A plane crash in Russia has raised questions as to how the disaster occurred, especially since Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of a mercenary group known for its brutal methods and victories in the Ukraine war, was reportedly on board. The private Embraer jet carrying seven passengers and three crew members crashed northwest of Moscow while en route to St. Petersburg. The plane suddenly stopped transmitting tracking details after reaching an altitude of 28,000 feet. The bodies of eight people have been found at the crash site, and Russian state media reported that the plane “burned up” on impact. Officials are still investigating the cause of the crash, with possibilities including an on-board explosive device or being hit by a missile. It is believed that the downing of the plane may have been deliberate, with the goal being to kill Prigozhin. While US officials caution against drawing conclusions, evidence linking Prigozhin to the crash includes his presence on the passenger list and the similarity between the registration number on the plane engine debris and Prigozhin’s own registered plane. Prigozhin’s attempted mutiny against Russia’s military leadership two months ago may have made him a target, with experts speculating that he was a dead man walking.
