UPD: According to the reports, Yevgeny Prigozhin was listed among the passengers. According to unconfirmed reports, Dmitry Utkin with the call-sign “Wagner”, warlord of the Wagner PMC was also killed.
It is reported that another aircraft of Prigozhin is currently maneuvering over Moscow.
On August 23, an aircraft crashed in the Bologovsky district of the Russian Tver region. According to preliminary reports, the accident resulted in deaths of 10 people. Probably none of the passengers survived the incident. Sources close to the Wagner Group claim that the aircraft was shot down by Russian air defence forces.
According to the local reports, the aircraft was an Embraer 600 business jet with the tail number RA-02795. This aircraft reportedly belonged to the team of Yevgeny Prigozhin and was repeatedly seen in Belarus.
The jet was flying from Moscow and it disappeared in the Tver region.
Footage from the spot confirm that smoke was seen on board. The locals claimed that two explosions thundered before the aircraft crashed.
live by the sword,die by the sword.
eternal glory to prigozhin.
he’s alive and well . all a stage . in russia (and the rest of the world) usually confirming info takes time. now everybody knew the exact number of plane, passengers list, even the corpses were recovered and a dna test will be done. all within 24 hours? come on … same as the wagner “coup” that was over in the first 24 hours. these things never happen so fast unless well planned.
err maybe? i feel like this is a low tier z cope. more likely was left to settle, killed him off because the coup exposed weakness in the kremlin and there are disputes with other private contractors and agreements in africa. you know, if you called them out more they would perform better. likely war will be wrapped up with both sides claiming victory and hurting anyway, what a waste. waste of money and people.
this looks like some sort of psyop like we have already seen.
