs before the crash and saw two vapour trails." Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin feared dead after Russia plane crash
At some point if I’m one of Putin’s cronies I am going to worry that sooner or later my time will come whatever I do.
I’ve calculated that every top-ranking Russian official who ‘dies’ 30,000 Ukrainian troops are KIA. You’d think that kind of ratio would be enough for the Kremlin.
I wasn't expecting Mr. P to last long. He was a damn fool, he actually had a shot to overthrow "Pukin". Lost his nerve. Better to die a man than go out as a sheared sheep.
Zelenskyites pissed that Prigozhin didn’t storm the Kremlin. Contrast what actually happened with our Jan 6 … Americans are still deeply scarred by unarmed selfie-taking eccentrics placing feet on Pelosi’s desk. By contrast, a miles long heavily-armed armored convoy traverses a hundred miles into Russia and occupy a major city. Russians shrug and go back to work the next day.
or air to air, recall that the russian general he was closest to, a secret VP of Wagner, has just been removed from head of air force and has not been heard from lately. new blood in charge at aerospace. Surovikin: Top Russian general who vanished after Wagner rebellion fired as head of aerospace forces | CNN A top Russian general who went missing after the mercenary group Wagner’s insurrection in June has been fired from his role as head of the country’s aerospace forces, Russian state media reported Wednesday citing unnamed sources. Gen. Sergey Surovikin has spent four decades as part of the Russian military, including a brief stint running Russia’s war effort in Ukraine. He was put in charge of the conflict in October 2022, shortly after a major explosion severely damaged the Kerch bridge connecting the annexed Crimean Peninsula to mainland Russia. Surovikin was removed from that post just months later. He has not been seen in public since June, when he released a video pleading for Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin to stop his insurrection. A Russian lawmaker said in July that Surovikin is “resting.”
who will putin put in charge of Wagner Group. This would effectively give him his own private army to rob from Africa under the guise of providing security. And it would set a precedent for the next guy that might think about taking that shot. Or does Wagner fall apart?
That would have traded one violent dictator for another and would not have been of any benefit to anyone outside of Wagner.
Legacy 600 is a good plane. “Last radar contact was cruising at 28,000.” 100% it was shot down edit- could have also been sabatoge But it was definitely something catastrophic. Planes don’t just lose wings
I was In Morocco when the possible coup was going on and was really concerned about Wagner taking over. Would’ve been bad news for Russia and all of us.
