Feared in the sense that we don't know. All this new information is coming from Russian State Media. Which is the equivalent of being informed of climate change on Fox News.
Only thing I am seeing on this is that two of Wagner's private jets were in the air, and one crashed over St. Petersburg while taking off from Moscow.
The other jet that belongs to him turned around and landed in Moscow airport after losing contact with the first. Which is pretty strange.
It is assumed that The leader Prigozhin and his 2nd in command were supposedly on board. As Russia state media is claiming they are dead.
However, Russia State Media has been lying quite a bit though this war, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt.
As of now 7 10 bodies have been found.
However, just day's earlier, Prigozhin was seen in Africa as if "announcing their services" to a developing situation. So why did he suddenly end up in Moscow? The one place he knows he isn't safe?!
Edit:

Wagner's media is also claiming they both died.
I am SHOCKED. This is such weird timing. Shortly after staging a revolt against their fearless leader that made him look weak. I’m sure that is completely unrelated.
Yeah, it’s definitely suspicious how this plane crash happened just two months after the coup attempt. It seems like someone wanted to silence him for good. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more to this story than meets the eye.
“Christopher Steele - former head of the Russia desk at Britain’s foreign intelligence agency (MI6) - says it’s “inevitable” that this would be Prigozhin’s ending.”
“We were told some weeks ago, in fact, that there had been a contract taken out on Prigozhin inside Russia by senior people in the business community.”
That’s kind of concerning, since it seems to suggest that business leaders in Russia support Putin and weren’t aiming for a coup of their own, unless Prigozhin was somehow a threat to whatever coup they might be planning (if it was being planned at all). Granted, “senior people in the business community” are probably all Putin cronies anyways.
It was a private plane with a guy onboard that everyone in Russia knows is a dead man walking. Every person on that plane knew that being within 500m of the guy was a constant hazard.
I mean, that's great! But what happens to his army of degenerate war criminals? They just unite under some other scumbag? Hopefully, he was arrogant enough to leave behind no indication of what to do in an event like this, and they succumb to infighting. We can dream, I suppose.
They are all headed to Africa to cause more trouble and try and get their own little fiefdoms. At some point the US, EU or NATO is going to have to go in and fuck them up.
Wow. They shot it down, too, lol. The members of the air defense battery are suddenly going to get their notice to head to the front if they haven’t already.
Zero percent chance the Russian military shot down the plane of a guy who just rebelled against the state accidentally. The order had to come from the top.
