No more Macho for him
Pretty soon they will run out of generals and the grunts won’t know what to do.
Gee, it’s almost like they know where these guys are and where they’re going or something...
Propaganda. I don’t believe it. Need some proof besides the media BS.
Highest ranking Russian flag officer killed, to date.

All good and well, however the Ukie losses are conveniently never mentioned. If you have the ability to read Russian, pull up the many Russian articles written ( outside of Russia) and you will see a vastly different story. Vlad is winning, not by western standards, but the standards of war.
Don’t get sucked in.Wake up, Both sides are evil beyond all comprehension.
A Corps commander in US practice.
The Russian communications equipment is assumed to have failed. The Ukrainians announced that a general made a phone call on an open line. The Ukrainians used the GPS location of the call to target the caller. If this is what happened, first, they shouldn’t have revealed how it was done. The Russians will revert to smoke signals. Second, it means the Russian military equipment has really deteriorated. (Now it could have been that the equipment didn’t get the encryption code of the day and thus wouldn’t work.)
An earlier death was announced over the open channel radio by a soldier telling his buddy the general had just been killed. Apparently, a lot of soldiers were not aware they were not on an exercise and were just taken prisoner because they walked up to the Ukrainians to ask directions. But that was on day one. The overall tone of the operation is like a Buster Keaton movie. (Yes, I’m dating myself. But I only do that because I know I’m easy.)
Shot down by the Ghost of Kiev?
So I guess Russian generals are actively involved to the extent that their risk of getting killed along with the troops is fairly high. Compare that to US generals who rarely get near the actual battlefield.
Somebody posted it on Twitter so it must be true. /sarc
Hi.
When you go into combat you write your will and testament.
When you go into combat you take all the shiney medals off black out your hat and lapels.
When you go into comat you ditch your cell phone and any coins in your pocket.
When in a combat zone, remember Murphy’s laws of combat.
This has been a PSA.

Given the high number of general officers going down, the question has to be asked: Fragging?
Fourty thousand Syrans are on the way. This is going to be a bloodbath for all ranks and the civilians for which Syrians kill for elimination as routine order of battle. Asaid is a real fanatic about eliminating everyone where there WAS resistance in Syria.
So is that five now?
You should have distributed lotion & tissues with this post.

Good riddance.
That’s a lot of fruit salad going bad.
Well, sucks to be him.
I’m curious as to why so many freepers think they have some God-given right to all the accurate sensitive truth of all sides?
We are looking at the fog of war through a glass darkly - the best we can finagle out of the void is the best we’ll have today. It may change, it may not.
C’mon, people, it’s nothing personal.

black humor:
- what are you tinking about?
- dreaming about I sitting about the river and all russians flows in coffins by the river
- you can't ... there are so many good russians!
- bad russians - in bad coffins, good - in good ones
They really hate the Russians
