Two more Russian commanders have been killed on the frontline in Ukraine after a top general was shot dead by snipers, a Western official has claimed.
Major General Andrey Sukhovetsky, 47, was reportedly killed by a Ukrainian sniper while the latest deaths, since Russia invaded last week, were also both senior officers.
One was a divisional commander and the other was a regimental commander, the Telegraph has reported.

“Aim small, miss small.”
Given that (IMHO) Russian military tactics really rely deeply on the leadership to make things happen, is it possible that the Uke snipers know this, believing that no one at a lower rank will take charge of a battle?
Give the Russian’s a taste of their own medicine.

What insignia or decoration do the Russians have on their uniforms that would make them easy to pick out of a crowd?
It’s quite unfortunate that it has come to this. But here we are. The Russians are monsters. If they suffer tremendous casualties, then they’ll have no choice but to call for cease fire.
You can identify and get the location of an individual on a battlefield by using technology that homes in on radio signals. The Russian senior officers are likely revealing themselves by constant chatter on radio networks giving orders. It’s the way the Israelis almost killed Solimini when he was directing a firefight in Syria. Surprised the Russians are taking this risk. Some admiration that their senior people lead from the front.

Good!
A good sniper can tell a lot from deference other troops give, their body language.
Sounds like a tough day if you wear silver or gold on your collar.

Where are they going to hide? They are all just big fat targets.
They should turn their vehicles around and hi-tail it back
home, where they belong.

Pops won’t say much, but there will be half a smile...
Are we getting into the snipers everywhere narrative now?
Cause the last three dozen ones turn out false or highly exaggerated???
Like Lieutenant Dan said, "Don't salute me! There's snipers everywhere out here who'd love to pick off an officer."
Beat me by almost 3 minutes.
Wow, that's amazing. How many snipers shot him?
yup, independent thinking is not encouraged
Needs more Simo Häyhä, just in Ukrainian.
