It crashed into a missile that was just looking at a cathedral.

I can't believe I learned this from a meme

You're welcome.

The plane was shot down in Russian airspace.

[-] spacesweedkid27@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Do we really know that it was shot down or are we just suspecting that?

[-] JustAManOnAToilet@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

BBC reported it was missing a wing on the way down, so either it just decided to shed its wing on its own or it was knocked off by something. Not too many things flying around in the air that can take off a plane wing.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It was a Russian plane though. These things probably lose wings regularly.

I mean it would totally make sense for Putin to kill him and the Wagner leaders because they know too much and have opposed him at once.

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I can't stop reading it as "Warner Bros." and getting confused all the time.

The Rock has assassinated Prigozhin!

[-] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

The 3rd Rock?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

From the Sun?

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Was it shot down? I haven't looked into it much. But Putin's cronies could definitely have sabotaged the plane to crash as well.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

There are reports of Moscow AA "accidentally" firing on it.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Okay cool. I don't think Putin would be that obvious since his future bargaining with challengers kind of depends on it. He just sent a message that he can't be reasoned or bargained with.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

He hasn't bothered with bargaining with his challengers BEFORE, either. I mean, he tried to assassinate his biggest public political rival Alexei Navalny, then when everyone got angry at him for trying to do that in pretty blatant fashion, just threw him in prison and will likely keep him there on whatever charges they think they can make sound reasonable for as long as possible.
