Recently, another general was killed in battle on the Kursk Oblast Front.

According to Russian news:

Major General Alexander Nikolayevich Khachevsky, 75, a meritorious pilot of the Russian Federation, former director of the 4th Combat Application and Flight Crew Retraining Center in Lipetsk, test pilot of the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, and the first leader of the "Russian Falcons" aerobatic team, died heroically while performing a combat mission in Kursk Oblast.

According to more detailed reports, the Air Force major general was flying a Su-34 bomber, which was unfortunately hit by a Ukrainian missile, resulting in the destruction of the plane and the death of the pilot.

Although this news is short, it is still quite surprising.

First, the average life expectancy of Russian men is only 67.5 years old. Major General Khachevsky is already a man in his seventies and a national treasure in the Russian army. However, at the age of 75, he still had to fly a Su-34 fighter to the front line of the war to carry out bombing missions.

Has the Russian Aerospace Forces really been completely wiped out?
