There were many senior leaders on the flight: Prigozhin, Utkin (early founder, commander), Chekalov (economic & security leader), Makaryan, Propustin, Totmin, Matuseev (all various commanders). While this seems super dumb to have all these folks on the same flight at the same time, apparently they were. With this much senior leadership now suddenly gone, the Wagner group may be struggling to get their own house in order before they can take organizational action.

It was confirmed by russian side. No external expertize possible in this case. With information given, nothing sticks. Nor the simpliest version, nor the craziest one, because they all rise doubts one way or another.
