There is no way this was an accident.
EDIT: This is supposedly Prigozhin’s plane falling out of the sky:

The moment he turned around his march to Moscow, this became inevitable.

Yeah, I am honestly surprised it took this long. I thought it would have happened sooner.
Now, I suppose we wait to see if there is a response from the rest of Wagner…

Does Wagner even practically exist anymore? I thought they'd been integrated into the wider Russian military after the rebellion.
