Russia’s occupying army has lost three commanders of one of Russia’s most prestigious airborne regiments since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

This is stated in the review of the UK Ministry of Defense.
British intelligence indicates that the above-mentioned Russian commanders have been eliminated or resigned. For example, the commander of the 247th Guards Air Assault Regiment, Colonel Vasily Popov, probably died in the Orekhovsky direction this year in early September.
Only a few weeks earlier, in August 2023, his predecessor, Colonel Philip Popov, had probably resigned. Independent Russian media claim that he did this as a protest against the fact that the military could not find the bodies of the dead Russians, the British military indicates.
In the first weeks of the Russian invasion near Nikolaev, the then commander of the 247th, Colonel Konstantin Zizevsky, was liquidated.
Experience 247 highlights extreme attrition and high turnover in the Russian military, even among relatively senior officers, the intelligence agency adds.
Let us remind you that from February 24, 2022 to September 23, 2023, the Ukrainian Defense Forces eliminated about 275 thousand 460 Russian invaders, while over the past 24 hours they managed to eliminate another 510 Russian soldiers.
