thewayneSaid window was in a private jet aircraft. At 30,000' or so. That was experiencing a rapid unscheduled disassembly after being struck by one or two anti-air missiles. I'm sure it was a misfire caused by American hackers that penetrated the Russian air defense network.
The jet was flying to St. Petersburg from Moscow and was about half an hour into its flight when the missiles were launched. Seven people were onboard along with three crew, all are presumed dead. A second private jet that was traveling with them landed safely.
Prigozhin was literally a dead man walking after his attempted putsch a couple of months ago, it was a question of how and when. Apparently the when is now and the how was anti-air missiles. This one-ups Little Kim who executed one of his uncles with an anti-air cannon and is high up on my list for dramatic execution methods of the 21st century.
There's an old saying: if you're going to strike a king, make sure you kill him. Apparently that hasn't been translated into Russian.
It will be interesting to see what becomes of Wagner operations in Africa and around the world.
You would think that Prighozin would have taken a page from Putin's book: travel by train, they're not as easy to shoot down by anti-air missiles. They're a bit slower, but you're more likely to get to your destination.
No sadness here, he was a pretty evil snake IMO.
