Yevgeny Prigozhin bites the dust…

[Abilene Slim SASS 81783]

…aboard a jet that crashed. It’s claimed the jet was shot down by Russian air defenses. Didn’t take long to get rid him. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving fellow. What’s the tally now of those murdered by Putin in the last 1 1/2 years?

[Trigger Mike]

I bet if someone took out the Russian and Ukrainian leadership every one would get along better.

[Buckshot Bear]

No way would I have gotten on a plane with him aboard!

[PowderRiverCowboy]

Plausible, but I kinda doubt it as his ego wouldn’t have allowed him to stay hidden for long. Perhaps Putin had already disposed of and this was a great way to get rid of some others. Reports are that some top lieutenants were aboard. 

[Subdeacon Joe]

Suicide by plane crash.

The world is a better place tonight.  Just a little bit anyway.

“Honest injun, we didn’t know the missile was loaded!”

[Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022]

Well.... at least he did not fall out of a window, Bless his little heart.

[Pat Riot]

Not sure, but am I better off not knowing who this is?

 

If she/he’s as douchebag I really don’t need to know who he/she is.

Founder/leader of Putin’s murderous mercenary army, the Wagner Group.

He was vying for “successor to Putin”.

[Major Crimes]

I'm surprised he lasted this long. I bet his hands shook every time he walked past a window.

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

I’m thinking the plane was carrying the whole leadership of the Wagner Group.

[Rip Snorter]

There used to be a rule in a large civilian corporation where I worked for many years, that the whole Zone / Region leadership team never flew on the same flight.  No one was out to get us.  Gotta wonder.

If it was, that sure wasn't good planning.

Maybe they didn’t have a say in the matter.

Pentagon can't confirm that a missile brought it down.  Possibility of a bomb onboard.  Anyway, no definitive proof that he was on board.  Of course, he could have been disposed of otherwise, and this was a way to get the rest of the Wagner top command.  If you are really into speculation, maybe he found some other way to escape to somewhere else, and faked being on board.  Be really nice if he is gone, regardless.  Would be even better if Putin was gone, but that doesn't appear likely at this time.

 

Not sure I trust what the Puzzle Palace PIO people are spouting.  They keep saying the Ukrainians are failing to break out because they are attacking at three different points instead of concentrating on a single point.  Gen. (ret) Jack Keene, said on Fox that concentrating all you forces at a single point allows the enemy to counter with all his forces. Keene pointed out that Patton attacked along three fronts at Metz, and it took him several weeks, but  eventually broke through the German lines of defence.  Keene also said we should have gotten Ukraine the F-16's much earlier!  A USAF reserve outfit is training Ukrainian pilots and maintainers on the F-16.  I wonder if the MiG's and SU's Ukraine now has, have centered joysticks, whereas the -16 has a sidestick controller, which might take some getting used to.

Moscow has confirmed that Prigozhin died in the crash.

After investigators were told to make sure he was dead, gunshots were heard.  (Piling on the sarcasm.)
