Update: Yevgeny Prigozhin has died. It’s confirmed. Videos at the end. Some people believe he was shot down, but that’s pure conjecture.
The chef turned warrior is gone.
Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plane crashed. He is the founder of Russia’s Wagner group and was recently forgiven for his insurrectionist plot. He marched on Moscow but turned around.
This was a business jet traveling from the Russian capital to Saint Petersburg. TASS news agency said an investigation is ongoing. Ten people have died.
“The Embraer plane was flying out of Sheremetyevo to St. Petersburg. There were three crew and seven passengers on board. They all died,” an Emergencies Ministry official told TASS.
The crash happened near the village of Kuzhenkino in the northwestern Tver Region. Some Russian outlets have identified the plane as an Embraer Legacy 600, with the tail number RA-02795, which is believed to belong to Prigozhin. However, this was not confirmed by officials, RT reports.
The Russian federal air transport agency said Prighozhin’s name was on the passenger manifest.
We just posted a video of Priogozhin saying he was leading his group, seemingly, in Africa.

Sometimes, it looks like a missile is going up when, in fact, it’s not. That happened with Flight 800. Eyewitness sightings of a streak going toward the plane that looked like a missile could have been an optical illusion.

I admit I know little about that Prigozhin strange character, so this is just speculation,
either,
-1- It was simply an accident.
-2- The CIA got rid of him for not delivering what he was paid to do ( attack Putin )
-3- Putin got rid of him for obvious reasons.
-4- Prigozhin faked his own death to disapear, he is alive and well…and filthy rich.
Should it be considered the pilots were vaccinated???
4. After he split $6b with Put that was wired to him to mutiny. They had already won and he had bills to pay, so why not go out hollywood style. Probably ukes on plane.
The American media will blame Putin without any proof! Wait for it!
On one video a person can see what appears one of the engines on fire. FlightRadar shows somewhat erratic speed shortly after takeoff. It may simply be a matter of engine failure.
Or a combination of theatrical fx. What was on the ground? Let me guess, an open field with some cameras pointing at the sky. That guy wanted to retire and grow tomatoes.
