referencing a British intelligence review.

British intelligence reports that Mikhail Gudkov, deputy commander of the Russian Navy, was at least the second high-ranking general to have died this year.

The effectiveness of Ukrainian Defense Forces' actions

Overall, Russia's losses amount to at least 16 generals since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. These losses highlight the success of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

The loss of such a number of high-ranking officers has likely disrupted the command system in some units of the Russian Armed Forces. This may pose difficulties for Russia during the conflict

, - reported the British intelligence.

The special operations forces (SOF) of Ukraine struck the 'Borisoglebsk' airfield in the Voronezh region of Russia on July 5. This strike was part of strategic actions aimed at reducing the enemy's ability to conduct air attacks.

As a result of the attack, a storage facility and a training-combat aircraft based at this airfield were damaged.

The number of Russian generals killed as a result of the war in Ukraine underscores the effectiveness of the Ukrainian Defense Forces and the resilience of their actions on the battlefield. According to the British intelligence's assumptions, such losses may negatively impact the internal structure of command in the Russian Armed Forces, creating difficulties in the conflict.
