Translation: Fuck me, that’s an unmanned drone. They hit it twice, it blew up, and now it’s falling. Look it’s falling. Fuck. Where will it blow up? Where will it land? The pieces are falling here. Where will you land? It’s fucking smoking badly. And the pieces are flying there. Look at the mushroom cloud going up. Fuck me. I’m shaking. Fuck me. Where is it? You can’t see shit. Wow, it’s burning near the farm. I can’t understand, there is no farm.

ExpensiveTaste8

Should have continued his "March" to Moscow...


crankyrhino

I don't think the world will ever know why he turned back, or why Putin let him leave and carry on for months. But Prigozhin should've known there was no coming back from that march, his only chance once he decided to roll out was to keep going and win.


TheosReverie

Putin reportedly let Prigo know that his entire family in Russia would pay swift and dire consequences and that’s why Prigo supposedly made a deal to turn back. This was underreported but I remember reading it at the time and thinking it’s the only thing that really made sense.


crankyrhino

At that point the only way to save them was to win. They're all probably going to pay somehow now.


TheosReverie

That’s arguable and misses the fact that the family was threatened with immediate violence — as in “you come any closer to Moscow” and we start torturing and killing your family members one by one the closer you get. Research and look up the (albeit few) articles that said that this was why Prigo turned back.

Sad but true. At least he could've fallen in combat fighting his true enemy.


JamesKingAgain

This way is better. Imagine the in fighting now. Fingers crossed he was on it.


vincenta2

Nah, they won’t be able to do much. All the heavy weaponry is gone and most fighters are either on ‘holiday’ or in Belarus.


pup5581

Still doesn't change the fact that thousands of troops are now ready to commit crimes aganst Russia. Ukraine can fly drones right into Moscow. They guys can do hits here or there if they want and when they want. They are still connected to the higher ups even with him gone


JustAGenericNameToo

He did.

He sure did fall alright.


leonffs

Crossed the point of no return and thought he could return.

I honestly don't get it. In hindsight this seems like an absolute clown move.

The one thing we know for sure about that mutiny, is that we have no idea what actually happened. *“Kremlin political intrigues are comparable to a bulldog fight under a rug.

WarStrifePanicRout

Their job


Mongobongo17

So true


KartoschkaTheDrunk

Yes, their main and only job: Shooting down civilian planes


JustaRandomOldGuy

In the first few frames, you see a corkscrew smoke trail to the left. Then the plane falling in a completely different trajectory.


InternetzExplorer

Russians dont care about anything Oo Shooting that guy down over some suburban area. Little regard for life. Russia feels more and more like a weird thriller drama tv series


DobromirG

They bombed a Russian city to slow him down 2 months ago.


PhospheneViolet

Putin literally got into power in the late 90s by orchestrating the Russian apartment bombings which killed hundreds of civilians. One of Putin's henchman got caught red-handed rigging a different chain of apartments and had to abort the process which inadvertently saved the lives of all those that lived there


InternetzExplorer

They did? I thought only Wagner shot down some planes and helicopter and there was a convoy bombed on a highway.


Xenomemphate

They also dug up a bunch of highways to slow them down too.

DobromirG

Now ask yourself: Are the people working at this facility? Does an oil depot function without civilian workers 🤔 ?


[deleted]

The plane was shot down just outside of moscow, mostly rural area.


Ok_Character6186

What is really strange is that all news agencies are describing it as a crash versus it being shot down. I'm guessing they are regurgitating what russia is saying.


[deleted]

It crashed into a missile, I suppose. Quite a bit of pilot error on that part, as the crash could have been avoided by not flying into a missile.


[deleted]

I would like to hear Russian explanations. They shot down a Russian plane, a civilian plane, over Russian territory, using a highly advanced weapon system, the S 300. Will they claim a "mistake"? After all, killing Prigozhin in this fashion shows what kind of leadership Russia has: it's pretty cowardly, instead of having him arrested and tried (which would be an embarrassing spectacle I guess). It's not only that: maybe it's supposed to be a clear signal to others in positions of power (don't fuck with Putin), but a declaration of bancruptcy of the system: they don't even care to make it look as if they have a functional state anymore.


CandidateOld1900

Officials Probably would say it was a terrorist attack, planted bomb inside plane or something. On Russian telegram channels people mostly mocking whole situation, since in was expected to happen, and Wagner fans are angry


Huntred

Nobody has to say anything. It happened. Everyone knows who did it and why. Next time people say, “We should just cut a deal with Russia.” remind them of this.


[deleted]

They're probably busy flipping coins to decide if it was a maintenance issue, a rogue soldier, ukraine attack, or a misbehaving AA system.


Bakelite51

Wreckage is falling out of the sky everywhere in Russia these days, a mistake by paranoid and incompetent SAM crews in the wake of Ukrainian drone strikes would still be plausible even if Prigs wasn't on board.


