Defected Russian Chopper Pilot Found Dead in Spain
Maksim Kuzminov, the Russian pilot who defected to Ukraine last year, has been found dead in Spain, months after his dramatic escape. Kuzminov had tricked his crew members into flying the military helicopter across the border and had been living in Spain. Reports suggest he was found shot after inviting his ex to his place, and his killers were seen fleeing the scene of his burned-out car. The incident has sparked speculation about Russian involvement and a standing order to assassinate the pilot.
