Russian officials said Saturday that another of its generals, deputy commander of the 8th Army Maj. Gen. Vladimir Frolov, was killed in combat in Ukraine.

They didn’t provide details, but several other generals have already been killed in the conflict, particularly in the early days in the campaign.

Some have been veterans of previous conflicts in Georgia and Syria, where Russia also lost generals, robbing Moscow of potentially valuable battlefield experience.

Some military analysts have attributed the losses to the Russian military’s fighting style. It has comparatively fewer noncommissioned officers to lead operations in the field compared with U.S. forces, leaving generals to take more vulnerable positions further forward. Most of those killed are described as major generals in Russia, which equates to one-star officers, like brigadier generals in the West.

There are also a larger proportion of senior officers compared with Western militaries.

Maj. Gen. Frolov was buried Saturday in St. Petersburg, RIA Novosti reported. The forces he commanded had been deployed to the area around Mariupol, a strategic port on the Sea of Azov which is currently besieged by Russian forces

Said it time without number , that Russian military is not modernized to fight an all out open war with United States or NATO or even China.
Their military is still modelled after the defunct USSR

This war is UNAVOIDABLE, and even necessary, for the survival of Russians as a people, and every Russian knows what is at stake.
If you don't know the history of Russia, you'll be at sea, on how they've been impoverished and RUINED by satanic aliens.
Ignorance is bliss for many Nigerians, sadly.

Nonsense write up. Brigadier General is different from Major General. Who writes these nonsense for the West these days. So this is how we have been deceived for so long by these reprobates of disinformation? Thank God for Russia

Shut up!

A general is a general whether brigadier or major.

The most important thing is that a top Russian officer has been taken out.

8 general lost in the war and almost 40 colonels

Russian army is garbage

They went to Ukraine with a view to parade in Kiev after 2 days of military exercise. They did not expect intense resistance from UA.
