His plane has crashed and he's on the passenger list, but it's not proven yet that he was on the plane. He's the person, who faked his death in the past.

It seems like oddly coincidental timing that Russia also officially relieved Surovikin as head of the airforce today (he still hasn't been seen since the mutiny): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/23/russia-removes-sergei-surovikin-as-head-of-aerospace-forces

Not saying he's definitely dead, but I doubt this is him faking his own death so much as him slipping an assassination attempt if he's alive.

Ah yes. The general who the Kremlin said was "resting." Nothing ominous about that.

I heard it played out exactly like the opening scene from Dark Knight Rises, too.

There were 10 people on the plane (3 pilots, 7 passengers) but they only recovered 8 bodies...

THERE'S A CHANCE HE'S ALIVE!
