"Andrei, you lost another General?"

Russia has lost another of its generals in the war in Ukraine, Kyiv has said, along with seven members of an elite force under Vladimir Putin's direct command as Ukraine inflicts punishing losses on Moscow's war machine.
Major-General Oleg Mityaev, 47, commander of the army's 150th motorised rifle division, died fighting around the besieged city of Mariupol, Ukraine's interior ministry said late Tuesday as officials released a photo of what they claimed was his corpse on the battlefield.
It marks the fourth Russian general that Ukraine claims to have taken out and the 13th officer overall, as Putin's invading forces suffer heavy losses at the hands of dogged Ukrainian defenders.
Seven elite SWAT fighters from the feared Dzerzhinsky Division of Russia's national guard were also revealed to have died in the fighting.
A mourning picture was released in Russia showing the photographs of six elite 'maroon beret' special forces fighters from the Vityaz Special Purpose Centre of the Dzerzhinsky Division, named after Soviet secret police founder Felix Dzerzhinsky. It was later revealed that a seventh had been slain.

Blunders early on in the campaign including poor planning and logistics that saw vehicles stall due to breakdowns, run out of fuel and get bogged down in mud are thought to be behind the eye-watering officer death toll - as commanders were forced to the front to fix the problems before being picked off by Ukrainians.

Not enough.
Let’s have some more.
I guess if the Ukrainians are crushing the Russians so bad they won’t need any more no-fly zone, weapons or billions of dollars. Maybe we could even put our troops on our border.
Nice Javelin war porn
Go way....... The reliance on covid means you are not capable intellectually
So you’re saying that those are NOT Russian T-80s stuck in the mud and abandoned?
Every dead Russian soldier makes me sleep easier.
Yeah, he’s winning the war, Comrade.
Has Kyiv fallen yet?
I hope the Ukrainians are beating the crap out of Russia....
Not according to the same Daily Mail, which is constantly claiming the Russians are slaughtering the Ukrainians including civilians.
So which is it?
You know that COVID is really over when nobody is reporting how many deaths, hospitalizations, or new breakthrough cases have been reported in Ukraine in the last month.
I sleep the same whether Russian soldiers die or not
I’m wondering if Putin assumes that any generals who get picked off probably deserved it.

Funny, your posts make it sound like you have a “Red Star” night light.
I monitor “Speak the Truth” and “the enforcer” blogs, doubt very much they are part of the lying MSM.
Yes. Every Russian death is a victory for freedom!
Shame on those rooting for the war criminals.
I don’t see the picture.
"Andrei, you lost another General?"
Losses of Generals is very newsworthy.
Aug 2014-Maj Gen Harold Greene, killed by an Afghan soldier in an insider attack, follows a long line of US generals killed in war. And their deaths say much about the changing nature of warfare.
Gen Greene is not only the highest ranking US military official to have been killed since the start of the war in Afghanistan, his death also marks the first time in more than 40 years that a general has been killed in combat.
