Wagner PMC CO, high command wiped out
With a single stroke, Russian air defenses seem to have wiped out the entire Wagner PMC high command by shooting down a business jet.
General Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder, financier and commander of Wagner PMC (Private Military Company), has perished with his full high command.
Wagner PMC command taken out?
General Prigozhin was one of nine persons aboard an Embraer business jet that crashed into Tver, north of Moscow. According to the BBC Tsarizm, Newsweek, and The Gateway Pundit, Russian air defenses shot the aircraft down.
Dmitriy Utkin, co-founder of Wagner PMC, is also on the passenger manifest and, therefore, presumed dead.
A second plane belonging to Wagner PMC was en route from St. Petersburg to Moscow. Apparently they ceased transmissions and started flying an erratic course.
Subsequent reports indicated that second plane landed safely.
Prigozhin and his high command apparently were actively recruiting in Africa, particularly in Niger and other countries allied with it. A military coup ousted a pro-World Economic Forum government in Niger. Prigozhin joked that Victoria Nuland, Undersecretary of State, had furnished him with paying customers.
The Telegram channel Intel Slava Z now reports recovery of the bodies of Prigozhin and Utkin from the wreckage. They previously reported the recovery of seven bodies. The Embraer jet carried seven passengers and a crew of three.
Vladimir Rogov, chief administrator of the Zaporozhye region, had a statement confirming the deaths of Prigozhin and Utkin. Then Intel Slava Z carried video from Vladimir Putin himself, referring back to the “June 24th event.”
The mutiny
Wagner PMC, which took part in the siege of Bakhmut in Ukraine, made a mutiny and literally marched on Moscow. But before reaching the capital, they stopped. Prigozhin was supposed to accept exile in Belarus, but that transaction never happened.
Intel Slava Z seems to be quoting Putin as saying that he had said then that all who took part in the mutiny would “suffer inevitable punishment.” “The Russian Armed Forces received the necessary order,” they quote Putin as saying.
Jack Posobiec shared a single collage of six faces, which he captioned as “photo of all passengers on the plane.”
He then shared a link to his podcast channel, and to an episode covering speculation that Vladimir Putin ordered the death of Prigozhin and the decapitation of the Wagner PMC high command.
