One of those killed after the shelling of the peacekeepers' car in Karabakh was the Deputy Commander of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Karabakh, Ivan Kovgan, who was also the deputy commander of the submarine forces of the Northern Fleet

#3  From the photo I saw it looked like the SUV was raked by machine gun fire from the front. Lots of entry and exit holes on both windshields. The front showed round entry holes and the rear metal panel showed exit holes.

The olive drab vehicle was not well marked. The front had what looked like a blue circle on the hood (with "MC"?). Same on rear panel. Hard to see by a crouching machine gunner.

#2  ^Sounds like you need a "frontline" posting to advance in Russian Military - Ivan probably thought that Karabach's better then Ukraina.

#1  Sounds like Russia's 'depth' of personnel is getting a bit shallow.
