Seeing all the videos on how russian soldiers are treated by their superiors, was the AFU vehicle just a plausible deniability?
That’s a good point. He could have been fragged or set up for a own goal. It probably wouldn’t be difficult. Tell him it’s safe and send him out after a bender?
what’s important is the fact that both explanations are perfectly plausible given the current state of the Russian military
You forgot the third, less plausible explanation: General was talking shit about Putin, did not realize that Vladimir Vladimirovich is always listening.
That is a concerning amount of flag officers killed.
I’m glad there are actual consequences for the people at the top. I hope the rest of them realize that too, or are dealt with in the same manner.
