This is a total of 10 stars (total experience of general and flag officers) killed in five weeks.
If this happened in the U.S. or NATO militaries, we would consider it a catastrophe. A monument to the unbelievably bad training and corrupt leadership of the Russian armed forces. https://t.co/1pDGyXyNkA
