Wagner Channels already announced another March of Justiceโข in case YP ate shit.
Ended their message with "you better hope he's alive..."
Edit: Three separate sources confirmed Prigozhin and Utkin dead. Not only Wagnerites but also ultranationalists are calling for blood.

The Guardian reports Wagner allied media are reporting the plane was shot down by Russian air defenses.

My understanding is that they had their heavy weapons taken away and were moved out of Russia, maybe specifically to guard against this scenario. And some people signed contracts with the Ministry of Defense. I don't think that there's much of an intact independent Wagner organization in Russia right now.
-
I would expect him to have some contingencies. He must have believed that none would dare mess with him.
-
-
-
If they canโt bring him to an open window, theyโll do the next best thing and bring one to him.
-
It was the airplane window that got him.
-
-
Tossed the entire aircraft through a window. Just to make it look like an accident.
-
He probably knew to always stay on the ground floor of buildings that have bars on their windows.
-
-
Well. Who would have thought. Then again, that seems a pretty cliche way to go. I would have thought he'd make it harder for them.
-
According to an American agency, he stayed in a hotel without windows. So he made it hard for them.

I would have thought heโd make it harder for them.
The guy is on the West's shitlist and then got himself on Putin's shitlist too. Where is he going to go?
The West probably isn't going to assassinate him, but I suspect that he'd likely be heading for a courtroom and later jail cell over some of the things that Wagner did.
Ukraine's Office of the Prosecutor General has filed charges against Wagner mercenary group head Yevgeny Prigozhin. The organization is accused of war crimes in Ukraine, Syria and Mali.
Maybe you can hide somewhere, but that's a lot of parties out there who would like to get ahold of you.

Is that a new variant of the good old russian gravitational poisoning?
-
-
Based on the past events where they shot their own planes I wouldn't discard a mistake and not even intended.
-
This was far from the frontlines. Tver is north west of Moscow.
-
-
-
Well that didnโt take long.
-
A bullet in the head or a heroin overdose would have been cheaper and had costs fewer lives, but Russia is Russia. They love their โaccidentsโ.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a plane which crashed in Russia, killing all 10 on board.
Earlier, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported that the jet was shot down by air defences in Tver region, north of Moscow.
Prigozhin led a failed mutiny against the Russian armed forces in June.
This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

The plane started from St Petersburg. No SAM needed just a bit of work on the plane.

In German we have a saying that's quite fitting in this situation I think:
"Tja."
Machste nix.
Steckst nicht drin
Is it possible to find a situation for which the germans don't have a highly specific term? Does the concept of that situation have a specific word in german?
โWortfindungsschwierigkeitenโ would work, literally just means โword - finding - difficultiesโ
Itโs not exclusively made for this but is actually a word that you will hear out in the wild from time to time. For a more specific word we could say something like โOkkasionalismuslosigkeitโ which would translate to โThe Absence of an occasional wordโ, but this is probably the first and last time that is used by anyone
