Moscow struggles with drone attacks as turmoil grips civilian aviation sector. Russian President Vladimir Putin fired Transport Minister Roman Starovoit early Monday, according to a decree published by the Kremlin. The government provided no official explanation for Starovoit’s firing, but it comes after Ukrainian drone attacks over the weekend sparked turmoil for Russian air traffic, with stranded passengers stuck in airports as flights were canceled.
According to Russia’s federal air transport agency and the Russian transport ministry, Russian airlines canceled 485 flights, while 88 flights had to be redirected and 1,900 flights were delayed in the period from Saturday to...
Teslas don’t have balconies, hence...
The Russians missed his head and shot him in his telsa instead.
A painful place to be shot, I’m sure.
Reminds me: what ever happened to the dude in front of the hotel is New Orleans (the day of the truck/crowd terror attack there) in the Cybertruck that exploded, who died of a “self-inflicted gunshot wound” BEFORE the explosion was detonated. That sure went down the memory hole!
Was it before or after they pushed his Tesla out of a window?
Leave the gun.
Bring the cannolis.
This plays into cliche.
People commit suicide here too.
Some people die under suspicious circumstanced here too.

Peoples whose career is ended often do this.
On another note, Russia has a high suicide rate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate
Why bother to fire him when you are going to shoot him anyway?
“Why bother to fire him when you are going to shoot him anyway?”
Exactly.
With Russian officials, corruption is a given. Corrupt and incompetent will get you killed.
Putin is as bad as Hillary Clinton.
Firing him shows that gov’mt is at least partially interested in honesty. Show me where anything like this happened in 2020-24.
Also, once fired his security is withdrawn. That is a signal to the dudes he hurt to go get him.
Why does this headline mention Tesla?
1”Firing him shows that gov’mt is at least partially interested in honesty. “
ROTFLMAO!
Maybe I missed it but aside from being shot in his Tesla, which gotta sting, what part of the world was his car located?

“Starovoit’s dismissal comes at a time of significant challenges for Russia’s transport sector as the war in Ukraine drags on for a fourth year.
Russia’s aviation sector is short of spare parts and Russian Railways, the country’s largest employer, is grappling with soaring interest costs as high rates - needed to curb higher inflation exacerbated by the war - take their toll.”
I know I wouldn’t want go get shot in the Tesla. Is that near the pancreas? I’m a bit rusty on the old anatomy lessons.
