    Russia should stop storming cities with their generals on the front lines.

    Education is extremely important.

      War is a clusterfuck. There are few exceptions.

      But still, another one down is good news.

            In fairness, promotions to general are not a scarce resource. It's not like one has to mine for generals, you can just create them on the spot, like a Star Trek replicator.

              @jon-nyc I wonder if "general officers" is the equivalent of what we're seeing now.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      Indeed.

                      As @Renauda said in one of the early posts in this thread, "General" might mean different things to different nations and their armies.

                      But, it seems like the Russian military is losing a significant percentage of their senior leadership in the assault on Ukraine.

                      So, assuming that these guys were "The Best," who's going to be promoted to take up their positions? The "Almost-The-Best?"

                          These are just Russian Generals. Wait until the Specifics show up. They are the top brass.

                            Colonel?

                            Maybe the Russian system is different, but over here this is below the general ranks. Senior, but not super senior.

                                  Amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the general staff of the Ukraine forces have claimed that they have killed the commander of the 8th General Army of the Southern Military District of the Armed Forces of Russia, namely Lieutenant General Andrei Mordvichev. The advisor to the president's office of Ukraine, Aleksey Arestovich, informed that the general of Russia was killed in an attack by the forces of Ukraine at an airfield named Chernobaevka near Mykolaiv.

                                          Black Sea fleet deputy commander killed in Ukraine

                                          So u think the Ukrainians are getting real time intel on the location of top officers and picking them off, or just bad luck?

                                          A lot of high ranking officers dead in the course of three weeks.
