Putin has killed or arrested most of the 'next guys', and they don't have the military resources Wagner was given, and who knows if Putin will make that mistake in this lifetime.

According to the Kyiv Post, Ukrainian intelligence even evacuated the pilots family from Russia and the helicopter didn't just have its crew, but also a shipment full of spare parts for Su-27 and Su-30 planes. I'm not sure if Ukraine has any of those rolling around still, but presumably some airfield in Russia no longer has their needed spare parts.

Would it be more or less funny if this wasn't a directive from the top and was some mid level guy getting revenge for the helicopters shot down during the Convoy Coup?

Definitely more.

Comrade Blyatlov posted:

I still can't understand why he backed down at all. Might as well have gone down fighting.

It became clear he'd lost anyway. He depended on defections from the Army, or getting Putin himself. Putin successfully fled from the capital, and the defections were the serving fsb officer and two furries who donated the D&D thread title. At that point, it was clearly over.

no this is unrelated to the accident that happens in the skies.. the skies are dangerous and planes crash all the time all the time you see. Please move along now and grab a tea from the "I asked a question" pile. Thanks.

I don't think Belarus has anything to do it with, unless you meant actual moping.

I've read the reporting.

I still don't believe it. Regardless, the real question is how many more Wagner bodies Russian MOD can snatch up as full recruits now that the dog-slinger is out of the picture.

Is this shock or are you in possession of some impression that leads you to doubt that what seems to have happened actually happened? I'm not trying to call you out, I'd just like a little insight into your perspective.

I think my favorite theory so far is that Putin hadn't taken care of him because the "coup" was directed at Shoigu and the B guy and those dudes took it on their own to take him out.

WSJ reports there was a second Wagner private jet flying the same route a few minutes ahead that turned back to Moscow, and no bodies have been identified from the one that was shot down.

So yeah, a bit conspiracy theory, but still grounds for confusion at this point

Official sources have already confirmed the bodies, and there's no way Putin is giving Prig an out. He's likely dead, its not really conspiracy at this point.

I wouldn't say it's a conspiracy even if he's alive. The guy is known to use body doubles and fake identities. It's fitting within his MO.
