High turnover in Russia’s deployed military, even among senior ranks: UK FN

Russia’s deployed military is experiencing extreme attrition and high turnover even amongst relatively senior ranks, a UK intelligence update revealed.
“Since February 2022, three successive commanders of one of Russia’s most prestigious airborne regiments have either resigned or been killed. The 247th Guards Air Assault Landing Regiment commander Colonel Vasily Popov was likely killed in the heavily contested Orikhiv sector in early September 2023,” the British ministry of defense said in its war intelligence update.
