Shocking photos and videos show one of Russia's Il-22M aircraft wrecked after it was shot down during Wagner's armed uprising over the weekend. The Russian military has only a limited supply of these in its arsenal.
The Ilyushin Il-22M aircraft — a valuable airborne command post operated by Russia's air force — was apparently shot down by Wagner Group forces during their revolt against Russian military leadership.

..."Videos show the moment the plane fell out of the sky and the aftermath of the crash.
OSINTdefender reported that all 10 crewmembers onboard were apparently killed in the crash. Their identities were released by Russian sources on Tuesday.
Along with the Il-22 aircraft, Wagner shot down six Russian helicopters, killing 13 pilots in total, according to Ukraine, as well as expert observers, like Michael Kofman, the director of Russia Studies at CNA.
In an 11-minute audio message posted on Telegram Monday, Prigozhin — whose uprising ended in a rocky truce agreement, said: "We regret that we had to hit air assets, but those assets were dropping bombs and launching missile strikes."
It's unclear how many Wagner soldiers, if any, died in the purported strikes."
