Ukranians have to be getting some type of inside intelligence to have targeted so many of the Russian commanders

However, the simple fact that they're able to take these guys out says a lot about the way the Russians do stuff.
I don't think any of US generals suffered this level of loss during our campaigns. What are these guys doing on the front lines that exposes them to this type of danger?
Now, of course, what we call a "general" might be different from how the Russian military assigns their ranks, but it just seems that there's significant level of high-level damage to leadership.

Ukraine has killed another Russian general in a further “serious blow to the morale” of the invading forces, a government adviser said Wednesday.
Maj. Gen. Oleg Mityaev died Tuesday during the storming of Ukraine’s most devastated city, Mariupol, according to Interior Ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko — who later posted a photo of the body.
Mityaev would be at least the fourth general killed during the invasion, which Kremlin officials are reportedly calling a complete “clusterf–k.’’
Maj. Gen. Oleg Mityaev died Tuesday during the storming of Ukraine’s most devastated city, Mariupol, according to Interior Ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko.
Mityaev, 46, commanded the 150th Motorized Rifle Division and had fought in Syria, Gerashchenko said, saying his body was found with “the shoulder straps of a major general.”

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

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.

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.
