There is no land force capable of stopping Wagner between Moscow and Rostov. The only hope is the Air Force, which has had a weak record in Ukraine and their willingness to get involved entirely depends on their loyalty.

Russia simply does not have extra combat capable units sitting around. And I don't see Putin ordering the MOD to send their front line units on a fighting retreat from the Donbas and Crimea to chase Pryghozhin's rear.

And Wagner claims to have shot down 3 helicopters, and some bigger plane of some kind (just heard it over a live podcast and didn’t hear it perfectly) was shot down just a few minutes ago.

Some Russian MOD air assets seem to be involved. But Wagner brought along mobile AD systems, and have shot down some helicopters and reportedly an AN-24 transport so far.

Reportedly an air strike on the Wagner column near Voronezh

Gee, it was only 12 hour drive from Rostov on Don to Moscow. Ya think the Wagner forces, if this were a real coup, would be announcing a march on Moscow from that distancing knowing the Russian air force would destroy them?

It's more ridiculous, neocon bullsh$t.

This was never a coup attempt. It's far more likely to have been psych op that fooled the morons running this war in the Biden regime.
