The Ruskies gave him 2 billion dollars to pay his army.

Daft bugger should have bought a desert island and saved some troops to defend him.

I reckon he was flying home in order to stand precariously close to an open window in a high-rise building.

Place your bets.

1. He was on the plane.
2. He wasn't on the plane.
3. There were no high ranking Wagner people on it.

I'd be a bit surprised if he was dim enough to load up a plane with him and other top Wagner boys and fly across Russia. Even an outfit like BP won't let too many execs get on one civilian flight.

Coincidentally the Bellingcat Russian expert said, in the FT a couple of weeks ago, that either Prigozhin or Putin would be 'out of action' within the calendar year.
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.

It's a funny old world where Prigozhin is considered a celebrity. :D

He’s been in the news a bit more than Cliff Richard and Ginger Spice.

According to the reports, there were two planes. Decoy and 'real'?

If so, a bit of insider trading within Wagner or the airport to know which one to take down.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

In truth, when even companies like BP disallow more than one upper management per plane, I really can't see why Wagner would put their two top guys (or even one) on a plane over Russian controlled air space...
