He was Prigozhin’s second in command until he refused to join the mutiny and switched to Putin’s side. He was moved out of Wagner, but still has connections there…if he suddenly shows up in charge, we’ll know what happened. Jet was Prigozhin’s own private Embraer Legacy 600, and several Telegram channels are reporting it was shot down by air defences…however there is no confirmation of that. A civil jet like an Embraer would be a relative doddle to down with a missile or gunfire, as they aren’t designed to resist explosions like military aircraft are.

ICTChris Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 If his jet was shot down by Russian air defence, after a week of Ukrainians absolutely pummelling MOscow with drones and filming strikes on the highest end AD in Crimea it would be quite something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ordered several Russian military aircraft shot down during his botched coup attempt AFAIR, so flying over Russian military air defences was asking for trouble. Would the Russian air force do this unilaterally or did the order come from Vlad? If it's the latter and I suspect that's much more likely, I guess a failed coup attempt calls for dropping to his death much more spectacularly than would be the case from a high rise flat's balcony and the rest of the Russian elite will get the message loud and clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Could be that he faked his death? Especially after reports a second plane he owns took off sometime later then returned to Moscow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after reports a second plane he owns took off sometime later then returned to Moscow. Was thinking this too. He's not stupid. Must have know flying in a jet over Russia would be a near enough death sentence. Actually not great for Putin. Aye, he gets revenge, but either domestically he has to spin it that it was an accident and surely not even the Russians would believe that. Or, blame it on a Ukraine drone, which shows that Russian skies aren't secure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 C4 news made out that it would be unusual for Putin to make an assassination so public, like polonium in London and Novachok in Salisbury were meant to be discrete? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
