| Russian General Killed With U.S.-Supplied Missiles, Ukraine Says |
| 2022-07-13 |
Getting it on record. Hattip Matt. [MSN] Serhiy Bratchuk, front man for the Odessa regional military, wrote on Telegram about the "liquidation" of Major General Artem Nasbulin, the chief of staff of the 22nd Army Corps "after HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) missiles hit the headquarters in the Kherson region" of southern Ukraine.It came as Ukraine released footage it said showed a HIMARS attack on a mobile command post in Tavriis'k, in the Kherson region. If confirmed, Nasbulin could be the ninth Russian general to have died since the start of the invasion on February 24, according to one estimate. Ukraine's claims that it has killed Russian commanders give its forces a considerable PR boost although most of them have not been confirmed by Moscow and Russia's Defense Ministry, which Newsweek has contacted, rarely comments on such losses. The Telegram post was from Monday night but it was not clear when the attack took place. Ukraine has said that it has carried out significant strikes against Russian forces using the HIMARS system which is part of a package of military support announced by the U.S. The weapons can hit targets at a range of 50 miles, which is much further than the M777 howitzers, which the U.S. has also given Ukraine. |

| #2 How long before the dems let the relatives of such casualties sue the arms makers, like Cali and New York want to do to gun manufacturers? |
