Maybe the Ukrainian teams should think about targeting pilot housing/barracks.

Considering the shape most Russian equipment seems to be in, targeting airframes may be more effective. Easier to pull pilots out of retirement than refurbish aircraft without sufficient spare parts.

Huh. Imagine that.

Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin presumed dead after Russia plane crash

The Russian private military company boss was on the passenger list of the jet which came down near Moscow.

That was a tall window from which to fall.

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

Grey Zone said local residents heard two bangs before the crash and saw two vapour trails.

I wonder where the plane was parked?

edit: bet he was not in that one.

I wonder if it's a "punishment fits the crime" sort of thing after that Russian AF airborne C&C aircraft was shot down during Wagner's march toward Moscow. Putin's petty, and losing that aircraft hurt the Russian air force.

ETA- it "crashed". Radio guy said "shot down". Both could be true...

For those who follow such things:

The head of the Wagner Group in Russia (Yevgeny Prigozhin) is dead. Plane crash…

[He briefly launched an insurrection against the Russian military in June]

Saw this on Telegram, but didn't understand it was a russian defection.

Telegram indicated the pilot killed the two other in the aircraft.

Telegram video showing Prigozhin's plane falling from the sky

Red is the more curious smoke, yellow is the path of the plane... Widely being reported as being shot down.

Other Wagner leaders onboard, including Dmitry Utkin, the nazzi tattoo guy. Wonder what the rest of Wagner is going to do now that the head has been chopped off?

Who is Dmitry Utkin, the Nazi-obsessed Wagner commander presumed dead in the same crash as Prigozhin?

Dmitry Utkin, a close associate of Prigozhin, kept a low profile but was a key figure in the brutal Wagner Group — which was named after him.

Ukraine made an amphibious raid on Crimea and destroyed several RADAR sites.
