The End of Wagner Group

Well, Prigozhin has met his end. Putin has finally decided to take the gloves off and remove his enemies publicly and without scruples. He also got Utkin as well which is the first piece of legitimate Denazification he's done, about time if I'm honest.

Ok. So I’m gonna pin this comment to explain why I’m so sure this was a shoot down via missile. Now to be clear it could be an Air to Air or Surface to Air missile, but given we haven’t seen any VKS air activity near Moscow my bet is still firmly on a SAM. So, why don’t I think it’s a bomb? First, the cabin is intact. When you see the aircraft falling the fuselage is completely intact, there is no breakup of the aircraft nor do we see any gaping holes. If the bomb was mounted in the cabin or in the baggage hold at the aft of the airframe. We would see signs of explosive decompression, however we don’t see any. The aircraft fuselage along with the cabin remained pressurised and in one piece until impact. Second. The damage to the vertical stabiliser. If you look at the tail of the aircraft, it was sheared almost completely off like someone went at it with an axe. There would be no way to mount a bomb on that flight surface without anyone noticing it, either visually or the pilot noticing an irregularity with the flight controls. Furthermore the damage to the vertical stabiliser shows evidence of shearing and fragmentation damage as shown in the video. Third. The fragmentation damage, in several photos of the wreck you see clear signs of shrapnel holes in the aircraft. Now this can happen in an explosive decompression or in a crash. If it wasn’t for the fact that the splaying of the metal was on the interior surface. Ergo the shrapnel came from outside. If the bomb was in the baggage hold it would have blown the entire rear of the aircraft off. If not split it in half. Again. I’m 90% sure on this. But good luck proving it.

[@bluntslt8023]

Hmm let me read this first!! Interesting it does make sense i do believe it was shot down too just because of how high profile pregozin was

[@guywholikesplanes]

Only other possibility worth considering would be an uncontained engine failure. Those CAN send shrapnel outward, but from my limited experience that's usually blades from the engine, and those would leave a much larger hole. The reported lack of maintenance could cause such a failure, but the detachment of aircraft surfaces doesn't track with this, especially the entire wing. From the video where we can see the plane flat spinning to the ground, missing a wing, we can rule out in-flight breakup, since those, in my experience, happen during a nose dive. The video doesn't really match with any accident I've ever read/seen about. And, since the erj145 seems to have hydraulic fuses, the white fluid mist around the aircraft is most probably fuel.

[@braydoxastora5584]

Fuck, that opening lol

[@nicolasrose3064]

Russians are a people who are completely accustomed to being told how to think about, what they are told to think, it has been reinforced in their psyche through brutalism, to our Western sensibilities Putin's methods are deplorable, for a Russian it is representative of the ideals instilled in the national mindset. Russians must be the only people on the Planet that think being treated like shit is some kind of badge of honour, the more bullshit they buy into, the more they are convinced that everything is, as it should be.

[@gchampi2]

@@guywholikesplanes The effect of losing the horizontal stabilizer would be an immediate & rapid uncontrolled nose-up maneuver, putting the aircraft at nearly 90 degrees to the airflow. The aerodynamic loading from this would massively overload the wing spar, causing the loss of the wing & opening the fuel system to atmosphere. Gravity does the rest. As for the bomb-on-board theory, that doesn't fit the evidence. If a bomb was in the pressure cabin, it would've caused a comprehensive disintegration of the airframe, with parts of the plane spread over a wide area (see the Lockerbie bombing for reference). If there was a bomb placed somewhere within the tail (outside the pressure cabin), the engines would've been removed from the airframe along with the vertical stabilizer, and there would most likely have been a fuel fire visible from the tail of the falling craft. As there was no fire until impact, and the engines were visible in the wreckage footage, that pretty much rules out any bomb on board. Given all that, a missile strike is the only plausible conclusion. As there were no reports of military jets in the area, a SAM strike is the most likely cause.

[@WoobooRidesAgain]

@@inquisitionagent9052 To be honest, I don't think even Clancy could have predicted this. If this were a Clancy book, Ukraine would have been steamrolled, and Western Europe would have been facing a Russian military that gets annihilated by the latest and greatest of high tech American firepower, saving the day after some Rommel myth Russian commander, who stands out from the nefarious and incompetent leadership either dies or betrays the bad guys. The real Russia is barely holding on to a fifth of a nation that it should by all rights totally eclipse militarily, losing to a force utilizing weapons and technology that at its latest is of the PS3 era, whose leadership is back to front incompetent and whose best soldiers are mostly contained in a group of hired thugs who somehow botched the biggest armored push to Moscow since Barbarossa, led by a man who is such a genius he thought he'd be okay with the notoriously defenestration-prone Putin after trying to pull that stunt because he was about to get fired.

Treat who you keep. Else, you may one day end up taking a forever sleep.

[@KasumiRINA]

Pilot was mocking Ukrainians when russia bombed us. He was literally asking for it.

