Based on the intel gathered, it seems Russia's 104th Guards Airborne Division, now stationed in Ukraine's Kherson region, has reportedly faced heavy losses during an operation aimed at eliminating a Ukrainian bridgehead. As per the British Ministry of Defense, the division faced inadequate support from the air force and artillery, and many of its soldiers were supposedly inexperienced.
The intensity of these losses has prompted Russian military bloggers to call for the resignation of Colonel General Mikhail Teplinsky, the commander of the Dnipro force group and head of the Russian airborne troops. These bloggers believe Teplinsky's leadership led to this failure, considering his reputation as one of the war's more capable Russian field commanders.
The 104th Guards Airborne Division seems to be under scrutiny because of its performance and preparation level. Previous reports hinted at the division's subpar training, indicating it's likely not up to the standards set by the airborne troops, known for their 'elite' status.
