Ukraine, Russia, and the West

Is changing generals midstream really considered a big no no? Isn’t that basically how the Soviets turned around the eastern front in WWII or the union in the civil war?

basically, no. it was a lot more complicated that that. lol.

Maybe there were a lot of other factors in both of those wars, but I still think the claim that firing generals is a ‘no no’ needs further defense by Christo Grozev or whoever was making that claim. If you have military commanders who are failing it is probably better the replace them as soon as possible even if it sets you back in the short term.

replacing generals is a no-no in the sense that it signals you are losing the war. there’s no guarantees new generals are going to turn the tide.

The 300s and 600s can loiter for 40 minutes I believe.

Looks deadly.

seems pretty damn brilliant tbh in this kind of war.

Seems like you’d have a better chance of getting assassinated by the newbie in the Kremlin.

This woman is living in France thankfully. It seems to be basically a way of saying don’t come back. The purge is happening.
