Yep! Sadly, the perpetrator of this very brief incursion wasn't someone like Putin's jailed political opponent, Navalny, who really should never have returned to Russia after his life-saving medical treatment in Germany a few years ago after the Russian govt's attempt to murder/poison him. It looks like the only way to remove Putin is by some form of violent internal conflict following the indication he is not as all-powerful as assumed by many in Russia.

Well it makes a change from, er, jumping(?) from a 10th floor bathroom window. Some of the footage on the BBC (and the link) appears to show the plane in flames/out of control before it crashed.
No more an accident than his recent "challenge" to Putin either. That it took out several other people, including the pilot(s) shows Putin in his real colours.
