I think he wussed out when he had his chance and then was done for, no matter what.
The story I heard( and it isn’t super convincing) was that it was an unsecured grenade, basically the Wagner guys play things fairly fast and loose and like to play with equipment, this lead to a grenade either in storage or the subject of a game of ‘catch’ blew up the plane mid flight.
Very convenient timing given he’d led the world’s least successful coup against the rival oligarchs of Russia. The Wagner people didn’t like him as a leader so it could have been an internal thing, there was a lot of chatter about ‘getting rid of the cook’ which had been a derogative way to refer to Prigozhin.
He wanted Shoigu to be arrested (and probably wanted to replace him), and when his guys failed to quickly find Shoigu in Moscow and it became clear that Putin and the state did not support him, he thought his best option was to back off and give up. Big dummy moves all around.
He died.
he got secret serviced
He got baited into an attempted coup, he didn’t secure his family well enough, and then by taking the buyout he abandoned his men. He made A LOT of miscalculations.
