    I wonder who the other passengers were. Probably the kind of people who would possibly keep Wagner resistance up or have too much influence and are considered a liability in a takeover.
    Or maybe Prigozhins family to strike fear into Wagner troops about their family if they don’t cooperate.
    Or, since there were reports that Wagner troops are scrambling Prigozhin didn’t join the flight as a ruse.
    Well the last one might be a reach and entering bullshit conspiracy theories but in general I’d like to know who was on that plane.

      Dmitry Utkin was likely on the plane, so that’s one more dead Nazi, He was also the founder and co-leader of Wagner.

        Ok that makes sense.
        Still, there was no need to shoot down the plane. Maybe as a visual revenge for the Russian plane Wagner shot down. Definitely some people died who didn’t need to die so this is a barbaric act with no regard for human life.

          It was a private plane used by Wagner, there were likely no innocent people on board, just Nazis, War Criminals, and such, and those who were aids to Nazis and War Criminals.

            Yeah, there’s not really a lot of stuff Putin and I agree on, but shooting this plane down was probably a good thing, all things considered.

              The only thing that would have made this better is if the plane had landed on Putin. But that’s just wishful thinking.

              We do know that the next coup attempt against Putin will not be called off, they know Putin won’t keep his word now. (They should have known that from the beginning)
