Wagner Group Founder Yevgeny Prigozhin Reported Dead After Plane Crash in Russia

The mercenary group leader, who led an attempted coup in June, was on board a business jet that crashed in the Tver Region, Russia’s federal aviation agency confirmed.

The Daily Beast
Russia’s Emergencies Ministry said that all 10 people on board died in the incident. The Federal Air Transport Agency is launching an investigation into the incident, per Rosaviatsiya: i.e. training of the crew onboard, condition of aircraft, meteorological situation, radio gear

What an utter crock of shit.

Several videos have already been posted, one of which shows the attack quadrant (missile launch exhaust, missile explosion smoke, and the hit aircraft). Another shows the aircraft going in, tumbling and trailing smoke.

I guess if they'd taught me how to blow up and crash in pilot training, it would be a critique-able skill. I must have been out sick, that day.

Of course, one might be mistaken, but this appears, at this juncture, to be a world leader assassinating one of his countrymen by shooting down an airplane over his own country, killing all aboard and endangering citizens below.
