Another M777 goes down to nobrainer, a Lancet.

What are you talking about? How is the constant firing or replacing of Russian generals a bad thing operationally? If the strategy is essentially the same. Tactics change but strategy remains and you must know this if am to assume you served or well-read on the military, especially American. As a matter of fact, during WWII American Generalship was constantly in Flux as commanding generals are fired, replaced, rotated as documented by Tom Ricks on his book on precisely the same title: American Generalship. He in fact argued that the piss poor performance of the American Army generals in Iraq is an institutional failure from failing to hold their generals accountable i.e. Firing or replacing them. Lt.Col. Yingling wrote a scathing op-ed piece in the NYT regarding the low quality of American Generalship and holding them accountable in his words, a private who drops his rifle has a better chance of getting punished than their Generals from failing to craft a winning strategy.

I understand am delving way off topic here, but I want to have an answer from the above posters charge and accusation (the supposed instability of firing generals) without any challenge as if it were a fact.
Wagner only withdrew from Bakhmut beginning of June, a single month of taking operational command of Bakhmut and he is already gotten the boot? That front haven't collapsed and is unlikely to change hands any time soon, what mistakes could he have committed in such a short time to be relieved of command?

The constant replacement of generalship seem little to do with performance and is more based on the politics of the time, the appointment of Surovkin seem to be a turning point in the war in which Russia regained initiative, yet he has been missing since the Wagner saga, is that really how you want to run a war?

The Russian Air Defense Forces and the Navy repelled the attack of Ukrainian sea drones on July 16 on Sevastopol in the area of Cape Khersones and the Sevastopol Bay and Balaklava. Ukrainian UAVs were also used in the attack. One UAV was reportedly shot down by air defenses and five UAVs were suppressed by EW forces. Marine drones of Ukraine, in the amount of two pieces, were destroyed by fire from the boats of the protection of the water area in the outer roadstead. At the moment, there are no reports of any damage from the attack of drones and UAVs.






Ukraine again attacked the Crimean bridge on 17 July. The Crimean bridge is closed again, the head of Crimea reported that an incident occurred in the area of 145 pillars of the bridge from the Crimean side. According to unofficial information, the bridge may have been attacked by Ukrainian missiles, or a car with explosives was blown up again. Eyewitnesses report that on July 17 at 3 am two explosions were heard on the bridge, now traffic on the Crimean bridge has been stopped. It is difficult to see anything on the footage, but apparently the asphalt canvas on the bridge has sagged and been destroyed. According to official data, there is damage to the roadway on the spans from the Crimea, now the state of the bridge is being examined. As a result of the incident on the Crimean bridge. 2 people died.

Most of the militarily relevant traffic, for military supplies, will use the rail bridge, not the car bridge. Like others said this has much less impact than the attacks they did last time.
The Russians will soon open up a 4-lane highway from Rostov to Crimea via Melitopol. Significant sections are already operational. Which will make these attacks have even less impact.
