I fully expected him to trip, fall, and land on some cyanide.

Hospital windows must've gotten too cliche.

This is the part where they reveal that he was flying on a de Havilland Comet somehow.
Aeroflot make the Comet look good.

Dude openly staged a coup against Putin and still managed to survive for two months. That's a lot more than expected.

A coup stood no chance.

Best hypothesis I've seen is that he intended to capture Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu the minister of defence, who was supposed to be in Rostov at the time Wagner took it over.

Seems he was tipped off and wasn't there, and the run to Moscow was a desperation move.

He could have ended Putin's reign and the war but instead took a bunch of cash that he had to know he'd never get to spend. Brilliant.

No one (worth taking seriously) ever accused the Russians who are waging this war of being smart.

Yeah, that's the question isn't it?

What could make someone move so boldly one moment, just to completely capitulate the next?

Regardless of that, I'll be curious to see what kind of confirmation is provided outside of "Russian state media and Wagner says so."

Either it was a big damn load of money or there was some alternative plan in motion.

Shoigu was his main enemy in the regime, the guy trying to take Wagner away from him essentially.

As for the possible coup attempt? If he expected support from the Russian Army it didn't materialise. With only a couple thousand troops, it's not a matter of if it would be surrounded and annihilated, but when.

Apparently Dmitry Utkin (the co-funder and namesake of the Wagner Group) was on the plane as well.

If that doesn't confirm political execution, I don't know what does.

Around 4k estimated on the march to Moscow by Russian bloggers.

British intelligence estimates 8k involved as a whole, includes forces not in the convoy.

Nothing like enough, Putin and co had evacuated. Briefly holding Moscow means nothing (and you probably can't even do that with 4k troops), Napoleon could tell you that.

Another one of his planes was traveling through the area before this one was shot down, I wonder if he was putting his name on other planes manifests to avoid this fate. That would be a big bazooper to Putin.

There's video of the plane falling, on twitter, or I guess X now. Looks like a shoot-down.
https://twitter.com/Liveuamap/status/1694389257777951116

A plane that explodes or breaks up in mid-air, still follows a mostly-ballistic trajectory, albeit as several pieces at once. This one popped and started dropping straight down, largely intact.

They can stop it by just going home. Putin wouldn't have employed them if he didn't need the manpower
