Prigozhin?
rumor mill working overtime on this one. i'm seeing reports that:
- plane was shot down by air defense (could provide for convenient excuses: "we thought it was a uke drone", "a minion pressed the wrong button", etc.), video shows white puffs in the sky around the plane, and witnesses on the ground have apparently stated that they heard two pops prior to see the plane fall - all consistent with AA.
- there were two planes belonging to prigo flying from moscow to st. pete. prigo was
listed as a passenger on the first plane, but there is a chance he was on the second one. after the first plane went down, the second one turned around and returned to moscow.
The crash looks like a nearly vertical drop. Don't most plane crashes glide to impact?
it's the straight drop plus the fact that the plane was clearly on fire that make me believe it was air defense or a bomb onboard.
100% chance we will never know the truth
disagree. some people will want the truth to be known (ex: prigo's supporters, wagner-sympathetic FSB and GRU officers, etc), so i wouldn't say there is no chance we'll find out.
