Apparently India's missile failed to detonate.

Apparently a high tech Russian helicopter decided to land at a ukrainian air field - the pilots wanted out and earned some cash from the delivery.

The Ukrainians could just have gotten lucky and hit a plane being prepped for a mission, though.

Apparently 'British Military Intelligence' have confirmed it as a real.

Prigozhin's private jet was apparently shot down by Russian air defense in Tver. Chatter is Priggy was on board. Grain of salt and all that. :hmm:

Cnn is reporting that Prigozhin's plane went down.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Should have gone into Moscow when he had the chance.

Who among us, from time to time, has not been minded to kill the caterer?

Find it mad that he was still flying in Russia.
Let's bomb Russia!

Stolen from the internet:

QuoteOne of the Russian Ambassadors comes to President Putin and nervously tells him he'd like to resign.

"Why?" Putin asks him

"Ah, Mr. President, I can't find myself with these time differences! I fly to another city, call home and everyone is asleep, I last woke you up at 4 in the morning, but I thought it was only evening, I call Angela Merkel to congratulate her on her birthday and she tells me she had it yesterday, I wish the Chinese President a happy New Year, and he says it will be tomorrow."

"Well, these are just minor inconveniences!" says Putin.

"You know Prizhozins plane? I called the media to express my condolences, but the plane hadn't taken off yet.

If he really were on that plane, then I'm just even more dumfounded as to why he felt safe being in Russia.  I know Russia can get you anywhere, but surely it's a whole lot easier and foolproof to get you in Russia.  If he weren't on the plane, though, then it has to be an all out war between him and Putin now.

Even if he wasn't on the plane what could he do now?

I guess the next hotdog vendor turned coup instigator won't stop before he reaches Moscow.