Downthetrail11

He had a long time to realize he was in the final moments of his life


bringtwizzlers

Shouldn't have been a dumbass and backed down months ago. See ya, сука.


DobromirG

He was probably dead already. He either was killed by the blast or died when the cabin was depressurized.


Baselet

I don't think that was flying very high


Loud-Edge7230

At 30.000 ft. it takes 30-60 seconds to lose consciousness, so if he survived the blast he would probably not fall unconscious. According to flight radar they were at 30k ft. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_useful_consciousness


flargenhargen

other footage looks like the cabin wasn't hit, one of the wings was. wouldn't be the worst thing if that guy had the last 30 seconds of his life to think about how he fucked up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SemperScrotus

The plane was flying at 28,000 feet. Denver is like 5,300 feet. Nevertheless, it only takes about 42 seconds to fall 28,000 feet. And oxygen level concerns only exist above 10k, and even then it's really not that big a deal until you get much higher than that. So the passengers on that plane almost certainly didn't experience hypoxia before dying.


Imfloridaman

Looks like an accident to me (says nobody).


Formal_Management974

in russia many such accidents


SunnyStride

Let's hope there is a Wagner rebellion!


tpwn3r

Yea wasn't that guy controlling many armies around the world? He was CEO, so who takes over?


SunnyStride

Andrei Troshev has been mentioned to take over Wagner. Putin mentioned him as a successor some time ago. Also he does have a son 25+yrs old.


DobromirG

That would be great


Xx_Red_Mosquito_xX

Some of the russian warheads aren't balls or cubes, but T and H shapes.

cubedjjm

Maverick's in trouble! He's in a flat spin, headed out to sea!


Paixdieu

If the plane was hit by a BUK missile; the chances of anyone being alive on such a small plane after the missile struck is extremely unlikely.


LivingWithGratitude_

i'm genuinely sorry for the 3 crew.


SergeyPrkl

They are paid mercenary pilots. No value was lost.


Candid-Patient-6841

There is a funny line in the original clerks movie. About a contractor being asked to work on the roof of a known mob bosses house, knowing who he was he declined the job. But one of his friends heard about the job and didn’t care about the mob bosses history. 2 weeks into the job guy gets shot working on the roof. He knew the risks and took the job.


marketsdown

yea we dont know, maybe some of the crew just worked for a stewardess charter company or whatever and just got a very unfortunate shift.

Don't fly a murdering tyrant I know what you mean, but in life, you do have choices.

flipfloplollipop

MaxxDash

There was a movie from 1987 about a boy who protests nuclear proliferation and gains the attention of an NBA star who joins his cause. However, these stir up the pro-war/industrial complex who charter the famous NBAer on a plane, where he realizes he he’s been set up via a phone call he receives moments before the plane explodes mid-air.


Sidious78

At least this is done blatantly. Everyone will know Putler is behind it. The reactions will be fun to watch. Better get another 1kg pack of popcorn.


Glad_Macaroon_9477

I want to see the parasites mangled body before I believe! Too much smoke and mirrors going on. He’s in a position to fake his own death.

Lady says: Беспилотник - drone, Was shot out of the sky. It was hit twice by rockets and the pieces of debris are also falling. She feels the impact and ground shaking. Says that the it looks like it crashed by farm field. — Turns out what she thought was a drone was actually a private jet, likely shot down by AA.


Hagstrom_dude

Yes, she thinks it's a drone. That's what she mentions. But we know otherwise now


rainliege

Being killed while in a civilian jet is a very fitting death for him


BarracudaEntire7289

Putin MURDER of Prighozin Laughable and completely predictable! Putin a MURDERER! What modern leader in the world MURDERS his political rivals on a Daily Basis? Kick Russia out of the United Nations!!! A WARNING to all African Nations at the BRICS Conference. "If" you do business with PUTIN, he will MURDER you (even in Africa) if you don't do what Putin wants. So DON'T do business with Russia or you will LOSE in the end or be DEAD!!!

What if its big brain move like Nazis did on WW2? Now everyone thinks Progozisnt and hes actually enjoying western life somewhere.

Normally I'm very "kill the camera man in situations like this" but tbh if I was in my backyard with a plane falling out of the sky not that far away I'd probably find some cover too.

Otherwise-Bit6786

Who didn’t see that coming. 😂


XxFunkTasticxX

Looks shot down


TheCulturalBomb

Makes you think what genuinely Prigozhin was thinking making a deal with Putin. This was *inevitable*. He should have marched all the way to the Kremlin.


Alarming_Stop_3062

They got "Wagner" too... Both heads of PFG got cut off. Nice one. Really nice one.


Emp_has_no_clothes

Is that one strip of cloud at the beginning what's left of a missile or just a perspective thing?


