After the deputy commander of the Russian Navy was assassinated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces' HIMARS long-range rocket artillery, the loss of Major General Mikhail Gudkov, the deputy commander of the Russian Navy, Hero of Russia, and commander of the 155th Kursk Guards Naval Infantry Regiment of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet, is still a big blow to Russia. His death will severely impact the combat effectiveness and offensive momentum of the naval infantry regiment. A thousand soldiers are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. The 810th Regiment and the 40th "Harbin" Regiment of the Russian Navy, like the 155th Regiment, are all formidable combat units. Overall, the Russian navy infantry has lived up to the reputation of the old Red Navy infantry in recent years. The Russian military should learn from Ukraine. The highest rank at the front line is colonel, which is the level of regimental commander. Why set up a major general? It would be enough to have a colonel. If there are no generals, you can't hit generals. In this war, the proportion of high-ranking Russian officers who have died in battle has always been very high, which is also a tradition. On the positive side, it reflects the excellent tradition of the Russian military not fearing sacrifice, even generals like to command from the front. On the negative side, the military operations are too crude, and the confidentiality work is not done properly. Russian senior officers should ensure their own safety to ensure the continuity of command. Isn't that a more responsible way for the military to fight?
