Supposed DNA tests supposedly confirm Prigozhin was on board'Genetic tests' confirm that Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was among 10 people killed in plane crash, Russian investigators sayhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/breaking_news/article-12450367/Genetic-tests-confirm-Wagner-chief-Yevgeny-Prigozhin-10-people-killed-plane-crash-Russian-investigators-say.html
In the footage, Prigozhin, 62, is seen wearing military fatigues in a car, and says: 'For those discussing whether or not I am alive.'How am I doing? It's the weekend, the second half of August [20]23. I am in Africa,' he says, speaking to camera. 'So fans of discussing my elimination, intimate life, earnings or whatever, as a matter of fact, everything is fine.'
Yet the video - if genuine - does not prove Prigozhin is alive.He is known to have been in Africa - where Wagner has interests and military operations - before returning to Moscow ahead of the air crash last week.

Another half billion to Ukraine, this time for "clean energy". Which Kamala Harris once told me is how you win in the battlespace. https://twitchy.com/brettt/2023/09/06/antony-blinken-announces-520-million-to-make-ukraines-energy-infrastructure-cleaner-n2386919
Clean energy infrastructure that the Russians will just blow to hell and gone at their first opportunity. It's a warzone.What a bunch of dumbasses in the Biden administration. I shouldn't be surprised, though. And The Big Guy will get his ten percent regardless.
The RAF plane - with a crew of up to 30 - was flying a surveillance mission over the Black Sea in international airspace on 29 September last year when it encountered two Russian SU-27 fighter jets.The intercepted communications show that one of the Russian pilots thought he had been given permission to target the British aircraft, following an ambiguous command from a Russian ground station.However, the second Russian pilot did not. He remonstrated and swore at his wingman when he fired the first missile.
As the two Russian SU-27s approached the RAF spy plane, they received a communication from their ground station controller.One Western source told the BBC the words they received were to the effect of "you have the target".This ambiguous language was interpreted by one of the Russian pilots as permission to fire.The loose language appears to have shown a high degree of unprofessionalism by those involved, sources said. In contrast, Nato pilots use very precise language when asking for and receiving permission to fire.The Russian pilot released an air-to-air missile, which successfully launched but failed to lock on to its target, the BBC has been told. It was a miss, not a malfunction.Defence sources have told the BBC that a row then broke out between the two Russian pilots.The pilot of the second SU-27 did not think they had been given permission to fire.He is said to have sworn at his comrade, effectively asking him what he thought he was doing.Yet the first pilot still released another missile.We had been told that the second missile simply fell from the wing - suggesting the weapon either malfunctioned or that the launch was aborted.