[@julianbrelsford]

Putin looks incredibly uncomfortable while talking about the deaths of the Wagner leadership, but I also think he looks that way in all his recent speeches. Seems like he's under an incredible amount of stress and not handling it all that well

[@creed2466]

Nah, he’s just incredibly constapated

[@zephyr8072]

Of course his body doubles are stressed.

[@marocat4749]

He should be way mpre vague or uderlining allhispeche withthiny veiled threats if thats what he chose to,not sent mixed messages tohis own people, but eh, let him make mitakes. also he kinda should have asasinated progici fast if.

[@thegrayyernaut]

@@marocat4749 Did you type all that in code form in fear of being read by the FSB or something?

[@joseaca1010]

the last two things to go through Pringles head were: - "damn you shoiguuuu!" - shrapnel in that order

[@Strettger]

Code Wagner : Pringles of the (failed) rebellion

[@CoffeeSuccubus]

I just imagine when the plane got hit, that is EXACTLY what Prigozhin said in his final words. "SHOIIIIGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!"

[@kubaxwot4629]

The new episode of even rounder table is gonna be funny

[@julianbrelsford]

Videos just came out regarding a likely prison sentence for Trevor Jacob, the guy who said he "always" takes his parachute with him when flying on (civilian) aircraft. Maybe Prigozhin should have listened to Trevor Jacob

[@NarfoOnTheNet]

The funniest thing: this is the most de-nazification Putin's done this entire war.

[@newname4785]

Ani: "...death of all 10 souls on board." Ani, ani, hang on ani. 8 souls MAX.

[@michaeledmunds7056]

7 Wagner staff, three crew

[@simonteesdale9752]

​@@michaeledmunds7056Yeah, but what are the odds that Utkin still had his soul?

[@michaeledmunds7056]

Prigo: "Where is the fucking ammo??" Putin: "It's being delivered to your plane as we speak, comrade."

[@diapason89]

Hard to feel sorry for the guy responsible for so many atrocities, not least of which is wiping Bakhmut off the map.

[@abrandenburg10]

RIP to our best source of memes

[@twentyninerooks]

Am I the only one that loves the fact that he put The Hunt for Red October text sound effect in at the beginning? You know, that movie where Sean Connery breaks the neck of a KGB Political Officer named Putin? seriously, watch it again, it's a great movie.

[@JustAnNPC69]

As he’s falling I bet he’s regretting not going all in with the rebellion 😂😂😂😂

[@GreatGray8790]

This whole Wagner affair should be a movie and or hell even an opera. The Death of Stalin meets Boris Gudonov meets Wallenstein. A dark comedy of course. A tenor in one Prigos disguises belting out SHOIGU! SHOIGU! on stage as part of the main song ...part of money raised going to Ukraine of course.

[@EinFelsbrocken]

So a... "Wagner Opera"? 🥁

[@alanwestmoreland6152]

Utkin wanted so much to be like the Aryan brothers of old so much; now he's truly with them *in the dirt*

[@Hi-uk1cu]

He finally got his ammunition

[@CyberData4]

So long and thanks for all the memes!

[@TheEDFLegacy]

Never thought I'd be sad about the passing of a nazi, but here we are. Hopefully someone else will be able to organise the overthrow of Putin. Though, to be fair, Prigozhin taking over would have been disastrous long-term, even if it ended the war.

[@justaguy723]

Don't be. He died as he lived, greedy, shortsighted, and afraid.

[@JasperKlijndijk]

Sadly we lost 7 of the top 1000 war criminals in the world

[@peka2478]

if he took Moscow, he would not be able to hold it as firmly as Putin, first because he'd be new and not already decades in the power-grabbing game, and second because he doesnt seem to be the organizing type. It'd be better for us than Putin, for some years at least... (and we'd come up with something before he could become a full-on dictator im sure)

[@eigintasbaranauskas7519]

Wagner aren't heroes, they're usefull idiots. They don't want democracy, they want victory. It's the democratic opposition that should be leading the charge against Putin, not them!

[@SamBrickell]

It is immensely childish to call everyone you dislike a "nazi". It just shows that you are either brainwashed or else have to use tricks to simplify your understanding of the World.

[@bolobalaman]

Haha that opening is gold. His warcrime legacy, his notorious fame of being brutal will not be remembered. Instead what they remember will be the forever echoing sound of desperation for ammo. Also his pose that gave us the greatest soyboy pointing meme ever.

[@AtholAnderson]

And that's the best way to deal with the 'legacy' of shit stains like that; remember the terrible they did, but treat them not as monsters, but as jokes to be mocked

[@Proriya]

I honestly only knew about Pringle Man's death, but this video cleared a lot of stuff for me. Thank you Australian shepherd.

[@troystaunton254]

The only part of this that surprises me is that Putin didn’t put an obituary in the paper the day before. “I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing Prigozhin, who died in an unpreventable plane crash tomorrow after being shot down.”

[@troystaunton254]

I feel bad for the investigators. Can only imagine the bizarre types of self deletion they will attempt in the coming months.

