A plane carrying notorious warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose Wagner group launched a failed coup against president Vladimir Putin in June, has crashed on a flight from Moscow to St Petersburg.
All 10 people on the plane, including three crew members, died in the crash, Russia’s emergency ministry said, according to state newswire RIA Novosti.
Russian officials said a man with Prigozhin’s name was among the passengers, without elaborating further.
He had information that could lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.
There is a video that shows a plane spiraling down from an fan shaped smoke pattern. Consistent with a heat seeking missile shoot down.

If he's really dead, then yes. This is our answer. He had a brief opportunity to take out Putin in June 2023. Moscow was undefended and no one was able to stop the Wagner Guys.
All the Russian troops were in Ukraine. It's unlikely that Putin's regime would mount a counterattack after Moscow is captured. It'll be just like 1917.
It was his private jet, as you said. Not the only one he owns. It was an Embraer business class jet. Very well-made aircraft designed and built in Brazil. Embraer is heavily subsidized by the Brazilian government. Their jets have become very popular and are extensively used by United, American, Delta, and other U.S. carriers for commuter jet service.
GRU?? KGB??? CIA??? NBA???
It was ONE of his private jets. Another landed in another town later in the day; there’s some speculation on Telegram that Prighozin was on the second jet, and is still alive.
Belarus has apparently got a bit worried about the Wagner chatter, and shut off internet access around their locations. Not before Wagner put out some messages to the effect of, stuff’s gonna happen now. Some speculation that they’ll be bugging out of Belarus before the end of the week.
Baloney. The pilot had already been severely reprimanded and removed from duty flying the Presidential plane because he diverted to a safe airport due to weather rather than the intended airport. The President was bitter at being forced to drive over an hour.
This was that AF pilot’s first flight after being returned to duty. The plane before them reported conditions below minimums. The Polish AFG plane ignored it.
And the theory that this was an assassination is retarded. At that time, they were trying to have trade and good relations. So to believe it was an assassination, you have to think Putin invited the Poles to a dedication of a monument to the mass murder at Katyn. Putin was the first Russian leader ever to admit that it was the USSR that did it and he released a signed order from Stalin. Immediately after the crash, he had Russian public TV show the POLISH film “Katyn” nationwide and had a panel of historians discuss it afterwards.
He then addressed the Polish nation and offered condolences.
So ... Putin builds a Katyn monument. He invites the Poles to Russia for the monument dedication to the murdered Poles. He releases Stalin’s letter ordering the murders. He has a stinging Polish movie on the topic shown nationwide. And all of that was so he could lure the Poles in .... and murder the entire upper level of the Polish government?
Retarded. Nobody would believe that except maybe a Pol... oh, Nevermind. lol
Wow, looks like a bomb to me. No missile trail, just a puff of smoke at one spot, and the place spiraling in. That’s no normal accident due to weather or pilot error.
The manager of the Beatles?
My thought exactly. It a bad Summer for Chefs.
Waiting for green t-shirt actor grifter guy to take credit, and Zeepers to host Biden victory parade on FR.
Time to send Yellen back to Kiev with some more Billions for Brandon.
Just like what Mao did to Lin Piao.
Look it up. The communists love shoving people out of building windows(Krivitsky and the Czech leader), poisoning their drinks (Pollonium),or sticking them with poison-containing pellets in the tip of umbrellas (the Markos case), car crashes possibly including Gen. Patton, and a couple of suspicious suicides” (including Prof. Mike Adams and Intelligence Operative Phil Haney, the latter being an acquaintance of mine), etc., not to mention drive-by shootings in Moscow, ad infinitum.
I think you get the picture.
Putin don’t care if it looks like an accident. In fact he likes it better if it doesn’t!.....................
Hmm. Very interesting if true.
Pattern would have been more spherical and too much of the plane was intact coming down for an onboard bomb. There would have also been more debris in the air from an onboard event.
Most SAM’s and AAM’s have infra-red (heat seeker) or radar guidance, but proximity fusing. The warheads of missiles targeting aircraft these days are essentially big shotgun shells.
The beginning of that video looks like a pilot trying to control what was left of his aircraft after the back end and engines got shredded.
There are reports those on the 2nd plane were arrested when they landed. Accuracy unknown, but it’d make a lot of sense that anyone trying to decapitate Wagner would scoop up the occupants of the 2nd plane.
Whether said decapitation will work in the long run remains to be seen. Pooty may have traded one big snake for a few dozen (presently) little ones.
Z-man has denied any involvement by Ukraine, but good cheer about the result. The latter may be in error.
Yup. When old Vlad wants you dead he doesn’t fool around.
What’s that old saying, if you strike at the king, make sure you kill him, cuz he will come back at you. Putin did exactly that.
