From euromaiden today:
Russian paratroopers refuse to go to fight in Ukraine, the Ukrainian General Staff reports. “Due to the mass refusal of paratrooper officers to participate in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, the command of the Russian airborne troops decided to appoint contract officers without officer ranks and experience of participating in hostilities to officer positions.
After the massive losses suffered by the Russian paratroopers as a result of combat clashes with the defenders of Ukraine, the command of the airborne troops is trying to restore their morale and psychological state and combat capability. The main attention is given to units where more than 60 per cent of the personnel were destroyed and units where the personnel are demoralized and refuse to continue their service.
The biggest problem for the occupiers is the mass refusal to participate in the war by the command staff of the airborne units. Even personnel on contract, who were urgently assigned officer ranks, refuse to go to positions from platoon commander to battalion commander, with subsequent departure to Ukraine.”
Could this be a turning point in the air war and give Ukraine a chance to command the skies?
