    I’m assuming Prigozhin got arrogant and thought Putin wouldn’t touch him. And Putin decided that the proximity warhead on an S-200 missile blowing an aircraft apart wasn’t technically “touching”.

      Intelligence has confirmed it wasn’t a missile strike, from my understanding. Seems like an engine exploded, probably tampering.

        I’ll admit, I’ve not been following the story closely. So, I’ll take your word on the lack of a missile. But ya, I’d still bet on this being Putin eliminating an enemy in some way.
