*another major general

The Ukrainians have killed six so far (though to be fair, three of those are claimed but not proven, and the other three are verified. It's highly likely at least one of the claimed unproven kills is real as well but nobody can verify whether Mityaev was actually killed, though no one has seem him since 15 March 2022...)

Western intelligence estimates Russia has sent 20 major-generals deployed to Ukraine, so a loss of 6 would be a 30% loss rate of your senior-most officers in-theatre. Not great!

Also, the thing about the dead Russian generals - it should be noted that unlike western militaries, a Major General in the Russian army is the LOWEST ranked general, equivalent to a 1 star. Lieutenant Generals are equivalent to 2 stars. However it doesn't really matter WHAT level of general it is because you shouldn't be loving losing generals in combat to start with, and if you have things have gone russian on you.

Major General is lower rank than Liutenant General in pretty much every army, even though the amount of stars varies. That is because the original rank used to be Sergeant Major General, which is obviously lower than Liutenant General. The Sergeant part has just been shortened out from the name.

I suspect the U.S. doen't want to send them for two reasons: 1) they're clearing out old stocks if the lesser stuff and keeping the top shelf goods for ~reasons~ and 2) they don't want ATACMS out in the open for other nations to observe/scavenge if the other stuff is "good enough".

3. They're all in places where it will be easy to deploy them in defense of Taiwan. The Pentagon has been pretty open that they don't think they have enough, and they expect that if they ever need any, they will need a lot of them all at once.

The most charitable explanation is that they have vaguely heard about Russia inflating the Leopard kill numbers and wonder what the deal is.

There isn’t a rank above Captain General. Sometimes it is translated as Marshall.

But if you think about it literally, captain general means that you are the captain of all things ie in charge of everything.

I still think it's just an excuse. Recall that form a long time they were saying that Ukraine actually doesn't need long-range strike capabilities lol.
  • ATACMS is 30 year old stuff that's being replaced right now with PRsM
  • They're shooting them at nothing as a show of force in Korea
  • Its not an anti-ship missile so wouldn't be particular useful for Taiwan
  • The US has the Air Force, Navy and Marines aviation to blow poo poo up
  • If the supplies are tight, surely they could find, I dunno, a dozen out of 3,500 that had been built? Even that would be useful to take out a bridge or some high-value target.

IMO they're either still somehow worried about "escalation" or concerned that they'd just get shot down and not be effective.

Your average person is not sitting on Twitter and forum threads all day reading about all of this information in general, so yeah, some of them are likely uninformed. That doesn't make them "loving stupid", yikes. Get over yourself. It's okay for people to ask questions and learn poo poo.
