Top Russian General Killed
-
Because Vladimir Putin is quickly running out of senior commanders, an overweight former general from the Russian military has been deployed to fight on the frontlines in Eastern Ukraine.
After the previous leader of the Russian special forces operating in the region was gravely injured in an artillery strike, the 67-year-old general who weighs 20 stone is now believed to be in charge of the forces operating in the region.
General Pavel is the name of the man who fought in Russia’s terrible war in Afghanistan.
Sunday night, a top intelligence source told FOX3: “Putin is now scraping the bottom of the barrel.
He has had to resort to sending second-rate officers who don’t last very long to the front lines because the majority of his best and most experienced senior commanders have been dead or injured fighting in Ukraine.
“He is now dragging generals out of retirement, and one of those he has brought back is General Pavel. “
“Putin is comparable to a mafia lord who commands absolute obedience from everyone. There is not much that can be done if a retired general gets a communication from Putin saying that mother Russia needs them to fight in Ukraine. Because of the sanctions, it is now possible to go away from Russia.
Pavel served in the military for more than 40 years and eventually became a commander in Russia’s special forces; however, this accomplishment occurred 25 years ago, when he was significantly younger and physically stronger.
It is believed that he served in Syria right up until the time that he officially retired from active duty five years ago.
He had been living in a suburb of Moscow up until very recently, but it is believed that he was given orders to go back to active duty about a month ago.
The officer’s enormous girth necessitates that he wear two sets of body armor in addition to having his uniform tailored specifically for him so that it can accommodate his weight.
It is believed that he must eat five meals a day, each of which must be followed by at least one liter of vodka.
It is estimated that Russia has as many as ten generals and as many as thirty senior officers involved in the conflict in Ukraine.

I bet they’ll need a block and tackle just get him on his horse. Won’t be the first general needing such assistance.

They dropped him on Mariupol this morning.

U.S. Intelligence Is Helping Ukraine Kill Russian Generals, Officials Say
The United States has provided intelligence about Russian units that has allowed Ukrainians to target and kill many of the Russian generals who have died in action in the Ukraine war, according to senior American officials.
Ukrainian officials said they have killed approximately 12 generals on the front lines, a number that has astonished military analysts.
The targeting help is part of a classified effort by the Biden administration to provide real-time battlefield intelligence to Ukraine. That intelligence also includes anticipated Russian troop movements gleaned from recent American assessments of Moscow’s secret battle plan for the fighting in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, the officials said. Officials declined to specify how many generals had been killed as a result of U.S. assistance.
The United States has focused on providing the location and other details about the Russian military’s mobile headquarters, which relocate frequently. Ukrainian officials have combined that geographic information with their own intelligence — including intercepted communications that alert the Ukrainian military to the presence of senior Russian officers — to conduct artillery strikes and other attacks that have killed Russian officers.
Nice reporting NYT. This feeds the Russian propaganda perfectly.

Yes, I think the invocation of the words of Gen. Jackson is more than appropriate in this instance. Kherson could very prove to be the Kremlin’s Fredericksburg.

Question is what happens after that.

Don’t know but I do not believe Putin has a Grant in waiting. It seems he hasn’t even got a McClellan or a Burnside.

The chief of missile troops and artillery of the 35th combined army of the Russian armed forces
Totikov and another soldier, the head of the automobile service of guards military unit No. 74268, captain Oleg Lebedev, were reportedly buried in Russia’s city of Ryazan on Sept. 25.
According to Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov, the Russian army colonel was killed in a HIMARS MLRS strike on the headquarters of the Russian invaders in the town of Izyum in Kharkiv Oblast, just ahead of the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Balakliya.
“It was the headquarters of the 35th combined army that was responsible for commanding the troops in this area – the breakthrough occurred in their area,” the journalist said in a Telegram messenger post on Sept. 26.
“And now, as we can see, there are reasons to say that the Russian command suffered significant losses in this area. The chief of missile troops and artillery is one of the key elements in modern warfare. Now it is clear that the defeat of the Russians was largely connected with the loss of control and the accurate determination by Ukrainian intelligence of the location of Russian headquarters and their precise defeat.”
