    He was a paratrooper.

    Interesting thread on Russian paratroopers:

      The headline says 'Top Russian General', but then they describe him as a 'Major General' in the article, which is the equivalent of a Brigadier General.

      Do you nit-pik this much at home or just here?

      If so, I'm surprised your wife hasn't thrown your clothes on the front lawn and kicked your ass to the curb.

        @Improviso

        The duties and responsibilities of a Major General in the Russian army would be on a par with an American bird colonel. So taking him out is significant but not that big a kill.

          So... the argument is maybe the thread title should not have said "Top".

          Personally, I was more interested in the fact that a Russian General was actually killed, whether he was a top general or a run of the mill general.

          Either way, a general is the head of a snake. Cut it off.

            https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10573429/Top-Russian-general-killed-Ukrainian-sniper-Kyiv-claims-9-000-Putins-troops-died.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490

            A top Russian general has been killed amid bitter fighting in Ukraine in what represents a major blow to the Russian invasion.

            Major General Andrey Sukhovetsky, who was the deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army of Russia's Central Military District, died yesterday as Ukrainian defence forces repelled the Russian offensive.

            His death has not yet been officially confirmed by Russia's Ministry of Defence, but was announced on social media by his colleague Sergey Chipilyov and was widely reported by several Russian and Ukrainian news outlets.

            A military source confirmed that he was killed 'by a sniper', and suggested a funeral for the Major General - by far the most senior Russian figure to have died in the conflict thus far - will be held in Russia on Saturday.

            I'm no strategist, but you have to wonder how effective an invasion can be if the death of one guy results in a "major blow".

              Probably the same reason Putin sent in a death squad to hunt down Zelenskyy.

                      Aren't you the guy who posted a photo of a bunch of Italian miners in a cage and said they were Irish slaves?

                      Then you posted a photo of a Soviet soldier, and referred to him as a D-day veteran?

                      Maybe you should pay more attention to detail.
