upper floor windows and enemy action, next question

I understand how he died. Storm Shadow caved in while building were staff of army was located. Question is why colonel of an army

Putin could have gotten better results by simply substituting his generals with a local run instance of Deepseek

>>63921276
Colonel is commander of an army*

>>63921266 (OP)
Is this the reason the thirdies are going nuts?

>>63921266 (OP)
Maybe he was *a* commander in the 8th GCAA not *the* commander, which is usually a general officer's posting

>>63921276
Reread my first post and apply it to the whole of the russian military for 3+ years

>>63921286
Well in 24 hours they lost: Su-27, factory making radars and AA, this command post and reports about hits on oil refinery

The last zigzog seethe thread indicated that it really couldn't, just "meatwave more lol"

Why do they have high value targets close to the frontlines?
Wouldnt it be smarter to have them communicate via skipe from inside moscow with armed guards and defended by AA?

Chatgpr respose:
Putin could have focused on a more strategic, limited military approach, avoiding the large-scale invasion that triggered massive global backlash. Aiming for diplomatic leverage, building alliances within Europe, and using hybrid warfare (cyber, economic pressure) instead of full-scale conflict might have achieved his goals with less risk. Engaging in negotiation over military force could have avoided isolating Russia on the world stage.

Also what do officers do?

Russian coms have been hilariously trash in this war and leak like collanders

Don't they have so many useless senior officers that the ranks are more of a suggestion?
They don't really have NCOs, and their junior officers are basically just there to beat the men into carrying out the orders from brigade HQ. It's not unheard of to see a general yelling at the illiterate tards at the front line to make sure things get done. Some have been killed doing that.

Yes, that would have been useful 3+ years ago, thanks grok
