I think the real weakness the Russian army has is in secure communications systems and general secrecy of operations.
It looks like the combination of civilian and para-military spotters combined with effective aerial surveillance and communications interceptions have allowed the Ukrainian military to pinpoint the location of Russian generals to specific buildings and even vehicles.
The most recent strike the killed the general started with a projectile making a direct hit on the building being used for the meeting. Follow on impacts were less well targeted and looked like unguided artillery or missiles.
Naw, you don’t get the Russian genius strategy of intentionally getting all your generals killed so their bodies can bloat and spread disease to the other side.
It’s a tactic, not a problem!
These russian bots are so incredibly goofy.
Excellent analysis. Thanks.
IMHO, communications intercepts are the key. My guess is that their secure voice systems don't work and the generals are issuing orders "in the clear".
Regardless, Putin should be irate.
“ The most recent strike the killed the general started with a projectile making a direct hit on the building being used for the meeting.”
I saw that too. I think that we will be seeing a lot more like that, and it’s effects.
Western artillery is in the house, and it’s a whole new ball game.
It sucks to be a Russian General, or a Russian tanker, in Ukraine.
There is a great drone video of the MLRs attack and the directed arty hit to the HQ, but I can’t seem to find it at the moment.
