Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Doesnt look like an Embraer Legacy which has swept wings and engines attached to the rear fuselage. The aircraft in that video has straight wings with wing-mounted engines, looks like a military transport. It also seems to differ from other videos posted as there is a signficaint flames on view as it nears the ground, the other videos have primarily whiteish smoke but not much if any visible flame. Doesnt mean the other vids are legit mind, but they fit better. This one is certainly off.

He's all over Russia, now, it would seem.

In the turmoil that followed Prigozhin's military convoy to Moscow, and subsequent turnaround, pandemonium reigned. All the top brass had frozen, not knowing what was going to be the result, and not taking any action because of this. They wanted to be on the "right" side of whoever won. Then you had a proportion of Wagners who were very unhappy with Prigozhin too because of what he did. So Putin bought time to take back full control.. moving against Prigozhin would have been a bad move back them. So he bided his time, and when he was good and ready, he struck, and had Prigozhin killed. ( this is the current news, but we will know in a day or two for sure )

Yes and the 9/11 moon landings were an outside job.

I wonder was this times also to dedlect from the Indian moon landing and russians crash into the moon which was a major embarrassment

Putin gone hiding in Valdai again.

Most likely though its the law of the jungle. If the leading male lion of the pride, shows any kind of weakness, he will be replaced. The law of the jungle. Putin had to assert his power...or else.

6 stages of grief.

His own Wagner group have confirmed the death. Give up the silly conspiracy theories already, the reality is crazy enough

Hi.

Went looking back through FR.

Here is the aircraft in question. Tail number: RA-02795.

It's transponder was switched on quite late, when it was well into it's Climb to cruising altitude.

This is the point at which it appears on the tracking software, climbing through 16,900ft. The time is 15.02 UTC.

Here, the aircraft is continuing as normal, now at almost FL 270. The time is now 15.11 UTC.

Then, a few seconds later , The aircraft transponder signal stops, and the aircraft disappeared from "radar" ( not primary radar) at FL26825. The aircraft appeared to be in level flight at this stage, at a speed of just below 400kts. Note the Aeroflot 737 ( miraculously still flying without any western maintenance C and D checks or support, apparently, I might add) following behind.

The pilots of the following Aeroflot commercial flight, would have seen the Embrarer on their TCAS display and, 2000ft above them and almost directly in front, would have seen any explosions pertaining to the aircraft. This commercial flight peeled away to the left on a different heading just after the anomaly with the Embrarer, on its planned flight path.

There is one airbase to the south of where the aircraft came down, around 50km away. A home to Mig interceptor aircraft (25's or 31's?), this airport's runway was closed in 2014 for repairs and it is not entirely clear if it is currently operational.

Nope. Nearest aircraft was an Aeroflot 737 following behind. Regards. P.

Thanks.

Your last post once again shows that people that criticised your post in this thread are wrong. 👍

I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for all this. His plane probably accidentally fell out of a 2000 story high window.

According to Prigozhin himself, the whole escapade was aimed at Shoigu and Gerazimov, who he claimed were refusing to supply him with the arms he needed to take Bakhmut, and the cause of many of his men getting killed, and as such was not aimed at or meant to overthrow Putin. However, Putin didn't interpret it that way, and promptly hightailed it out of the Kremlin ( same as most of the top brass.) when Prigozhin's armed convoy came within 70 miles of Moscow. So as we now know, a deal of one kind or another was hammered out between Putin and Prigozhin, which led Prigozhin into a false sense of security. Putin bided his time, neutralizing the Wagner group, and killing Prigozhin. The burning question now though is, has the Wagner group (and others) been neutralized enough....

Another Icarus that flew too close to the sun.
