eisfeld Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) MOSCOW, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was listed as a passenger on a private jet which crashed on Wednesday evening north of Moscow with no survivors, the Russian authorities said, raising fears among his allies that he had been killed. There was no immediate official confirmation that Prigozhin, Russia's most powerful mercenary and a self-declared enemy of the Russian Defence Ministry, was physically on board. Reuters could not confirm that he was on the aircraft though a Telegram channel linked to Wagner pronounced him dead.

eisfeld Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 Seems like Prigozhin as well as his second in command at Wagner are both dead. Crossing Puting tends to have accutely reduced life expectancy as a side effect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) Well at least he didn't fall out of a helicopter. I feel for the "innocent" plane crew. Or he faked his own disappearance???? Edited August 24, 2023 by VocalNeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddic Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) Another "accident"... Is anyone surprised? Expect a lot more "accidents" with the remaining Wagner group... Edited August 24, 2023 by Saddic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post In the jungle Posted August 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2023 No need for an accident investigation. It is clear that the plane fell out of a window. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I wondered why Putin hadn't resorted to his usual poisoning or falling out of tall building playbook. I'd be highly skeptical that that the video filmed by some local peasant wasn't staged. You never see video of a poisoning or falling from a high building. The video was almost too good to be true. Putin likes to terrorize and what better than to show a plane falling from the sky? For those in his circle watching that, they know aircraft don't fall from the sky like that, unless it's an inflight explosion, caused by what, bomb, missile, we'll never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain the uncontrolled straight down fall. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/prigozhin-plane-crash-villagers-hear-bang-then-see-plane-plummet-ground-2023-08-24/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
