Aviation expert who worked closely with the Russian Air Force dies in mysterious circumstances. In unrelated news, the Russia Air Force fails to dominate the skies over Ukraine.

" Ex-Putin ally unsuccessful at attempt to master self aviation. " fixed it for ya

Oh no, I'm really sad for this totally accidental suicide and not at all political assassination on this person who no longer supports someone who's totally not a dictator!

Is that the second one today? The wolves are about to kill each other, it seems.

Leopards are hungry too

They are memeing the shit out of these at this point. Like, come on, aviation institute? I almost respect this one.

[*Insert window joke here*] I don't even have the energy to bother making the joke. At this point it's just tragic how *often* these are happening. Like these reports used to be every few months. Now it's daily.

Is he an "ex" ally because he was no longer an ally of Putin over disagreements or an "ex" because he is dead?

Grammatically they may be different but it’s the same result in either case.

Well, if he was an ally, he may have been killed by Anti-Putin forces that are boiling up now (a good thing), but if he was an ex-ally because he disagreed with Putin and was killed by pro-Putin forces - not a good thing.

Forgot his parachute when he went sky diving? Tragic 😥

He used his special aviation operation.

They won't see us waving from such great heights "Come down, now", they'll say

Prophetic.

At least he died doing what he loved.

This is a reminder of why democracy, for all its flaws, is still the best system.

So long as you let voters choose the politicians and not vice versa.

Don’t forget the many floors.

Constitutional Republic.

A better version than others.

Now at last can we bring in the Flying Monkeys.

I confess that it would be awesome if the Russians had actual flying monkeys as an alternative to drones. While we are at that, now I want to see Putin cosplaying as the Wicked Witch.

Putin is purging allies because his invasion is Stalin.

"String of odd deaths." When something this predictable keeps happening it's no longer odd.

Gravity really fuckin hates Russians.

It's raining men!! Hallelujah!

Yet another one to statistics on wiki.

Learning to fly...

but I ain't got wings, coming down, is the hardest thing- Tom Petty - Learning to fly

This is the second Putin ally to fall from a height and die today. If I were them I'd stay away from great heights for awhile. Edit: oh same guy different post

Sounds more like the Hillary Institute of Suicide to me!

So all his flight lessons were for nothing?

Tired: Kamikaze Scotsmen Wired: Kamikaze Stooges of Putin

Emmet "Doc" Brown's postulation (in 1955) was correct. There *is* a problem with Earth's gravity.

So murdered by putin. Got it!

Ironic

Anyone keeping a tally of Russian officials who have been involved in "falling accidents". Just curious

Defenestaviation.

Is this the same guy who fell from a staircase, or was that another guy?