[@gchampi2]

Nah. The FSB have taken over the investigation. They'll blame a structural failure due to replacement parts not being available because of western sanctions (conveniently forgetting that Embraer are Brazilian, which is the B in BRICS).

[@rantsinarobe4099]

First off there were 3 crew members just trying to make a living who died you ghouls. Secondly Zelensky is a bigger murderer and scumbag than Prigozhin ever could wish to be - I am not a fan of Ukraine, NATO or my own nation at the moment. Keep it to yourselves morons.

[@total_epicness6776]

What do you mean? They are smart investigators who have already prepared the report the day before the crash.

[@Deltaguy447]

Rip in pierogi Pringles man.

[@him_That_is_me]

The fucking CIA: *Years of careful planning. Looks like natural causes. Not even clear if it was them* FSB: hey shit@ss Is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[@anthonyniemiec9409]

New record for the highest window Putin has pushed someone out of

[@cann54]

I've been watching your vids on and off for a while now, but that opening sealed the deal. +1 sub

[@davydovua]

Just a note. Two "detonation" sounds means there was likely *one* surface-to-air missile, the first "bang" being the sonic boom the missile made travelling at supersonic speeds, and the second the actual warhead detonation. I'm talking from experience since I've heard an innumerable lot of those here in Kyiv, S-300s are large and fast enough to make very audible "bangs" even from quite far away.

[@emperor-thesenate-palpatin5954]

Shoigu and Gerasimov finally sent him his ammo.

[@Zarastro54]

Kita kita! I’ve been waiting for this!

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

Loved the video, which explained a lot of what I was wondering. The meme ending was *Chef Kiss* levels of perfection! You've got a new sub.

[@evilemuempire9550]

Prigozin forgot to press space to slow down

[@anotherbacklog]

The guy will wake up from his coma 9 years later in a Cyprus hospital, then build a new PMC and eventually the military nation. Kojima’s prophecy is yet to be fulfilled. How Big Boss started started as friend to Major Zero, how cipher turned big boss into an icon, the two had fallout and become enemies, were so similar to what happened in real life. Although I will say Prigozhin’s role is more like Kaz and Ultkin is more similar to big boss, so Kojima’s story is slightly off.

[@jloiben12]

That meme you opened with slaps and will continue to do so for a long time

[@jfmccrosson]

Thanks!

[@pechudin9086]

The comic relief character got killed off. Was a bastard, but low key will miss him.

"So, Putin, what's the next step in your masterplan?" "Crashing this plane; with no survivors!" "They expect Wagner Rus in the wreckage, brother."

[@GodlikeIridium]

Great video. I think you're completely right. And damn... Those memes in the end 😂

[@TheEnclave_1]

waitting for it to start

[@willbygosh4887]

He should have never trusted Lukashenko!

[@twistedyogert]

The only people I feel bad for is the pilots and the flight attendant. As for Pringles and N*zi man, I hope they lived long enough to contemplate what was happening although considering the damage to the cabin they were probably unconscious within seconds or were hit by shrapnel and were dead instantly.

[@pilotactor777]

Brilliant work!!!!

[@TooLateForIeago]

I was a pilot who used to do VIP transit. I felt awful for the flight crew. They didn’t deserve to die with those criminals.

[@Justinbyleth]

There’s something to be said about Prigozhin going from Mr Russia Strongman to just another dead sucker but I’m not the one to say it lol

[@jonmcgee6987]

That's 2nd time this week. That the start up of a meme was lost to the world. The first and most loved being the dog Cheems. Prigozhin even called Dolphy in his bunker yelling about getting his ammo. He finally got his ammo. Just not the way he wanted it delivered.

[@konsyjes]

of course, the classic anime villain scream . You set up the sound envelope just perfect

[@jayphailey]

Best analysis video yet. I enjoyed the memes at the end

[@AmongRevenants]

Should of reinvested in catering, with a fleet of food trucks, and his feet firmly planted on ground. The higher you get, the greater the fall.

[@Saddleback117]

Doesn't count. VAR shows that pregozhin never fell through the window, previous record still stands.

[@cynthiaherbst3909]

I see what you did there lol

[@Maplelust]

love that ending. great video!

[@lateshiftsailor]

01:28, the man in the center backround: definitely the eyes of an armed bodyguard deciding in a split second whether or not the person taking the photo needs to be dealt with force or not; he is clearly thinking if he needs to pull his gun or not.

[@quigglebert]

Maybe not pull a gun, just a 'stern talking to'

[@DamonRunyon-pu2du]

Wonder how that Sledhammer feels now? And my prayers go out to the Aircraft fatally injured in this incident

[@Nostripe361]

Watching this just after finding out someone on another video said I was wrong about the Russians suffering crushing defeats during this war. I mean this is technically a victory for their air defense.

[@zonQe]

YES, I;ve been waiting for nafo statement :D

[@NightDocs]

Bro that outro song is an absolute BANGER
