Let's see what they say
The Grey Zone telegram channel ran by Wagner PMC veterans confirms that Prigozhin is dead
Excellent
It's possible, but then this..
Winston Churchill defined Russia as "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma" , maybe he is right.
Its fascinating when something like this happens, the theories are jumping out already
How long until someone blames Biden?
To be sure to be sure.
Sky news said Prog owned two planes that were in the sky at the time. I'm not sure if the second plane was in the same area.
“Prigozhin’s plane was blown up…..we made sure of that….”
Oh for sure, Putin shenanigans are the most likely cause. I just throw in the maintenance angle as a possibility. I think I enjoy those Aircrash Investigations shows too much :P
Fuk me "sad face Prigo" needs to become a viral meme.
Who is 2nd in command or was he on the plane too?
Any troop movement from Belarus making a beeline for Russia?
Strange they are volunteering all the details, the plane crash, him being on the passenger list, his death, the plane being blown up from inside.... Guess they will announce who done it soon. Probably blame NATO or Ukraine or some lame crap everyone, including the Russian public will see through.
Prigozhin could have been assassinated for sure, but I feel there’s an equal chance for the Russian-maintained aircraft he was flying in to crap out and crash….especially after a long haul to Africa
Can't be ruled out but it certainly isn't an equal chance.
It's the mafia, high probability he was taken out. By who is the only question.
You are probably looking at half a dozen suspects in Russia alone.
Let's not forget he attended a meeting with Putin in Moscow days after the coup! He must have believed he had immunity somehow. It's either a huge ego or a case of awful naivety on his part if he is infact dead.
As far as the conspiracy theories go, if this is the last we see of him, there is little difference between him being dead and being put in a position that he can never be seen in public again, apart from the satisfaction of knowing he came to a sticky end.
...
Even for Russia I think that plot twist would be too incredible. Though I can see from some posts above that the conspiracy theories have started already
could have been the wing....
Confirmed by the Wagner group's telegram channel and according to unverified video/rumours it was shot down (one wing only on the plane as it was falling down but in one piece beyond that). Below from CNN.
A plane which matches the profile of an Embraer Legacy 600, is seen falling out of the sky with one wing missing, according to video published by Russian state media outlet RIA Novosti.
CNN is unable to confirm the authenticity of the video, but RIA Novosti claimed it was the moment that an Embraer jet fell from the sky in the Tver region of Russia.
The plane seen in the video appears similar to Embraer Legacy 600, a match to an aircraft registered to Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin. Its paint is dark and the engines — two almost boxy ovals — are set far back near the tail.
It's seen falling in the video in one piece; there's no indication of a catastrophic explosion in the body of the plane. However, as the plane twists, there appears to be only one wing still attached.
It is evident that the plane is out of control as it spirals downward.
Also dead
All eyes on Belarus now to see what happens.
Taking the Russian reported expensive wine explosive device placed on the plane and the fast confirmed death notice. Take all that pantomime in the media at face value or not. If this was all staged or not. If Prigozhin is dead or not.
The next cue is still Belarus what will happen there with the Wagnerites and nuclear weapons placed there.
Wow those couple of minutes must have been terrifying for those on board.
Which is nice.
havnt been following for awhile, but what is the consensus/reason that the March to Moscow was stopped when they got to 70 miles of Moscow - I know a pact was made and he moved to Belarus, but suerly this was the likey outcome - dont understand why he stopped so close , when he had initiated mutiny against Putin ?
When was the last time Prigozhin was filmed or interviewed in public?
Are both on the same plane. Are both that stupid ?
Unless they were put on the plane against their will.
Probably knocked unconscious instantly that was clearly a big hit
A few days ago in Africa or at least talking about Africa , haven't seen much news.
That was down to the border issues on either side, no?
If it was shot down, then Putin obviously wants it to be clearly known by all Prigohzin was eliminated by him. It's no coincidence Surovikin was sacked today either. I thought they'd go with mechanical failure to explain it away, even though no one would really believe that. This is clearly a stark message to disaffected military officers to toe the line or else you will end up like Prigozhin.
Yesterday or day before that there was a video of him in Africa, probably Mali can't remember. At first a lot of people thought hes not on board, still in Mali, but miracles do happen
Yeah. I find it a bit weird they were so quick to identify them. It is unlikely they are in one piece…
Elvis is giving a concert this weekend. Heard JFK and Marilyn are attending.
