Ukraine uses a naval drone to take out a Russian ship in the Black Sea ! Good for them!

Blink

Never thought about there being such a thing as underwater drones before!

This thread seems to be going the way of current public interest and support for the conflict except for the Twitter regulars that sport Ukraine flags and belong to NAFO and call you a Vatnik if you’re not proclaiming Slava Ukraine.

Sweden's two biggest newspapers say he was on the passenger list. Do you have any reliable local source on if this is true or not?

Why else shoot down a business jet unless they thought he was on board?

Also Utkin aka "Wagner" was on a list of passengers. If it`s true, all heads of Wagner been taken out. Let`s wait and see.

Russian Telegram channels also saying he was on a plane. Let`s wait and see. I want to see reaction of Wagner commanders if it`s all true. Prighozin was given guaranties by Lukhashenko and Putin that he`s safe.

Who did not see this coming? (if it`s true). He was dead men walking after stunt he pulled.

I agree it was just a matter of time. I thought they might be more subtle than shooting his plane out of the sky though. lol

Question now is which option will Putin choose:

1. Blame Ukraine to ramp up the war effort

2. Clean up within own ranks

3. All of the above

He can`t blame Ukraine. Too many videos of airdefence rockets.

He already cleaned his own ranks, unless he will make some scapegoats.

 

Edit.

On a other hand- he can blame Ukraine. He controls all of media. All he needs is 60% of people to believe him. It`s easily doable.

LMFAO. Russia state agency opened criminal case  over the crime of violating the safety rules of air transport movement and operation.

If I were Prigozhin, I’d want to officially be killed in a plane that had me on the passenger list also…….

Definitely makes one wonder why he would be so open about traveling in the skies above Russia. I’d think that he’d be traveling in complete anonymity forever, because of possibilities like this.

The old fall from a window of a tall building just never came together so Putin finally said F it.
