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.

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.
