The problem is the security services have the military well monitored for signs of dissent. The Surovikin situation was a message to others who might be tempted to rebel. Still as you say if things becomes so desperate for the Russian military some might decide they have had enough and decide its worth the risk. Shoigu won't want to be the fall guy either. I think Putin is only keeping him on for that reason, everyone is to blame but the man who started it all.
In Russia,lawbreakers can be sent to either a prison (not recommended) or to a work camp, which is usually far from the city, but its an easier life. For an idea of prison life in Russia, where serious cases end up, google "The Black Dolphin". Even the maximum security prisons in the US, don't compare.
This is getting interesting
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the plane of Putin's biggest enemies had an accident /s
Seems the chopper was carrying spare parts for SU27s (along with parts for Su-30Ms). Those might come in useful for the Ukrainian air fleet too!

Sky News reporting Prigozhin was on the passager list. Pretty interesting that Russia are acknowledging that fact.
Putin doesn't leave enemies alive
I thought critics of Putin only fell out of windows. Falling out of the sky is a new one.
Dead!
Sometimes it's nice to shakes things up
Prigozhin killed in plane crash??? 10 Killed in private plane. Sky News.
At least another evil and vile individual is no longer of this world
To soon?
If he really is dead ( hard to be sure with this nutter ) it really shows how stupid he was to stop his march on Moscow and think it was all gonna be ok.
What an absolute fool he was to believe that he could do what he did and simply carry on. What an absolute moron.
A cursory read of any of the many books on Putin and his reign and the oligarchy State would have told him and all of us how these things end.
Oh well, rest in pieces, you bad bastard.
An extraordinary development if true. Even the Russian public will know Putin was behind it, given how high profile Prigozhin is.
BBC reporting same
Question is whether he was onboard his plane when the shootdown occurred. Given Priogozhin does have some sway within the Kremlin it's not impossible for him to have been tipped off.
Beyond that he must have surely known that his Mutiny would only end up with him in a coffin sooner rather than later.
So Putin is cleaning house of Wagner
Surovikin an ally of Wagner relieved of duty and most likely will be going through a window soon.
Prigozhin the leader of the terrorist group Wagner is dead
Well that was unfortunate for Prig
Well nobody saw that comng 🤣🤣🤣
Mad but I think everyone knew his days were numbered after the uprising, if he really is dead.
I am shocked. SHOCKED
Prigozhin's plane?
At least he called and Putin and his lies.
Only good thing he did.
The only surprising part for me is that Putin is so blatant about having him assassinated - less than 1% of the Russian population will believe that was an "accident".
Wouldn't be surprised if he faked his own death either.
I would ask anyone who is pro Russia/Putin both on this thread and in real life.
Do you think it's normal for a country's leader to murder his opposition?
How can you think Russia/Putin are the "good guys" ??
The odds of any person dying in a plane crash in a given year would be at least one million to one. The fact that Prigozhin is dead literally a few weeks after the armed rebellion means everyone in Russia will know he was taken out.
Terrible news. When is the removal!
