Agreed on all counts. Apparently, reports have it that the Ukranians got another Russian general - five down now.

Yes you did.

Yea, saw they got a 3-star and a navy admiral. That’s 6 flag officers by my count. Looks like the command heavy model is really not working well in a near-peer conflict.

More info on the latest (which are talking about)....

Russian Black Sea Fleet captain Andrey Paliy killed, Ukraine claims as ‘demoralised’ Putin’s army left ‘stuck’ (msn.com)


Putin has only one option left.............raze Ukraine to the ground & scatter the population to the four corners of the globe.....

That's a lot of flag officers to lose in such a short period.

Looking at US flag officers lost in WWII, I'm counting 22ish, about half due to enemy fire/ engagement and half due to accidents or suicide.

not questioning the validity of the statement here but do you have a source for this?

There's a wiki page with flag officer deaths in WWII.

I quickly used all my fingers and toes, so I could be off, but they lost all the losses and causes of death.

You'll have to excuse my monday brain. I read your post as deaths since ww2.

Wonder where the three “boats” we gave Ukraine are hiding. 🧐

Be a shame if those Russians ships were to have a mishap with a torpedo.
