What a crazy event to watch live as it was playing out. Seems like it was a real game changer. Then a post came out that they just turned around. It was a crazy moment watching the videos of them getting closer
Now of my Favourite Clip.
Those we’re crazy days, I was routing for Prigozhin to go all the way
The good ol days when footages like these were shocking to watch.

It’s funny that no one outside here or NCD really brings this up. If Blackwater made a run on DC during GWOT you would never hear the end of it.
There was so much potential during that weekend
Oh what a day what a lovely day!!

What the hell were these crazy bastards thinking. Going back to the Russian government and thinking it was all gonna be forgiven was crazy. But made for one of the most interesting days in recent history.
Good fucking times
i hope we find out one day why prigozhin thought he was safe after these events.
It just goes to show, not a great idea to build up capabilities to have a powerful paramilitary force that is capable of challenging the state, if you’re the state.
They should have been limited to small arms, fire teams, and APCs at best, and never allowed to congregate enough within Russian territory, or placed under the command of someone who could go rouge.
It was fun for sure, but Senor Sledgehammer running things might as well be Stalin.
His wingman must’ve been shook
He should have moved on. He was dead already. It would have caused unbelievable chaos and maybe a chance for others to overthrow Putin. It would at least have made him look very weak. It was just amazing the Russian couldn’t put up a solid defense much sooner. Although 10 fighter aircraft probably would have made short work of such a convoy.
If he had acted a bit smarter, pulling his troops closer to Moscow under pretense of rotating them there (which was a real thing actually), he would have stand a chance rushing in the last 50-80 miles or so. That would have caused mass panic and once in Moscow the planes wouldn’t matter that much anymore.
Or his forces chickened out
It’s hard to tell which was more of a shock: that Prigozhin rallied his troops to revolt against Putin’s MoD, or that Prigozhin stood down and expected that Putin would allow him to live.
What are the bits shooting off of the Ka-52?
At 10s, right as the cameraman pans back to it, we see two things go shooting off to either side. These almost look like misfiring rockets.
Then at 13s we see more bits flying off. These look like blades. (as part of the ejection sequence)
If those were the blades, what was going on at 10s?
And now Ukranians are bombing the same city with cruise missiles…
Gozhin my boy! Why did you have to chicken out? I miss that dude. We have been deprived of so many new memes.
The only casualties in this coup attempt were unfortunately the 2 pilots doing their job.
The fucker had it all and then he a snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory by giving up right as the Russian gov was fleeing moscow. One of the dumbest things in russian history
