There are reports that the commander of the Russian Armored Regiment has made an extreme choice.
According to a British media Daily Mail report on the 26th (local time), the commander of the 13th Panzer Regiment in the 4th Tank Division of the Russian Federation took his own life after recovering 9 out of 10 reserve tanks and finding that they were in an unusable state. The Ministry of Defense announced.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said that the Russian army tried to repair a damaged tank at the Krymovo airfield in Bryansk, about 35 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, but was unable to do so due to lack of parts. This is because key components such as optics and electronics that go into the tank were stolen.
For this reason, in the case of the 13th Panzer Regiment, it was determined that only 1 out of 10 tanks dismantled for repairs could be used.
Ukrainian intelligence officials announced the news, claiming that the Russian military’s plan to reinforce its forces had virtually failed.
As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been going on for over a month, Russian military commanders have been killed one after another.

Recently, Russian Lieutenant General Yakov Rezantev was killed near the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said.
The Washington Post reported that “Russian generals are dying at a rate not seen since World War II.”
“The Russian military relies on insecure communications systems such as personal cell phones and outdated walkie-talkies,” the BBC said. It is easy to understand.”
A close aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), “Our military has a separate special forces unit dedicated to high-ranking Russian commanders. “This unit intercepts the Russian military’s communications equipment, locates senior officers, and attacks with sniper or artillery fire,” he said.
