    Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a jet which crashed killing all on board, Russia’s civil aviation authority has said.

    Earlier, Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported the Embraer aircraft was shot down by air defences in the Tver region, north of Moscow.

    The jet, which was flying from the capital to St Petersburg, was carrying seven passengers and three crew.

    They probably don’t mind losing the crew and Piggy might have been the target (assuming this was intentional) but who else got disappeared along with him?

      Yeah I don’t think those were some random farmers who shared a private plane with the boss of Wagner

        So, at the very least, our two good ol’ boys bite the dust at the expense of three crew members and five, could be, random others or support staff.

        Seems a little expensive but it isn’t like the Ruskies haven’t had AA targeting issues before, makes it a believable (read: completely bullshit) excuse.
