re: Russian Generals Killed in Ukraine War

How the frick does a General Officer get killed in war? I can see one maybe in an accident or the other forces get extremely lucky and are just in the right place, but that would be major news. So far 8 have died in a war that has been going on for 2 months. That is just a very inefficient way of using your military. In Iraq and Afghanistan the highest rank to get killed were two Colonels ,one of them was my former Battalion Commander Col John McHugh. They got lucky and hit his convoy with an IED ,but a Field Grade Officer dying on the battlefield is not and should not be a common occurrence much less a General Officer.

They get killed because nobody trusts anybody else in Russia so everything is always both top down and at the same time hands on.

The biggest problem with the way the Russian military is structured comes from the old Soviet way of doing things. They have a lot of senior officers, junior officers have no autonomy over their commands, and NCOs are practically non-existent. So more senior ranking officers have to be closer to the front to practically heard poorly trained and equipped cats to an objective.
