ANOTHER top Russian commander killed: Elite paratroop colonel and his deputy are 'liquidated' by Ukrainians as death toll in Putin's army hits 7,000

One of Russia's top paratroop commanders has been killed in Ukraine in the latest blow to Vladimir Putin's debilitating war effort.

The death of Col Sergei Sukharev, of the 331st Guards Parachute Assault Regiment from Kostroma, was confirmed by state TV in Moscow.

Earlier his 'liquidation' had been claimed by Ukraine's Centre for Strategic Communication and Information Security.

'Commander of the Kostroma Airborne Regiment, Colonel Sergei Sukharev… got lost in the "[military] exercises", but returned home the right way,' said the Ukrainian statement.

His deputy Major Sergei Krylov was killed alongside him, said the report.

They were among a number slain from the 'glorious' Kostroma regiment, seen as among Russia's most elite fighting forces.

Russia acknowledged that senior sergeant Sergei Lebedev, sergeant Alexander Limonov and corporal Yuri Degtyaryov were also killed.

Sukharev was seen on Russian TV in January when he led his troops back from Kazakhstan where they had been sent following a wave of protests.

Obviously, a loss for the Russians but one way to look at all these senior officers being killed is that they were leading from the front. It all depends on the exact circumstances, of course, which none of us knows.

If that 7000 number is correct, that’s brutal. By contrast, we lost around 2400 in 20 YEARS in Afghanistan.

“Sukharev was seen on Russian TV in January when he led his troops back from Kazakhstan where they had been sent following a wave of protests.”

So the newest member of the worm food club was killing protesters in Kazakhstan.

“He also announced that he had ordered troops to use deadly force against protesters, authorizing instructions to “shoot to kill” without warning at anyone demonstrating, calling protesters “bandits and terrorists” and saying that the use of force would continue to “destroy the protests”.”

Killing normal people upset over high fuel prices. THE LONG HAND OF KARMA REACHES OUT.

It is difficult to know what is true and what is not true at this time.

From the videos I have seen it would appear the Russian were not prepared for war.

From how they travel, how they respond to an ambush or how they set up their base camps, it all looks like training exercises where there are no real bad guys out to kill them.

In combat it is easy to pick out the officers and the commanders. The more radios you see, the higher the rank.

A warmongering press is pathetic. They are so bad at it. The Russians aren’t just killed, they are “liquidated”. A “no-fly zone” is a magic umbrella that you open up by just by declaring it. The press should stick to quoting celebrities.

He’s approaching 3x the deaths we had in 20 years in Afghanistan, if this is to be believed.
