What an "unfortunate accident" ;)
That's old news. Why write about it now?
Stupid of him to take a window seat
Oh no, what if they replace him with someone who knows how to do war?
Their mercenaries know but they also killed prighozin and certainly aren't letting them get near actual power after the half rebellion.
Nah, that guy tried to fly a long time ago.
That position is probably just saying "Yes/Sure/Of Course" to Putin.
But if that "yes" doesn't yield positive results, you're put on a plane.
That's the basic idea, but that hotdog mogul Prigozhin showed us there's a whole secret menu of bad options as well!
I think all of them are long gone by now. He will be replaced with some other incompetent sycophant.
I hope you're right, but I'm afraid there's always a chance of someone competent still existing in the ranks
Not a appartment window ?
Wait for it, planes also have windows
My plane has Arch, btw.
They couldn't find a building tall enough.
Accident?
Internal purge most likely. Officially accident likely either equipment failure or pilot error or both.
The old fascist pension plan.
Sources at the crash site, speaking to state news agencies Tass and RIA Novosti, confirmed that the plane plummeted into a cliff face.
CFIT, if true. Not defenestration this time, apparently.
Running into a cliff face at speed is like falling out the window of a tall building, just rotated 90°.
Depending on how fast the impact and how pancaked the fuselage there is a strong chance it was a partial defonstration
The An-26 model, which has been in service since the late 1960s and is also used by airlines for freight, has been involved in a number of deadly crashes over the last decade.
