I think most of us saw this coming the instant he retreated from his attack on Putin.

Definitely more dramatic than I expected, but yeah it was only a matter of time. Rather surprised it took at long as it did really.
It sends a clear message for anybody else planning to cross Putin.
Yeah, Prigozhin forgot the golden rule: If you take a swing at the Tsar, you better aim low.
Also, don't miss.
Or don’t give up. Go all in.
Also, execute his entire family.
Should have gone for the head
Air defense throwing 5th floor windows now

- Put some polonium in his tea
- He doesn't drink tea
- OK, time for plan B...
The Embraer Legacy 600 business jet with registration number RA-02795, which belonged to Yevgeny Prigozhin, was shot down by air defense fire in the Bologovsky district of the Tver region.
Initially, there were seven people on board. Before the plane crash, local residents listened to two bursts of characteristic air defense, and this is confirmed by contrails in the sky in one of the videos, as well as the words of direct eyewitnesses.
The information is being specified.
No need to be hasty here, the wing getting blown off could have been due to natural causes.

Da, fank uh, comrade, zis iz really vest’s error - zey are ze ones preventing ze maintenance of plane.
You don't say
That's really a horrible tragedy. That jet could have been sold to supply the Ukrainian troops!
I don't mind that monster being cut out of the game though.
There was 10 people that died, including staff on the plane. Have some respect.
This guy was the main reason for death and destruction in Ukraine. No.
9 other people died too.
If 9 decent people share a nice meal with Hitler, 10 assholes share the table. I've run out of compassion for associates of murderers.
If someone is delivering pizza to a terrorist, they're a terrorist?
Unfortunately the assassins agree. I do not.
Delivering a pizza is a bit different from working for the mob in my book, but if it makes you happy feel however you feel about it. I'll celebrate.
Prigozhin didn't exactly fly coach. All 10 people aboard that plane were working for the guy, almost certainly voluntarily.
If they wanted to crush the plane I'm sure they're easier ways than shooting it down.
Are there? Pushing a button is pretty easy.
