I'm not saying that Putin is aboard the plane, but I don't think that Wagner has any substantial air-to-air capability. I know that they operated some ground attack planes in Ukraine earlier, but AFAIK, that's it. So there probably is limited risk to Putin in that information going out.

EDIT: Apparently it turned off its transponder later while in flight.
