Ulyanov.


This is coolbert:

Yet one more Russian top general officer killed-in-action Ukraine!

Been a while now since the last reported death of a Russian flag rank officer the Ukraine Conflict.

A commander too his unit an elite division of paratroopers. Normally only those senior officers of the highest quality and elan thought worthy of such command.

"Russian Generals Killed in War 'Unbelievably High': Japanese Intelligence"

From https://www.newsweek.com/ the article by BRENDAN COLE ON 2/9/23. 

"Vladimir Putin has lost more of his top commanders in the war in Ukraine than previously reported, according to Japanese and Western intelligence."

"The estimate of Russian generals killed increased to 10 this week after former retired Major General Dmitry Ulyanov, 44, reportedly died in a firefight in the Donbas region. A top paratrooper and commander of the elite 98th Guards Airborne Division, Ulyanov's death was the first among Russian generals reported for several months."

"The news outlet reported that one theory for such high losses was that Ukraine located commanders by tracking signals from their cell phones, which were used due to communication shortcomings earlier in the war but have since been banned."

I guess depending on who is doing the counting about a dozen to nearly two dozen Russian generals killed during the conflict.

Perhaps it is not merely "communication shortcomings" that is the culprit here? Think rather Russian combat arms elements recalcitrant and hesitant when ordered to perform mission? Senior commanders needed upfront at the Line-of-Contact [LoC] exhorting/goading/prodding their charges forward?

That is my perspective!
