  1. >Four generals are confirmed to have died in the first four months of the war, and another two in the summer of this year.

    Statistically speaking, they’re probably better off being a drummer for Spinal Tap.

  2. Someone got killed during a war!? That almost never happens!

  3. How many more to go? Unsure of how many there are at his rank.

  4. At some point you have to ask how many generals does Russia have? Seems like they die like flies and not only in Ukraine

  5. At 45, dude was young to be Maj-Gen. He was either:
    1) extremely competent,
    2) politically connected, or
    3) benefitting from unexpected leadership vacancies.

  6. Well, another step of the russians to de-mine Ukraine again. Still a few needed though.

  7. Mined the Gap, oh shit, I thought he said mine the Gap!

  8. Fuck around, find out.

    Love that there’s a list on Wikipedia on all kinds of things.

    [List of Russian generals killed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_generals_killed_during_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine)

    >As of 28 November 2023, Ukrainian sources claimed that 16 Russian generals and 1 admiral had been killed during the invasion, while Russian sources have confirmed 7 deaths. Although seven of the Ukrainian claims were rebutted, the loss of even two general officers is rare.

  9. Honestly if I was a Russian soldier in Ukraine I’d be pushing my generals into minefields to…

  10. “Where is da general?” Nah, the question is *where ISNT he*

  11. Generals stepping on mine? How many Russian generals are on front lines? Usually a general is more likely to be killed by a mime.

  12. There is one part of the Russian army that does not care about political connections of family wealth: the cube

  13. This is what happens when you have a military culture of micromanaging from the top and having to babysit your troop leaders at the front. The top Russian brass don’t trust their subordinates so they have to be near the front.