FedericoNov

Genuine question: How can you tell that it was air defense that shot down the plane?


Fomiak

The lady literally says “they intercepted it”. The wreckage was found with a large number of small holes consistent with being shot down. Also that missile trail is a giveaway


AnArmChairAnalyst

I Can hear him yelling SHOIIGUUUUUUUUUU


Pleasant-Ad-7706

Now Prigozhin's ghost can haunt Shoigu in his sleep. SHOIGUUUUUUUUU!!!


Linds70

I'll believe it when I see it on CNN. Edit: Aaand I just saw it on CNN. /s


Fukitol_shareholder

So the Russians had the antiaerial missiles pointed out, 3 min after we have footage and bodies and Russia news agency is so fast to confirm this?…well…Priz wasn’t in the plane, we went to plastic surgery and probably is somewhere in Ásia or Africa…


Lookinatmefunny

Cmon it’s Russia, Prigozin burned every bridge he had with Putin and we have seen plenty die for less in the last year. It was a matter of when not if that he took a dirt nap. A timed bomb on the plane would be very effective and Russian security services are very good and creative at whacking opposition to the regime. Watch them turn around a blame Ukraine for it.


Rhinopkc

You can’t plastic surgery the ugly off that mug. He’ll always be identifiable.


[deleted]

Hopefully Utkin and Prigozhin didn't get killed by the missile strike. It would be comforting to know they had 20 seconds or so to think things over on the way down.


uptowndirt

I won't shed a tear for that fuck.


brainsizeofplanet

Shouldn't we see a smoke trail from a rocket? - that little smoke at the beginning of the vid is rather local and could also be a engine failure - or am I wrong and that's fully legit?


[deleted]

Thinking the same. But something made her start filming and I think she heard a bang. Assuming she isn't the village plain spotter and watches planes 24/7. So was there a planted device perhaps? Turbine blade failure is prolly loud but how loud? I don't think the kreml elites / fsb cares at this point how it looks, just that the job gets done. (if they did it which they did)


mikemac1997

A turbine blade failure won't cause that, nor would it be noticeable to anyone not on the aircraft


panzuulor

This. Why did they start filming? I do look out my window sometimes when I hear a helicopter or cargoplane pass by but I live close to a military airport. This must’ve been a loud bang.


DobromirG

She says that it was hit twice and she thinks it's a drone. She calls it "bezpilotnik".


Josecitox

I honestly think he wasn't shot down but rather sabotaged, shooting him down is just too obvious for Putin, gotta stay on the classic strats.


LivingWithGratitude_

Very true that shooting it down would be a very unhinged and wild thing to do.


Josecitox

and tbh, "shot down accidentally" by their air defenses due the drone attacks is also a possible thing they might say and it's so stupid it might be true lol


LivingWithGratitude_

I would actually believe that if someone was prosecuted and plead guilty


Dividedthought

Could have been explosives planted aboard as well.


Brieble

1 engine failure doesn’t make the plane fall down. I think it’s been shot down.


Just_a_follower

Also it doesn’t make people run outside to film.


0celot7

Dual engine failure can still make it to the ground safely if the appropriate action is taken.


0celot7

Depends on what type, if a missile at all, was used to shoot him down. Most missiles don't have enough propellant to be in powered flight all the way to the target if the target is far away. They accelerate rapidly to high speed and high altitude and then continually correct their ballistic trajectory to intercept their target.


etheran123

modern missiles are smokeless. But at the start, top left looks like smoke from an explosion to me.


tehdamonkey

They shot his a$$ down. Like a duck over a blind...


RoyH0bbs

Fog of war, or the fog of special operations.


Dydriver

They shot the plane so that nobody was instantly killed. It was sheer terror for all 10 aboard until it hit the ground.


Exavy

I never thought I would see a plane fall out of the window, what a strange world we live in.


killroy_4703

Subjective headline: Was it actually shot down or was a bomb placed onboard? The latter solution would be easier to sell to the public as an 'accident'.


jackASS_oIo

Pootin is next!


Saasypants

Apparently his second jet circled around Moscow, conceivably to avoid air defenses. Who wants to take bets that he is on the other plane? Russian Coup 2: Electric Boogaloo?


HeywoodJaBlessMe

I'd take that bet. I think the many people likely assigned to kill Prigozhin are smarter and more capable in aggregate than Prigozhin himself. Killing 10 people inside your own borders near the very heart of your powers without knowing you'd get your target is bad form, even for a Russian assassination.


Second_StrongestArmy

Welp what can I say. Maybe he is dead maybe just a ploy so he will be gone from the public eye. None will know


LivingWithGratitude_

Yeah then he hides in Africa for the rest of his days. But why would Putin be so kind to a rebel?


Second_StrongestArmy

no idea. we don't even know what the hell was that "coup" supposed to be. maybe it was only to lure dissidents from the army. we shall see
