Lieutenant General Alexander Tatarenko was in overall charge of the Belbek air base, the most-developed and best-defended air force base in the Black Sea region.
The US military (all branches) has just over 600 flag officers. If Russia has 1000 that’s still a massive difference between the loss rate. (.16% vs .9% or 139% difference) Also the US military also has logistics generals, not sure where you were going with that, could you please expand on it?
I’m not a numbers person so my math may be a tad wonky but that still looks like a significant impact.
If your just saying the army then the US has 218 as a max number of generals. 1 loss is almost .5% (.45%) of their numbers in 23 years. Russia lost almost 1% (.9%) in 2 years. At that pace in 23 years they should expect to lose almost 103 generals or over 10% of their flag officers.
That’s a rate of .5% of generals a year. The US is averaging that in 2 decades.
I don’t care how top heavy they are; 1% is an impactful amount of flag officers to lose in a year. Even if the impact is only to morale.
