A bomb is much, much more efficient than a missile. I’d be very surprised if a missile was used. Also, it would be unlikely for both him and Utzin to be on the same plane, for exactly this reason.
It’s going to be hard to unpack all these rumors for a few days unless we see a living Utzin or Prigozhin soon. A strong possible narrative here would be Utzin selling out his boss in exchange for amnesty, in which case it behooves him to disappear.
Edit: notice we don’t see a missile exhaust trail to the aircraft and a burst pattern for one in the start of the video. With the war on, there are plenty of videos showing a missile strike on an aircraft to compare to.
The smoke trail on the left at the start of the video was reported to be from the missile. There are a few photos that claim to show damage from an S-300 missile. However, I’ve heard rumors about a box of wine that was gifted to them before takeoff, and another about unusual plane maintenance.
I’ve updated the title to reflect the current level of uncertainty.

Okay with the last picture I’m upping my suspicion of a rocket a bit more.
You mean, like, Franzia?
The Wagner group confirmed the information
