..."General Gerasimov is third Russian General (if one counts Chechens as Russians) killed by the Ukrainians in the eleven days since the conflict began.
They are:
Maj Gen. Vitaly Gerasimov (killed)
Maj. Gen. Andrei Sukhovetsky (killed)
Chechen general Magomed Tushayev (killed)
In addition, five Russian Colonels have also been killed in action.
It has been reported that the Russian commanders have had to relocate closer to the front lines in the past few days because of the breakdown in their command and control structure. This has not been without consequence, as the command staff is now exposed to Ukranian fire.
The fact that Ukraine has claimed its third Russian general in less than two should strike terror through the Russian officer Corp. If the General was killed by Ukrainian military intelligence, as was reported, this was likely a targeted hit. In such case, it is not likely to be the last. Because many of the Russian senior command are now stationed at or near the front lines, this should serve as a wakeup call to them if they are not already feeling exposed.
There has been much commentary in recent days to the effect that the Russian army does not care about its losses because they are cannon fodder. There is a huge difference in the importance of untrained conscripts and Major Generals to the Russian military. When Generals and other senior officers are taken out, it cripples the army’s command structure. Furthermore, every Russian commander killed in action has to be replaced, potentially putting those Generals behind the lines into the line of fire. If nothing else has driven a wedge between Putin and his Generals. it may be this."...
