Russian Maj. Gen. Andrei Sukhovetsky Tango Uniform - 'And he ain't gonna jump no more'

2022-03-04

[FOX] Ukrainian defense forces killed Russian Maj. Gen. Andrei Sukhovetsky in combat earlier this week, according to Ukrainian officials and Russian media.

The circumstances of the 47-year-old’s death were not immediately clear, but the Kremlin-backed Pravda said he was killed "during a special operation in Ukraine."

According to Russia’s state-owned TASS news agency, Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Sukhovetsky deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District last year. He was also the head of the 7th Airborne Division, had served in Syria and received two commendations for bravery from the Kremlin.

49Pan said the General was Spetznez!

An empty bottle of Beluga and a Makarov were found nearby. No further details are available.

I hope all is well in your part of the world, now that your PM has mostly calmed down. How are the truckers doing?

#8 Oh, Stalin influenced people. Just not the way that Dale Carnegie had in mind. Probably didn't make a lot of friends.

#7 Stalin sure went thru a lot of Officers.

And a bunch of Ukrainians. Definitely not a "win friends and influence people" kind of guy.

#6 He went through a lot prior to the war. He placed 'politically reliable' officers in their place. That the Germans got within kilometers of Moscow is testament to the wisdom of that move. At least in the States, Obama used the promotion and selection board system to install 'politically reliable' officers in the higher ranks.

I remember reading how Stalin, would issue orders during WWII, that ordered Combat Officers to DO IT or DIE if they failed.

Stalin sure went thru a lot of Officers.

#4 The current situation in the Ukraine pains all of us greatly. The only good that I can see is that we are losing no young US soldier, Marines, or Airmen. The only other potential good is that the West may finally awaken to the evil that is Putin, Xi, and communism.

Punks and traitors who flirt with socialism, communist, and the globalist dream, yes, the Antifa, BLM, crowd and leftest dems should be rejected at every turn. We know where these people lead us.

#2 Latest dispatches: Mariupol on its last legs, will fall today likely.
Next: Odessa, Kherson, and Chernihiv will fall.

Then the entire southern force will head and close the pincers.
Should be wrapped up by this time next week.
