putin got him, 100%. both wagner and ru mod have reported that priggo is dead, and you don’t just randomly fire a SAM at a civilian jet
look at what happened to any other nationalist critic of kremlin: tatarsky is dead, girkin is in prison, surovikin is under “house arrest”, now prigozhin and utkin are also dead, and some others, like rybar, were told to toe the line or else and they complied
this one was 100% intentional. these two other were also intentional, just misguided, it takes several steps to fire a SAM, it does not happen through an accident (bar missile defence, but there are few civilian planes with size of missile, travelling at the speed of missile)
