Putin loses his 60th colonel in Ukraine: Paratrooper is buried with full military honours as he becomes latest high-ranking officer to die in conflict
Daily Mail ^ | 7/9/2022 | Will Stewart

Vladimir Putin has lost at least 60 colonels in the war in Ukraine, it was revealed today.

Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Moskvichev, 45, was buried with full military honours.

A paratrooper, it took Russia three months to retrieve his body from the war zone and conduct his funeral, it was revealed.

He was the 60th known colonel to have died in the bloody war, which has seen a crushing toll of high-ranking officers in Putin's forces, including at least 11 generals.

The revelation of his death came as Putin declared he had hardly begun his military campaign in Ukraine.

'We haven't started anything yet in earnest,' he claimed, despite suffering an overall toll of more than 30,000 troops, according to estimates.

Putin has lost a lot and destroyed even more, to gain his victory. He must be so proud.

They lead from the front, unlike ours who are in the rear with the gear.

I see you beat UMCRevMom to the punch Speedy. Propaganda is such a competitive sport.

In other news Biden’s proxy war isn’t going very well. The front is being pushed westward and the Germans are taking cold showers in the dark.

Yes, its highly possible. We have learned that much of what comes from the British tabloids and the few single-minded (and thus likely paid) neocon trolls on FR is pure lies or exaggeration.

What a waste of life!

The Russian military clearly has issues with experienced NCOs and nobody wants to follow the orders of the lower ranked officers.

So send in the Colonels and Brigadiers….

someone has to start questioning this. A colonel parachuting in. Thats not really a high ranking official. There is clearly a lot of rank inflation in the Russian army. If you have killed 60 in this war there are a bunch of them on the front line, which would mean there are not lower officers that would manage a tank battalion. Majors and captains are in the minority. So this kind of war is needed to help the Russian army clear out the ranks and give the surviving officers some real war experience.

He had allergies, ok?

Not all deaths are war related when in theater and you’re a high ranking Russian Officer. 🤥
