A Russian commander was reportedly killed in Crimea following a Ukrainian missile strike in the region.
On Monday, the Russian independent outlet Astra said on its Telegram channel that a Russian air defense base located near Mount Ai-Petri in Crimea was hit with "an early morning missile attack" by Ukrainian forces.
"The commander of the military unit was killed," Astra reported. "On the mountain, there is a 'secret' military air defense base of the 3rd radio technical regiment of the Russian Armed Forces."
The outlet identified the Russian military commander as Alexander Kulakov. Another Russian soldier was also killed in the missile strike, and others were injured, it said.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Ukrainian military blogger Igor Sushko said, "Several Ukrainian missiles struck a strategic Russian air defense radar base of the military unit 85683 on the Ai-Petri mountain in the south of Crimea. Commander of military unit reportedly killed. Strikes occurred at around 6am on May 13, 2024."

Putin will definitely surrender now.
And I say when that happens, Hunter Biden should be made head of Rosneft. With all his gas and oil experience gained in Ukraine, and with that kind of money available, he could hold a giant cocaine-rave for all of DC

What Storm Shadows doink?
This seems like the 3rd time that this guy has died.
And I say when that happens, the commies/Marxists are at the local university, no need to mourners to head elsewhere.
Losing. That's what.
So what’s the bad news? Lol.
I would imagine at this point that most of Russia’s ‘commanders’ are likely ‘acting commanders’... Do they have any officers left?
Remember the good old days when the Russian commanders merely waited at the rear of the battle, and then shot troops as they ran away from the battle? These nasty drones have taken away that advantage from the past. Now you can GPS them and then kill them.
So is that the widow? She’s a free agent now.
What Russian floating nuclear power plant Akademik Lomonosov doink?
Beat it. Send a different screen name. This one pretends about nearly everything.
I would assume the commander was not the target, but rather the equipment at the location. Nobody wastes a Storm Shadow missile on a lowly commander.
Which NATO member team launched this missile ?
