But... Even if they did successfully kill the Wagner leader by shooting his plane down, aren't there tens of thousands of Wagner soldiers who would be pissed off at that?

There's another jet of Prigozhin's in the air so maybe he is still alive,

Regardless of Prigozhin's status, Wagner is pissed off and Putin is making a run for it.

Maybe a team up of Wagner with RVC (Russian Volunteer Corps), FRL (Freedom of Russia Legion) and other groups and factions against Putin could happen.

A few thousand decent troops maybe, suspect many commanders have had their loyalty bought before Putin was tried this though.

The 10s of thousands are the convicts.

yeah but don't forget the first threat that worked, besides paying them off. threatening family is still threatening family. and this proves they'll do anything, it's not a bluff.

Watching that video, that seems like a terrifying way to die.

I have no sympathy for Nazi scum, though, and the likelihood that the other passengers were just random civilians and not Prigozhin/Wagner associated seems slim to me.

Im no expert on any of this, far from it. But right now, with the assumption that nukes arent in the picture, iI cant help but think the US wouldnt have much more trouble taking on the Russians than they had against Iraq in 90.

On the other hand, presumably there was an agreement not to kill if he backed down.
So the soldiers may think they have nothing to lose (the family will be tortured/killed regardless, and the only way to guarantee their safety is to take Putin down).

Who knows.

If they didn't surrender (and I suppose it's commendable as a soldier that they fought to the death to defend the helicopter), what else can you do against enemy soldiers at a time of war?

The Ukrainians landed on Crimea as part of a special operation and achieved all the goals of the operation with no losses. The goals don't appear to have been disclosed, but I'm thinking the destruction of the S-400 complex yesterday was probably one of them.

That's some nice symbolism to accompany their actual efforts in retaking the region and doing damage to Russia there.

I'm glad he no longer posts here, but there used to be a poster constantly saying Ukraine should just let go of Crimea because it's been 8 years so clearly it's Russia's now and we need peace blah blah blah.

Which, don't get me wrong, we do need peace, however if Ukraine wants to reclaim all of their land stolen by Russia (they do), then I support their position.

Extremely unconfirmed and very biased report, but if true there's a breakthrough out of Robotyne that's already breached the second line of defense on the Surovikin line with massive Russian casualties and is gaining lots of momentum.

If Ukraine has actually breached the second line of defense, if Ukraine has relatively quickly cleared the km-long trench networks running east-to-west in the immediate areas of the frontline there...then it's possible to do a roll up on Russian positions north and south of said trenches, I guess?

Still definitely taking this with a huge grain of salt, especially since I haven't seen it reported anywhere else.
