The Russian's have fallen into the same trap here. They didn't understand that the Ukrainian military wasn't going to confront them in piecemeal battles and let themselves get sucked into ambushes and fire sacks.
The Russian General's that were killed were killed due to simple incompetence and over confidence. Making satellite calls in the open, stupid. Staying on the radio too long and letting the enemy pinpoint your command posts, outright rookie mistake.
To be honest and I know I'm going to get #### on here. but young Russian men and generally Ukrainian men woman are children are victims of these field generals. So yeah, I don't mind some general's get snuffed out.
Right now to me the difference in this war is leadership, the Ukrainian's have it the Russian's don't. With the edge in equipment, technology and sheer men and the ability to control the skies, right about now the Russian's should be trampling the last resistance in Ukraine. Instead they are bogged down, out foxed, and have been denied the mobile set piece war that they wanted to fight.
I want to see this thing end, its not going to though.

I question the Russians having the edge in technology. To me, other than leadership, that's where the Ukraine is killing it.
Russia seems to be fighting an old school war while the Ukraine is embracing modern military technology to a very effective degree.
