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.
For context, Russia has been at war with Ukraine for almost two years. They have lost 9 Generals. The US was in Afghanistan for two decades. We lost 1.
It’s hard to get a good picture imo. Russia is from what I understand top heavy so has more. Wiki says 1000 in 2008. Granted I don’t think all of them are active and there’s sectors like logistics that have generals, as well as different types of general although the wiki list only mentions the two highest types.
I would love to see an article that goes in depth on what this means for their army.

9 is a fuck ton of senior staff in 2 years.
