 Putin's order to shoot down Prigoshin's plane is public attempt to reassert Dominant's ISW. Russian President Vladimir Putin's order for the Russian Ministry of Defense to shoot down a plane of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigoshin is likely a public attempt to exact vengeance for the humiliation that the Wagner Group's armed rebellion on June the 24th caused Putin and the Russian Ministry of Defense. The Institute for the Study of War ISW said this in its latest report. Putin's almost certain order for the Russian Ministry of Defense to shoot down Prigoshin's plane is likely a public attempt to reassert his dominance and exact vengeance for the humiliation that the Wagner Group's armed rebellion on June the 24th caused Putin and the Russian Ministry of Defense. The ISW said it is noted that Putin notably attended a publicly televised concert in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Kursk around the time that Russian air defenses downed Prigoshin's plane. Putin's attendance at the televised concert echoed the memory of Soviet state television showing Swan Lake on television in August 1999 as the Soviet Union collapsed, experts added. Russian sources noted that it has been exactly two months since the beginning of Wagner's armed rebellion during which Wagner forces shot down several Russian helicopters and killed at least 13 Russian servicemen. The decision to have Russian air defenses be the method of Prigoshin's assassination allowed the Russian MOD to directly avenge what was one of the deadliest days for the Russian aviation since the start of the full-scale invasion. Putin had suffered significant humiliation for failing to stop Wagner's rebellion relying on Lukashenko to stop Prigoshin's march and failing to punish Wagner's servicemen who were responsible for shooting down the Russian aircraft on June 24th, the ISW said.
