    Tragically the plane crashed into a surface to air missile.

    Edit: yeah, this is actually what happened, no subtlety here, damn.

      Like, fucking literally.

      “Crash” my ass, BBC, you say it got shot down in the article, how is that not a more accurate and sensational headline?

      “Prigozhin got blown the fuck up, like everyone knew he would the moment he pussed out, the Nazi coward.”

        Technically, they just say that a Wagner linked Telegram channel said it got shot down. They’re probably waiting for better proof/additional sources before they take the full step of saying it was shot down themselves (at which point I think it’d get added to the headline).

        Because the only source for that (at present) is the Wagner Group, who have a (dead) dog in the fight and are not bastions of truth. NYT will be trying to confirm it before saying so.

          Do they have a dog in this? Last I heard they were getting executed in the field if they showed support for the coup.
