Simonov would be the ninth and youngest Russian general killed so far in the latest blow to Putin's disastrous invasion of Ukraine.

Gerasimov wounded in the same attack. Putin knew what he was doing when he sent Gerasimov to the Izyum front last week.

Looks like Russian generals lead from the front, and share the danger.

As opposed to our generals, who lead from the rear, retire to work for Raytheon for millions a year, (so they can direct more billions to the MIC, using their military connections), and then become Sec. of Defense.

You have posted this over and over. I notice you haven’t been here all that long, but enough is enough. I believe you have some kind of affiliation to the Daily Mail or you are literally obsessed with Ukraine.

Please seek help.

Our sources tell us they were greeted by an unidentified Russian colonel general.

Reportedly one of the helicopters brought Russia's Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov, who quickly left on a plane to Moscow shortly after.

This actually demonstrates a fatal flaw in the Russian military. They have a very limited NCO corps, which means high-level officers (who often have no actual battle experience) have to be closer to the front in order to direct battle plans and lead troops. That makes them easy pickings.

He may be an idiot, but at least he’s still breathing. That’s more than you can say about Simonov.

Oh, yeah, way to rationalize our generals “leading” from Drone HQ thousands of miles from the fight.

It’s not just a matter of developing JOs and NCOs, it’s a matter of setting the example of sharing the danger.

But go ahead and spit-shine the boots of our Perfumed Princes, safe back in the Pentagon, lining up their MIC board retirement plan$.

Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov was wounded on the territory of Ukraine. Gerasimov received shrapnel wounds in his legs. The shard was removed, there is no danger to life.

I saw a report yesterday that the Russian soldiers are throwing babies out of incubators.

From the title:

“Putin tires to conquer the East”

I don’t think so.
